You never know what can happen with connections. Some of the O'Briens in County took the Queen's Oath and went to the Church of Ireland. Others did not. The O'Briens who lived in Garryarthur Kilflyn were of both persuasions. There is a tiny church in Kilflyn that is C of I. It is a beautiful little stone church surrounded by a wrought iron fence with a small cemetery behind. I wanted to go in when I was there but the gates were locked. I wanted to share this too.

I am sorry but I have been trying to follow this thread and have found so many messages like this one that really does not seem to be about the subject line. Could people please pay more attention to the subject line as it becomes a huge waste of time reading all these incorrect messages. Also the message below is about the O'Brien name which would never be found in the archives as there is no mention of the name in the subject line. Regards from Valerie in sunny Sydney.
