I have been following with interest the messages discussing possible town names, locations, and meanings for "Killnaulough" or "Killnaclough". I am wondering if anyone might take a guess at the town name passed down to me: "Bolingole". It appears to be an Americanized spelling and I have no idea what the actual name might be. It would be either in County Kerry or County Cork. Associated names are Dineen and Kelleher; Kelleher later married Brosnan in U.S. Please send any ideas, thoughts, suggestions. They will be very much appreciated! Brooke __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
Brooke - Any idea if she lived in a larger town, or a little village, or spoke Gaelic. If you think it might have four syllables: Ballingeary (Irish: Béal Átha n'Ghaorthigh) is a village in the Shehy Mountains in County Cork, Province of Munster, Ireland. A Gaeltacht or Irish-speaking area. Here is one reference: Guy's City and County of Cork Directory, 1886, Ballingeary and Inchigeelagh.
