Good morning list, Martin CARROLL, his wife Margaret and their three daughters immigrated to Iowa ca. 1852. Information taken from Federal Census - Iowa indicate that both Martin and Margaret were born ca. 1810 Ireland; their daughters all born in Ireland: Mary b. ca. 1845 Bridget b. ca. 1846 Julia b. ca. 1848 The only hint of a birth location is Martin's obit that mentions that he emigrated from County Kerry (not exactly first-hand information). I've not been successful in finding birth locations for any of this family. No mention in death records or death notices. Martin's Naturalization describes him as 'native of Ireland'. Without a particular parish to look in, a search in County Kerry seems to be next to impossible. I've checked thru the Householders Index only to find the name CARROLL appears in every parish listed. Any suggestions as to locating a particular County Kerry parish in which to begin a search? Gerry
