JOhn, I don't know if it's any help, but Mansell in Dingle could also have been Maunsell or Mansfield. My 2x great grandmother was Johanna Mansfield from Kilmalkedar, but her sister, who helped raise my grandmother, was known as Mary Maunsell, pronounced Mansell. So one of those names might help. Also, there's a Goat Street in Dingle, although I wouldnt' rule out there being a Dingle Goat, either. I must check with my mom. > Message: 3 > Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 11:54:50 -0400 > From: "John McManus" <jmcman@millinocket.lib.me.us> > Subject: [IRL-KERRY] MANSELL query > To: <IRL-Kerry@rootsweb.com> > Message-ID: <001201c7cd41$d027b520$254ef4a9@town> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > This is my first posting to this list, and it is > possibly a stretch.
