Hi Shannah, The book I have is very specific to the people that owned 1 acre or more of land in the year 1876, so I can't help you with information of who owned your family home later. The good news is the following entries are in the book for 1876 in County Kerry. Twiss, Edward, Dingle, 77 acres, valued at 31 L (pounds) Twiss, Francis, Tralee, 301 acres, 62 L. Twiss, John R., Ballahantouragh, Castleisland, 358 acres, 75 L. Twiss, Robert, M.D., Mount Prospect, Killarney, 250 acres, 39 L. Twiss, William, Tralee, 103 acres, 40 L. It looks like the first entry above is the one you are looking for with a lot of other relatives in the area. Good luck with your search.

Maryann, Thank you so much for the enclosed. Yes, this is, or, rather was my family.
