Peter, According to John Grenham's "Tracing Your Irish Ancestors," there are only a few RC parishes in Kerry which kept sacramental records before 1820, primarily in urban areas, such as Killarney. In other areas, oral histories preserve some earlier family history. For instance, in the Waterville area, a retired teacher wrote locally published books some years ago which recorded and preserved such histories illuminating one of my family lines to before 1800.  Perhaps the new IrelandXO effort to reach out to descendants of immigrants may offer some possibilities.  Paul Keroack   ________________________________ From: Peter R Booth <pbo08596@bigpond.net.au> To: IRL-KERRY-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, September 5, 2013 2:38 AM Subject: [IRL-KERRY] Myles CRONIN & Honora CLIFFORD c1820 Dunkerron & Kenmare     I'm rejoining the list after many years hoping some new data may be available.     I've checked list archives and there don't seem to be many researchers of the above surnames, despite Cronin being fairly prominent in Kerry records. Perhaps they are more widespread further north outside Dunkerron & Kenmare.     The Irish Times map of RC Parishes in Kerry shows Templenoe as the local parish, but when you look at records on the Irish Genealogy website it seems to be split between Templenoe and Kenmare.     I wonder if anyone knows of pre 1800 records. The earliest Cronin BDM record that I can find in all Kerry is the 1820 marriage of the above.     Myles and Honora had five children baptised in Dunkerron - John 1821, Mary 1824. Margaret 1831, Myles 1837 and Cornelius 1840. Trees based on records from USA suggest a Daniel & Timothy as well.     Margaret Cronin b1831 was my great great grandmother. She was sent to Australia in 1850 from Kenmare Workhouse as a Famine Orphan. Both parents are shown as deceased.     I'd like to know the origins of her parents, when they died, and what happened to Margaret's siblings.     Margaret's story appears on the Irish Famine Memorial website along with over 4,000 other orphan girls http://www.irishfaminememorial.org/ Peter BOOTH - Family Historian, SYDNEY --------------------------------------- _______________ ---------------        Policies of the IRL-Kerry List: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~irlker/mailing.html                                                To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-KERRY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message.

Hi Paul, My O'Donoghue family are from the Waterville area. My grandfather was the doctor in Waterville, my grand uncle was a teacher near Waterville. I would love more information on the books.
