Jeanne, Many other counties are available from the Irish Family History Foundation. You might look to see if the county you are looking for is there. That is, however, a paid site. I did get lots of information on my grandfather's family in Kildare from there and had no problem paying for the results once I found the right people. But now you have to pay for the searches and pay in advance. I have tried looking for my Nora Lynch in Limerick and there are so many results that it would cost me a fortune to look at each one to see if it is mine. It seems to me that I was able to narrow down the results better when the search was free than it is now. I lost money over ten years ago with Irish Ancestors and I won't do that again. I paid $50 up front and found no information that I could not find somewhere else FOR FREE. I just checked the other day and still have 14 units of credit, since 2002!

Does anyone know the timetable for the transcription of the Church Records of the various counties? We Kerry researchers are spoiled because ours were done so early but other many counties still are not available. Jeanne from CA

http://mykerryancestors.com/blasket-anniversary-fiche-blian-ag-fas/ Blasket Anniversary & Fiche Bliain ag Fás Sixty years ago to-day, the last remaining Islanders were evacuated from the Great Blasket Island . One of the three most famous Blasket Island books was Fiche Bliain ag Fás. It was published in <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_language> Irish and English in 1933. As one of the last areas of Ireland, in which the Irish language and culture had continued unchanged, the Great Blasket Island was a place of enormous interest to those seeking traditional Irish narratives. Muiris Ó Súilleabháin was persuaded to write his memoirs by <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Derwent_Thomson> George Thomson, a linguist and professor of Greek who had come to the island to hear and learn the Irish language. It was Thomson who encouraged him to go into the Guards, rather than emigrate to America as most of the young people did. <http://mykerryancestors.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/MKA-Blog-Fiche-Bliai n-ag-Fas.png> Thomson edited and assembled the memoir, and arranged for its translation into English with the help of Moya Llewelyn Davies. Following the death of his mother when he was six months old, Ó Súilleabháin was raised in an institution in Dingle, Co. Kerry. Aged eight, he returned to Great Blasket Island to live with his father, grandfather and the rest of his siblings, and learnt the native language. He joined the Garda Síochána in Dublin in 1927 and was stationed in the Gaeltacht area of Connemara, where he kept up contact with George Thomson. In 1934, Ó Súilleabháin left the Guards and settled in Connemara. He drowned on 25 June 1950, while swimming off the Connemara coast. Follow the link above for the entire article.

We have added additional Irish Constabulary men from Kerry to the IGP archives. http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/kerry/index.htm To look at the names go to Military & Constabulary. Or you can do a search using the search box. These men joined in 1858. The listing is not the full year but covers service nos. 22751-24000. Thanks, Christina http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives

Hi Sue, If it's the church records you are looking for I found this to be working for me right now http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ The main site was working for me last night but it seems to be down at the moment although I would think that is just temporary.

Thanks to all who replied. They were right the $75 included the book. I contacted the Tuosist Parish Social History Committee and found out the book has been sold out. I have a relative who is going to Ireland in about a week and she is going to check the book stores in Kenmare. Wish us luck. ************************************

There are a number of mentions of Maulinagh in the church records on Irishgenealogy.ie in the parish of Rathmore eg http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/a1cde90420043 See if you can spot one of the families listed there in the 1901 census. It could have been a mis-spelling by a priest of a townland in the parish?

Peter, Sorry. The new URL for IreAtlas is http://www.thecore.com/cgi-bin/iresrch (That's why I prefer remembering Keywords) The exact Maulinagh spelling doesn't come up, so I tried places starting with Maul. (You need to change from exact matches). There's a dozen possibilities in Kerry and West Cork, so I think you're going to need to look closely at your data source. I'm guessing it comes from a shipping record to Australia. Check if it appears on any certificates you may hold. Better still, post some names, dates and sources for others to look at. Peter in Sydney

Peter, If it doesn't come up on Google Mps, there's two sites that I use for Irish place names http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/ireatlas/ http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/counties/rcmaps/ Peter

Hi All, Can someone please advise exactly where is Maulinagh, Co Kerry? I am advised it was somewhere near Rathmore. Any assistance would be so much appreciated, Many thanks, Peter, Melbourne, Australia

I believe that the $75 includes the book plus postage ($50 for book and 25 for postage).

The Tuosist Parish Social History Committee published a book "Lift the Latch". I would like to purchase the book which I understand costs $50 U.S. dollars BUT they also want an additional $75 to ship it. Does anyone know why the shipping charges are so high? Is there any way I can avoid the high cost of shipping?

Maybe the $75 includes both book and shipping total.  Google the book title to see where else you might buy it.  Ask if they do e books? >________________________________ > From: Barbara Mahoney <bjmahon31@verizon.net> >To: irl-kerry@rootsweb.com >Sent: Saturday, November 9, 2013 7:49 AM >Subject: Re: [IRL-KERRY] IRL-KERRY Digest, > > > >The Tuosist Parish Social History Committee published a book "Lift the >Latch".  I would like to purchase the book which I understand costs $50 U.S. >dollars BUT they also want an additional $75 to ship it.  Does anyone know >why the shipping charges are so high?  Is there any way I can avoid the high >cost of shipping? > > >_______________ >---------------        > >Policies of the IRL-Kerry List: >http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~irlker/mailing.html                                                >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-KERRY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message. > >To subscribe to the Digest version of the list, please send an email to IRL-KERRY-D-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'subscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message. > >To visit the County Kerry Research and Resources Page go to: >http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~irlker/ > >Share your stuff!  If you transcribed research data, share it with the Irish genealogy community.

Hi, I was driving around the Rossacoosane and Templenoe region in August 2010 and have a couple of photos of the Rossacoosane school, waterfront area and the Templenoe RC church if any are interested. I have heard you can't upload them to this site but contact me via this email address if you would like them.

Hello, I am trying to track down a "new" Shea. Crohan was one of the first Sheas to immigrate to New Haven, CT (1850 or so) and my Sheas and in-laws, Morans and Gradys, seem to have lived with his family when they arrived in New Haven. The only Crohan Shea I find in Kerry on irishgenealogy.ie is from Caherdaniel. This one was born about 1830. He married, apparently in New Haven, a Margaret Heyes because the 1850 census lists the two of them at one address. I also know that a John Grady/Gready married a Bridget Moran in Caherdaniel and these are presumably the ones closely associated with my gr gr grandfather. Does anyone have Shea, Moran or Grady ancestors from this area? I can give many more details if this sounds familiar. I tried to do it now but it just gets so confusing. Sue
