I am seeking iformation about my great grandfather's family. He was born County Limerick on Dec. 20, 1835 to James Curtin and Mary (O'Neill) Curtin and baptized in Abbeyfeale Parish. His sponsors were Michael O'Neill and Margaret O'Neill. He emigrated to the US with his younger brother Cornelius (b. July 13, 1840 and baptized in Abbeyfeale Parish, sponsors Cornelius Curtin and Catherine Cotter). I would like the date of their emigration and any information on their mother's family (the O'Neills)

Hi Timothy
You don't mention your g grandfather's name but there are 6 baptisms of children of James & Mary in Abbeyfeale on www.rootsireland.ie/ A subscription site):
Dennis 1825 James 1833 Margaret 1831 Catherine 1830 Cornelius 1840 & another James 1845
Here is the parents' marrige record but of course it doesn't have her parents' names so finding her birth will be tricky:
Guessing at her birth year as 1800 + - 10 years this is the one that came up:
I couldn't find a James O in the Tithe Applotments (1823-37) free site in Limerick.
Here's an ancestry record of Cornelius's arrival in America - I assume that's where he went?)
