O'Sullivan Family History
Together the names Sullivan and O'Sullivan rank as the third most frequently found in Ireland. There were two main Septs with this name. The O'Sullivan Mor Sept was based in County Kerry and the O'Sullivan Beare Sept was based in County Cork. It is mainly in these two Counties that the majority of descendants can still be found.
A Sept is an ancient form of a Clan and is a group of people whose ancestors all bore the same surname and inhabited the same locality.
