Jeremiah King's "County Kerry Past and Present" gives: "Lauhir, lathair, site, baile in Glanbehy". and "Glanbehy, gleanne beite, birch glen, paarish in Iveragh is composed of 40 bailes . . ." Glanbehy is present-day Glenbeigh, on the south coast of Dingle Bay some 30km west of Killaarney. From the OS map, the ground between there and the lakes of Killarney is reasonably flat, so one might be able to see the tip of Lough Leane from some high point in the parish. Chris 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). This is the closest I found, a townland called Lauhir, in the PLU of Killarney. You said the writing was smudged. I used the www.seanruad.com website and just used the first section for townlands in the County of Kerry, province of Munster. It listed all of them. Then I tried the PLU box for Killarney and found Lauhir. Thanks for finding this Maureen. Looking at the handwriting, it is possible that it could be Lauhir, though it looks like it is spelled without the 'a'. I wish I could paste it into this email but I scanned it into a word document and cannot figure out how to copy and paste it. I wondered why they didn't list the county. What is a PLU? Is there a map that shows where this townland is or was--does it still exist? How does Lauhir connect with Beall? I am so confused by all of these names! I can't believe I went all the way to Killarney and didn't go there. Can you believe it? I get the information 2 months after I go to Ireland! Donna
