My Hegarty ancestors farmed 26 acres near the village of Conna in County Cork. They would have been well familiar with this place and to get to it, would have crossed a stone bridge that was erected in the 1600s. In fact, they would have watched as major repairs were done to it in the early 1800s. When this photo was taken, the Hegartys had been gone from the area for almost 40 years, emigrated to North America. – JH
