Greetings,
My sister & wife & I are visiting the area in the 2nd week in September, 2016.
We are particularly interested in knowing of Catholic cemeteries in the area of Clonmult, Ballynoe (Ballynattin) & Conna.
We will br travelling thru these towns hoping to establish a link. On our O'KEEFFE side our GGGF was born in Clonmult, GGF born in Conna. Our GGGM was Catherine DOYLE also possibly from Clonmult, with a possible link to DINEEN/DINAN
I have only been able to isoloate some church & burial places so far - so would be grateful for an assist with this.
Many thanks,
Jock O'Keefe

Jock, Hope you found the O’Keeffe’s in Clonmult. We must be related because my great grandfather was Maurice Keeffe. He lived in the farmhouse where the battle of Clonmult took place. I hope to go there this year. I found a distant cousin , Jim O’Callaghan. He sent me photos of the area, and a memorial they built on the site. It is impressive. They named a well , called it the Keefe’s well. You should read about the ambush there.
