Finding a kerry townland

3/30/2013

Your greatest aid to finding the exact location of a Kerry townland, once you know it's name, is Kerry Civil Parishes and Townlands
A group of genealogists came together and mapped out the townlands. Thank you to each and every one of you! There was 87 Civil Parishes (taxation districts) in County Kerry. Please note that Civil Parishes and Church Parishes do not neccessarily share the same boundaries although they may share the same name. 
Each Civil Parish comprised a number of townlands. The goal of everyone tracing their Irish/Kerry roots is to identify the townland of origin of their ancestors. A townland is a rural area sometimes comprising only a few acres. It usually does not contain a village. Most Irish towns contain several townlands.

I have lots of Irish relatives -- but no one alive to give me information.
Lawler, Brady, Maley, etc. I came to Dublin, but without knowing a Parish or town, I was unable to find any of them.

This must have been heart breaking for you Patricia. You are however welcome to post the information you do have on the Ireland board here
http://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-0 or if you have a county then on one of the county boards. Also google clan gatherings to see if any of your families are having gatherings this year or next.
Since more and more information is finding it's way onto the internet it is well worth a try.
Do let me know how you get on.

Dolores I'd love to take credit for this amazing piece of work but it isn't mine. This is a full list of contributors to the site http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~irlker/contrib.html
They are an amazing bunch of people. I can't thank them enough because they make our work in www.irelandXO.com so much easier.

I found that my 3rd grandparents are from Muckenagh Kiltomy County Kerry !!!!
Their names are John & Johanna Kelleher.
John Kelleher was born in 1831 in Ireland.
Johanna (Kelleher) CORCORAN born in 1820 in Ireland.
Their one daughter Bridget was my 2nd great grandmother
When Bridget KELLEHER was born in December 1857 in Ireland, her father, John, was 37, and her mother, Johanna, was 26. She married Muarice "Morris" DEE She died on March 8, 1937, in Homestead, Pennsylvania, at the age of 79.
When Leo Paul Dee (my grandmothers father) was born on December 12, 1896, in Pennsylvania, his father, Muarice, was 42 and his mother, Bridget, was 39. He married Marie Barret on July 1, 1920, in Brooke, West Virginia. They had three children (one my grandmother Kathleen Dee Iverson) during their marriage. He died on September 22, 1959, in Homestead, Pennsylvania, at the age of 62.
When Kathleen Dee Iverson was born on August 8, 1921, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, her father, Leo, was 24, and her mother, Marie, was 24. She had three daughters (their oldest/my mom Kathleen Marie Iverson ) with William E Iverson. She died on December 15, 2002, in her hometown at the age of 81.
