I am trying to find out about my grandmother's family, but I don't know where to look. Her name was Catherine O' Shaughnessy and she was born around 1900. There were 9 kids in her family. She and her sister Annie came to the United States when they were teenagers. I know they had a brother John who died in a car accident in Ireland. They lived in County Cork but that's all I know for sure. It could be in the town of Charleville. I am looking for help on where to look. I planning a trip to Ireland in a few years and want to see where my grandmother grew up. If you know of any way to help, that would be great.
