cussen family from roscaberry

[DAVE WAITE]

Hello everyone
i am trying to find some information about my ancestors i have recently found out by sheer accident that my family hails from roscaberry in cork ireland.
i have found out that my great grandfather was maurice cussen born around 1874 and had 4 brothers he later married a maria bourke.
i found this out from an email from a distant relative that i had no idea about in america. my great grandfather was his great uncle.
as far as i know they were a farming family if any one can direct me in any way i should look or has possibly any info on the family please get in touch
regards dave

and other relevant entries on same site.

Spelling of parish name is Rosscarbery. It's spelled wrongly a lot including on the Irish Genealogy site.
