I have been reseaching my family history from the Skibbereen and Baltimore area in southwest County Cork. I am focused on about 25 surnames - main surnames from this area are: Walsh, Minihane, Connolly, McCarthy, Collins, Leonard, O'Brien, Hegarty, and Sheehan.
Would like to make contact with others doing research in the Skibbereeen and Baltimore area - particularly on these surnames.

I have traced ancestry back to a Julian Minihan, b. bef. 1780, d. after 1798, married to a Henry Casey. All of my sourcing really comes from their son Henry who was baptised 24 Jun 1798 at Cork & Ross (Roman Catholic) of Bantry. That'all I have on the line so far, though.
I know that their son Henry married a Mary Hurley (b. abt. 1798, d. aft 1818) and that her maternal Haplogroup was I3a. But again that information I have only because of their names listed on their daughter's baptism which states she was born in Balnashruhara and baptised at Creagh & Sullon 19 Jul 1818. Married Marcus Coppinger 4 Jun 1844 a Cork &Ross (Roman Catholic) of Skibbereen & Rath.
