Here is a link to the history of our common ancestor, Donal O'Sullivan
(click the title) and a picture of the now razed castle. I thumbed down
there from Cork City one winter. The story is a rollicking but tragic
adventure. Terry O'Sullivan insisted I learn my family's history when I
first went over. I just re-read it, and it pisses me off all over
again. I asked myself what became of the proud, strong, but ill-fated
folk who underwent that ordeal of constant combat and deprivation. The
answer is that they are right now at your computer wearing your clothes
(or shown below in a Superman suit). As Terry said, "Lest we forget to
remember..." One year we should take Donal (Dan) Buckley up on his
offer and have a family reunion back in the old country. Here is
another link to get you ready for that:
