Clan Callaghan: The O’callaghan Family of County Cork

A record of the O’callaghans from the 10th century to modern times, including: the history and legends, plus key historical events that impacted the lives of O’callaghans in Ireland (the rebellion of 1641 and subsequent impact of Oliver Cromwell, the O’callaghan sons of the 17th century who achieved renown in the service of the monarchs of France and Spain, the 18th century penal laws, and the 19th century movement for Catholic emancipation).

The detailed bibliography and indexes to people and places will provide useful pointers to the reader for further research; while the genealogical tables and biographies of notable members of the O’callaghan diaspora both provide additional interest, and reflect the breadth and depth of O’callaghan family research that the author has undertaken and provided in this book. If you have O’callaghans from Cork this is sure to be of interest.
