Churchtown - Link
« on: Friday 12 January 07 07:01 GMT (UK) »
I've added this link to the Cork Resources as it contains a huge amount of hisorical information which should be of interest to people searching for ancestors who may have lived in this area of Co. Cork. Churchtown village is located in the Golden Vale in the province of Munster less than an hour's drive from Cork and Limerick. It is 4km west of the N20 about 10km south of the nearest town of Charleville. The link includes a lengthy article by Jim McCarthy about "The Earls of Egmont, Landlords of Churchtown and Kanturk" There's a lot more to read if you click on "About the Parish" on the menu to the left of Jim's article and then click on "History."
