Hi Listers, I was blessed/cursed with ancestors by the name of O'Sullivan and O'Brien in Cork. Kind of like Smith and Jones so I thought I'd run a check against Griffiths. My O'Sullivan was Patrick who married Margaret O'Brien. They had two sons that I know of for sure....Jeremiah born 1829 and Patrick born about 1830. I don't know the name of Margaret's father. While there are tons of O'Sullivans and O'Briens throughout Cork, I found only two places where the two families were together. There is a John O'Brien in Castle Town Bearhaven, Kilaconenagh and there is also a Patrick O'Sullivan. There is a Jeremiah O'Brien in Ballybeg Middle, Buttevant and again there is also a Patrick O'Sullivan. These are the only two places where the two families lived together...at least in Cork. Now supposition kicks in. Since there are no Johns that I know of in the family, I put him on the back burner. Problem is, there could have been other sons named for Margaret's father and I just haven't located them yet. That leaves Jeremiah O'Brien. According to custom, Patrick and Margaret would have named their second son after her father (I think that's right.) but, as far as I know, Jeremiah was their first son. Now I'm babbling so I ask...what's my next step? (Other than praying that it's one of the two and not one of the hundreds) I know virtually nothing about Patrick and Margaret and their sons married in Massachusetts rather than Cork so I can't use the maiden names of their wives to narrow it all down. I'm hoping that, if I can figure out where in Cork Patrick and Margaret were from, I can find out more about them. Help! Stay well, stay safe, and may you always have enough, Chris
