Tastefully elegant, easily navigable web site filled with information. While my Co. Cork Irish relatives came over between 1845 and 1855 and settled in Chicago, I can only hope they left behind relatives who fought this fight. I’m sure they did what they could from Chicago. Thanks for the site and the reading list.

This past weekend I attended the 100th birthday of my aunt Eileen O'Keeffe Manning who was born in Kiskeam. She is still of sound mind and body and I can only hope to be in her condition if I ever reached an advanced age. Here father (my grandfather) and uncle are listed members of the Kiskeam battalion of the IRA. My grandfather was a good friend of Sean Moylan, the flag that coverd Moylan's coffin also coverd my grandfather's. Aunt Eileen would tell stories of her house being used as a safe house for the men on the run. There was a trap door to the celler and a tunnel leading out to the glen. When the Auxileries came searching, she was told to get into the bed which covered the trap door and to feign illness. To this day I believe she is a rebel at heart. It is amazing that there is still living memory of that time. If there is anyone out there that can provide any additional information about the Kiskeam area I would very much appreciate any help.

Well done! I am researching Australian soldiers who went AWL in World War 1 to fight against the British in Ireland. My grandfather No20 Patrick Cornelius "Con" Casey stayed at the family farm in Glenanaar that straddles the Cork Limerick Border from August 1917 till October 1919. His uncle Patrick "Sarge" Casey was with the 3rd Battalion of Cork 2 Bde. They got up to a few tricks during the time.
