Mostly for Alyn...Here is my cousin Helen's reply:

Quote:

WELL, DONNY,...COUNTY CORK WAS MENTIONED BY YOUR UNCLE BILL...MY FATHER. THERE WAS ALSO MENTION ABOUT COUNTY MEATHE.

I HAVE NO INFO. OTHER THAN THAT. ONE HAS TO KNOW THAT THERE WAS MUCH DESTRUCTION DURING WARS AND THAT FIRES TOOK AWAY HISTORICAL DATA.

SORRY I CAN'T HELP YOU MORE THAN THAT.

LATER,

CUZ HELEN




I also have vague memories of my Dad talking about County Cork but I have forgotten in what context. There are numerous Irish songs mentioning County Cork so that locale may simply have been implanted through repetition. My family sang many Irish ballads while I was growing up. Music was a constant in our home, all genres.
