My Great Grandfather Jeremiah Francis Sullivan was born on his father's farm in Foilmore, in 1857. His parents were Timothy O'Sullivan and Ellen McGillicuddy. His uncle farmed in Foilmore as well, Michael O'Sullivan. He was Roman Catholic. I have only been able to confirm the properties on the Griffith's Valuation.
I am planning my visit to the area for early October of this year, and I would love to connect with someone in the area that could provide some direction to further my research.
All Best,
Janet

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
The RC parish for Foilmore would be Caherciveen. Records start in 1846 http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0658 You can use this free site www.irishgenealogy.ie to search for siblings. Have a great trip!

Hi Janet,
It appears that you are searching for my great grandfather as well. Jeremiah Francis Sullivan was the father of Eugene Thomas Sullivan, my grandfather. Eugene Thomas was born in Chicago to Jeremiah Francis Sullivan and Bridget Donoghue. How did your trip go? Were you able find anything to further your research?
Regards,
