You are probably wondering why I have chosen Roscommon, Longford, Kilkenny and Kerry. I have found my father's family on Clawinch Island in Co. Longford in 1850 in Griffith's Valuation. My father grew up in Co. Roscommon. Family stories say that the Brennans were kicked out of Kilkenny by Cromwell in the 1600's and there are Brennans here in Kerry where I live who are not related to us... or so I was always told.
