Parishes of Interest in the Ossory Diocese- Mooncoin, Mullinavat, Kilmacow, Owning and Templeorum, Slieveroe, and Windgap parishes



Individual Parishes near our known ancestors

It appears that our known ancestors came from the southernmost part of Ossary Diocese- the parishes of Carrigeen and Mooncoin, Mullinavat, Kilmacow, Owning and Templeorum, Glenmore, and Slieverue. One related Jersey County family came from Windgap. Their post town would have been Waterford City.
