Hi, I don't know if my family are connected in anyway. We originally came from Westport in County Mao. this is in the west of Ireland. My aunt traced our line from present day back to westport at about 1750ad.I am presently awaiting enquiries to her to get a more fuller picture from her and more precise dates.

Dempsey - part of the O'Diomasaigh sept.
motto:elatum a deo non deprimat...
