Individual Details
Francis (Frank) O'KEEFFE
( - Aft 8 Feb 1912)
Frank farmed in Meenscovane in Duagh. We have a little information on a Cornelius O'Keeffe of Meenscovane who is believed to have been a brother of Frank's but we have no proof of this. Cornelius's father was also called Cornelius and the descendants of the younger Cornelius were known as the "Young Cons". Young Con had a son named Francis who was born in Meenscovane in 1872 and who married and had a family.
If Frank's was indeed a beother of the younger Cornelius, i.e., his father was the older Cornelius, then it is surprising Frank did not name his eldest son Cornelius, following the tradition of the time to name one's first-born son after his paternal grandfather. Frank's eldest son appears to have been Luke so Frank's father may actually have been Luke.
