What We're About:

We are two cousins, Marina and Cathy, who have been  wrapped up discovering our family ancestors and history for the last 5 years. As is more likely to happen than not, we have hit a few snags, bumps and road blocks along our way. This blog focuses on the O'Kanes of Crebilly, Ballymena, Co. Antrim of Ireland.
