Good morning! My great grandmother, Ellen Condon, was born in Kildorrery and baptised on June 2 1866. Her parents were Richard and Catherine Condon, but I haven't been able to definitively go any farther back than that. I do not know where Richard and Catherine were born, but I believe they may have been cousins because in their marriage record, Catherine's father was listed as Timothy Condon. I think maybe Catherine's mother was a woman named Ellen Lee. And somewhere in Richard's family there was a Redmond Condon (perhaps Richard's father). I say this because Ellen's son (who was my grandfather) had the name Albert Redmond. I am hoping to definitively determine Richard and Catherine's parents (and maybe even THEIR parents as well, and to find out if, indeed, they were cousins.

I looked at www.familysearch.org and found three younger siblings of Ellen: Nanno, Bridget, Catherine.
www.irishgenealogy.ie has a number of baptismal and marriage records for Co. Cork. Not sure if Kildorrery is included. This is a free site. You can also check a pay site www.rootsireland.ie for family records.
