East Skeam, along with West Skeam are located near the mouth of Roaring Water Bay about four of five miles to the West on N-72 after leaving Skibbereen, Co. Cork.Other islands in the same area are Clear, Sherkin, Heir, Manhatan and Long Island.On your map they should be between the city of Baltimore and Schull. The names of the members of your family do not jibe with mine.I suspect you are descended from another branch of the Desmond family.You might try Mallow to the North of Cork City.There are also Desmonds in Cork City, one of whom was a Timothy Desmond, a well known Judge of a prominant family.He has since died but I am sure he left family in the area.Good luck in your search.Tim Desmond
