Seven generations of family set for reunion

A family link to the Famine will bring almost 300 people together for the first time this weekend in Cork.

Seven generations of the O’Callaghan family from all over the world will gather for a reunion tomorrow.

Ballinhassig-based Joe O’Callaghan researched his Muskerry family’s genealogy back to the 1830s, when his great-grandparents lived in Cork, and on through famine times.
