    3. Hi Donna. If someone hasn't already helped you, you can look up variations of your g-grandmother's birthplace using Sean Ruad's great townland database at: Sean Ruad's IreAtlas http://www.seanruad.com/ Using this database in Co. Kerry I did a search for Beall and for variations of it, starting with Beal, and it came up with these: Beal East Beal Middle Beal West Bealagrellagh Bealdarrig Bealkelly Also in Waterford, there was this: Beallough-Waterford You can play around with the townland and county names, and the Search Method areas in the fields to get other possible results. Do you know about the FamilySearch.org website and their International Genealogical Index? http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true You can input searches in various ways; first read the Tips near the top of the page. Searching by the batch name, after you find one ancestor that fits, can give you some other possible siblings for the parents you may have found. Keep in mind that these records come from various submitted records from families or organizations. Can you give the Kerry List all names AND dates of the ancestors that you have knowledge of in this line?

My g-grandmother gave Beall Luikae or Luikai, or Luicas (the ink is smudged) as her birthplace in Ireland. Does anyone have a clue as to where this might be? Her brother had listed Killarney as his birthplace (on his death certificate). I also believe that another brother was already in Marinette, Wisconsin (which is why they probably moved there). He and his wife were listed as my g-grandfather's godparents on his baptismal (conversion) record. They were Eugene and Mary Sullivan. So I have a few more clues: another sibling, the mother's full name, and a mysterious location in Ireland! I would be immensely grateful for any help! Thanks, Donna
