Helen, as far as I've been told, they are the synonymous. I had a Deborah Kerrisk married into my Kelly line. Deborah can also be Gobnet and Kerrisk can also be Healy! No wonder we can't find what we're looking for at times. I did a Google for Kerrisk and Healy and found the Healy family network site: www.healyfn.com/healy2e.html They mention that one of the O'Healy branches of County Kerry was synonymous with Kerrisk. Looks like the record you found truly may be yours!

I have not had much luck but being a newbie to the collection I thought I missed it. This evening on a Donoghue Clan board which I'm also searching I saw a blurb that surprised me. It said the name Healy is synonymous with the name Kerrisk in Tralee/Killarney area. I was searching in Glenflesk, Teernaboul and Killarney. I found on a Kerry site a marriage that fits mine and name is Nora Forhan and Daniel Kerrisk. Is this true? Can Healy possibly be Kerrisk? Help would be appreciated. Helen
