Hi,
I am new to this site. My grandfather, Patrick O'Sullivan was born in
Ballyagran, Limerick in 1879. He came to America around 1900 (we think). We knew
of brothers James, Michael and a sister Catherine, however when my sister,
Maureen and I traveled to Ireland and spect the day with Fr. O'Neill of St.
Colman's Church we found that there were 4 other siblings that my grandfather
NEVER mentioned (he passed away in 1958)..there were Susan, Mary (born 1893,
Ellen (1876) and John 1875.

Also we learned of relatives (?) Jeramiah Glavan, Mary Fitzgibbons, Ellen
Twohill(or Toohill), James Toohill (or Joseph), Mary Connors. Patrick Sullivan,
Margaret O'Neill, Henry O'Sullivan, Helen Twohill, Dennis Sullivan, Ellen
Keane, Michael Hartnett, Catherine Donovam, Joh Flavham and Susanna Sullivan.
These were the baptism sponsors of the brothers and sisters of my grandfather.

We beleive my great-grandmothers people (Twohill or Toohill) came from Cork
since Ballyagran is so close to the Cork border.

I would appreciate ANY help ANYONE can give us...Do any of the names above
seem familiar to anyone???

Please let me know..It is my mission to find our family. We are goinf back
to Ireland next summer and would like to take some information with us..
Thank you,

Cathy O'Sullivan
