I just thought I should post an update on this. I have looked at and saved all of your replies to that posting. I have seen no connection between any of these at the moment. Either between myself or any two of you. But I do have a suggestion for all of you. Do what I did. Take a really good look at the online church records. Search by mother's and father's surnames together. Search by each name individually and search by the townland. I found two records that were missed when I searched with the father's name, and one does not make sense. It did not come up using father's surname and the father's last name was 'n/r' but the child's surname was there and they were obviously the same! It did come up however when I searched under the townland of Tullig as well as another that was missed when I searched using names. It was using this database that led me to find the townland where my Mary Kelly came from - Kilmore. That was because she went home for the birth of her first child and the child was baptized there. So now I know that my O'Connors come from that area also. The clue here is to notice that the address of the parents is NOT in the parish of the baptism. For more information on locations look at our very own Kerry website: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~irlker/index.html Look at the parish maps and townland maps. Print them out and get to know the other townlands in the area you are looking at. It is well worth the effort. I spent two entire weekends and more evenings adding and verifying information on people I found because of this discovery. For the first time in 15 years I found a cousin who is actually and actively researching the same family that I am. At least a branch of the same family! I found her tree on Ancestry.com. What a novel experience for me! And you already know about the cousin I found on the ancestral homeland in Ireland. -- Slán, Marge in wonderfully wet and rainy Southern California Searching: Golden, Sullivan, Kelly, Shea, in Kerry and Connecticut O'Connor in Kerry Fee, Cassidy, Gilbride in Fermanagh, Cavan and Connecticut Lynch in Limerick and Connecticut Walsh, Stackpole, Garry/Garrey/McGarrey, Donovan in Kildare
