I am new to this group but am confirmed to be a direct descendent of Michael Cuffe and Mary Cafferkey who lived in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Looking forward to connecting with others. Fiona McNamara

Thanks ColCaff - I have seen that record and believe I found evidence that John Cuffe married Bridget Cafferkey ( parents of Michael Cuffe). And John Cafferkey married Ellen ( parents of Mary Cafferkey). But I don't have a maiden name for Ellen. Any suggestions are certainly welcome. Fiona
