Cappoquin, nearby Carrigeen, and townlands Garraunfadda and Killahalla were home bases of my husband's family: Maurice Flynn and other Flynns. My husband's mother Teresa Flynn and 6 siblings were orphaned about 1900 and left Killahalla - to come to San Francisco. Anyone else researching Flynns from this area? If so, please contact me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christina Hunt" <Ninah@carolina.rr.com> To: <IRL-WATERFORD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 1:08 PM Subject: [WATERFORD] 1824 Pigot Directory - Cappoquin > I have a film containing the 1824 Pigot Directory of Ireland.
