Hi Everyone, Now that summer is coming to an end, vacation is over, and school supplies have been purchased, I am ready to get back on the trail of my elusive ancestors from Killarney! I have made my reservations--I am in London from October 17 through noon on the 20th for a conference and I have booked a flight home from London (Heathrow) on Wednesday the 24th. So, I now have to decide how much time to spend in Ireland v. London--I have never been to either place. I have found flights from Gatwick and Stansted that will get me to either Cork or Kerry. I have to return to London very early Wednesday morning so I don't have much time. Having never been to either place, I'm trying to decide how much time to spend in London before heading to Ireland. So, my first question is: what do you recommend? Spending most of my free time in Ireland or splitting my time between both places? I'd like to take a tour of the city--bus or walking--and at least see the British Museum. Is it possible to do that in 2 half days? I arrive around noon on Wednesday and, if I'm not too exhausted, can do something that day. I also have from noon on Saturday. My second question is: Is it better to fly into Cork and drive to Killarney and see some more of the country, or fly straight into the Kerry Airport? Finally, I have not gotten any closer to finding my g-grandmother's maiden name. But I did see in the Family Search database a baptism that might be my g-uncle. The problem is that I have no idea what to do next! I don't know what possible information might be contained in these records. Would it list other children and their birth dates? If so, I would hope to find my g-grandmother since she was 2 years older than him. Here is what I found (I've bolded the text that have links to follow): JN Sullivan, Male Christening: 25 AUG 1849 Roman Catholic, Killarney, Kerry, Ireland Parents: Father: TY. Sullivan Mother: Ellen Kelly Messages: Extracted birth or christening record for the locally listed in the record.

What does it mean if there is no printout call number? Any advice will be greatly appreciated! At this point, I don't really have any trail to follow once I arrive in Killarney. All I know is that my g-grandmother and a brother were born there in 1847 and 1849 and their Dad's name. I also know they arrived in America in 1866. Thank you for your help! Donna
