Thank you, Terrae, for your reply! I am astounded at the number of O'Connors/Connors that married into Sullivan families in that area...were they of the same social standing or perhaps living on neighboring farms? Could it have been that the O'Connor men were unbelievably handsome and the Sullivan girls unbelievably beautiful I'm still on the hunt for James and his forebears, as well as a link to the Somervilles - whom I have traced back to 1735. It is a thrilling trip to find family....I love every minute of it! SallyAnn irl-kerry-request@rootsweb.com wrote: Today's Topics: 1. Re: IRL-KERRY Digest, Vol 2, Issue 318 (LARRY MCCHESNEY) 2.

I have seen a lot of Sullivan families that have the given name of Hannah in them, but mine is not one of them, sorry. That seems to be a common Irish female name that is handed down, but I do not see a Hannah Sullivan anywhere in my tree, so was evidently not a family name that was handed down within my specific Sullivan line. Sorry I could not help you with your connection! I wish you the best of luck however in your search. Happy hunting!

A couple of years ago I began searching for Bridget BRESNAHAN and Nora O'CONNELL, mother and daughter, born respectively in or around Tralee around 1860 (plus or minus 15 yrs) and 1880 (plus or minus 15 yrs). The baptism records at St. John's in Tralee yielded nothing. Back in 1994 I even looked through the records myself. A much more skilled searcher looked more recently and found nothing. My question is: What are the names of a dozen or more towns in the vicinity that might be where my great-grandmother (Bridget BRESNAHAN) and my grandmother (Nora, or Hanora O'CONNELL) might have been from. By the time Bridget BRESNAHAN O'CONNELL and Nora O'CONNELL immigrated to America around 1900 (my Dad was born in Boston in 1910, and his parents were married in 1905 or 1906, (I have the certificate...but not in front of me) in Boston at the Paulist Church, or St. Paul's, anyway, in Roxbury, Boston. I was all excited about finding info leading to the discovery of my grandmother's birth certificate (I'd like to get an Irish Passport, if possible)... But, not even a professional ancestor search could turn anything up. Does anyone have any clues to some other towns, names of places or Churches where info might be found. My Dad (Paul Joseph Goode, died in 1990. Born in Boston, died in Oregon) used to say that they called my grandmother Nora "the Rose of Tralee." So, Tralee seems to be the starting place, and so far, nothing turns up. My Dad was proud to be descended from people from Kerry. Thanks for any help you can give me. If anyone can really help, I will fax you the results (inconclusive as they are) from the company in Utah that did the ancestor search. Thank you!
