What is recorded here
Gearóid O'Sullivan was born in Coolnagurrane near Skibbereen, County Cork, Ireland on 28 January 1891. He was the fourth son of Michael and Margaret O'Sullivan, drawn from West Cork farming families. His father completed the 1911 Census form in Irish, a quiet act of pride that probably shaped the boy's lifelong commitment to language and culture.
