Welcome to the genealogy site of the town and surrounding area of Bandon, Co Cork. This site is being put together to help those researching their roots specifically in and around Bandon. It is provided free of charge to the users. Additions to the site will be on-going and we will endeavour to mention these on our blog. We are currently compiling directories for the 1700s and early 1800s based on information from various sources such as deeds, wills etc. We will keep adding to these as we receive new information.
We are always happy to receive contributions of historical or genealogical interest for the Bandon area. Please email us at bandon.genealogy@gmail.com with any suggestions or additions that you may have.

Our latest publication entitled 'Bandon, County Cork. A Social History of North Main Street and Kilbrogan Hill' is now available on Amazon. We have inserted the chapter titles and index on this site. Well known Bandon families such as the Bennetts, Tresilians, Cornwalls, Teulons, Baldwins and Hornibrooks lived for a time on the street and we have done our best to identify the exact houses where they lived and/or held leases.
Our first publication entitled 'The Tresilian Family of County Cork - Landowners and Bandon Merchants' is also available on Amazon and the chapter titles and index are listed on this site. The Tresilians married into well known Bandon families such as the Pophams, Sullivans, Allmans, Belchers, Bernards, Seymours, Jenkins and Jagoes.
A new publication entitled 'Murragh - A Place of Graves' has just been released. It provides a very detailed analysis of the graveyard and families buried there.
