Hi Everyone!
There is a beautiful watchtower castle in Cuffesgrange, Co. Kilkenny Ireland. It was the ancestral home to the Comerford family back in 1588. We are planning to host an annual gathering of the Comerford's descendants. Follow us on instagram or Facebook for details. We aim to uncover as much history and heritage about the property to share with Comerford's globally!
There are a lot of Comerford's following the page, you never know, you could find a distant relative! :)
