Hi, I was searching for more details on my great grandfathers (George Nolan Cooper) family, when I came across this forum & read your messages. I have family members on here! I know he was in the Irish constabulary lived in Glengariff & had 13 children with Margaret Smith nee Vickery. I’m on ancestry, I have all their names etc but no details of each child’s family or My great grandfather’s history. I know Maria went to Canada & my mom had a cousin visit in the 70’s after her death. William Valentine died in WWI  1917 & my brother & nephew visited his grave this summer. I know an Aunt went to New Zealand & my mom knew her younger Aunts & uncle Thomas that settled in Birmingham, she was very close to her aunt Nelly & Henry Francis Cooper was my grandfather. I would love to hear of any history of my family & how many cousins of my mother & their family are still around. My mom knows so very little of her Irish roots, didn’t even know she had 12 aunts & uncles as my grandfather never spoke of Ireland after he came over. She was only in contact with the aunts & uncle in Birmingham. She met uncle Charles from Ireland at her fathers funeral in 1966. We visited Glengafiff & the police station where they lived in 2006 & I’ve been searching on ancestry for our family ever since. Any help or introductions would be wonderful
Many thanks  Debbie
