Irish Clan Book - O'Keeffe

“Nothing is difficult to the brave and faithful” is the motto of proud bearers of the O’Keeffe name.

County Cork, in the ancient Irish province of Munster, is the original homeland of the many thousands of O’Keeffes scattered throughout the world today.

From earliest times, their ancestors were dealt a series of devastating blows at the hands of invaders, with many paying dearly in defence of their freedom.

In much more harmonious times, bearers of the name have achieved fame and acclaim on the world stage – including the celebrated Irish composer Eoin O’Keeffe.

Chronicled here is the stirring tale of the O’Keeffes of both yesteryear and today.
