A great passion of Daniel’s, who was born in 1807, was the study of his MacCarthy ancestry, and much of the material relates to his research into the life of Florence (Finian, Finghín) MacCarthy Reagh (c.1562–c.1640), Gaelic chieftain and scholar, and the MacCarthy Glas sept of Gleannacroim, part of the ancient principality and territory of Carbery. The collection also includes correspondence between McCarthy and both Bartholomew Rochford of Ardcahan and Father John Keleher on the subject and conditions of the famine. (Photos: David Creedon)
