This family was a neighboring family of my O’Brien family and I would like to find meet descendants of this O’Brien family.  I expect that this family may have left Ireland for America or Australia.  There were many neighboring families that emigrated from the Kilmurry-Ibrickane Parish after the famine in the 1850’s.
