No relation, but just incase the name Breen isn't picked up

Cork is divided into two parts for genealogy purposes
South West and North East. The North East area well to the east of Cork City belongs to an Irish History Foundation with baptism and marriage records. This is a not for profit but fee paying website. You can find some free information on these two websites.
