Sheehan family tree (relevant only to my sons)

Sheehan, is derived from the Irish language “Ó Síodhacháin” with its modern Irish form “Ó Síocháin” (the obvious derivation from “síodhach” modern Irish “síocháin meaning peace”, is not accepted by some Celtic scholars). This name, together with the variant Sheahan, rank among the eighty most frequently found names in the country. It is in counties Limerick and Cork that the majority of descendants can still be found, the Dalcassian sept which spread southwards accounts for this. Formerly also there was an Uí Maine sept of this name which, however, is rarely found in Connacht today.
