John, My great grandmother's sister married a Timothy Mansell in Cambridge Ma in 1911. He was from Castlegregory, County Kerry, which is on the Dingle penisula. I am work (night nurse) but have some details on the family at home. When my grandfather came here from Kerry he lived with his aunt. I will email you tmorrow afternoon with more information/details. I do remember that their first daughter was named Katherine and another son was named Thomas. Its not a very common name so there may be a connection, although both Katherine and Thomas were very common names.

In essence, I have a minimum of info. My maternal grandmother, Katherine Marie MANSELL came to the US in 1898, married Thomas MORAN in NYC in 1904. While I'm not exactly sure if Co. Kerry is the correct locale, there were past family references to Dingle Bay, and the Dingle Goat (if that makes any sense) so I thought I'd try. And I have no idea who her father was. How about that for a paucity of information? ;) If anyone could suggest something or if the name rings any bells, I would appreciate hearing. John McManus
