Anyone researching Catholic families in the Barryroe area in West Cork - and living within access to Dublin - may research the RC parish registers held in the National Library, Kildare St., Dublin 2.
Anyone without access to Dublin can hire somebody, eg. me, to look at these registers. Contact me directly at

This is true of all Catholic family research in Ireland.
Peter Keohane was a 2nd cousin of my grandfather, and as he went into business - and was very successful everyone in the area knew him.
The only Keohane - Kirby connection i know of were the parents of a Jeremiah Keohane, who was one of the builders of the Star of the Sea church in the late 1860s.
