Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 15 Send Message	I am researching my family tree and have some information on the area my maternal grandmother came from in co cork. It was a rural area, and I have the names; Shull, Bandon, and Skibbereen. Would anyone know if these are classed as rural areas, and what does rural mean? I hope some kind person can help. Thanks Cath
