This is primarily a reply to William Romanski, but I wanted it on the list as well. Kilorglin: Shea, Quirk, Sullivan, Coffey, Connor I believe my gr gr grandfather, James Shea (born about 1840), was from Kilorglin. He had a brother, Bartholomew and their father was also Bartholomew. I suspect there were other siblings but can't confirm it. A Patrick Sullivan, about whom I know nothing, was a sponsor of my gr grandmother at her birth. Both brothers went to Glamorgan, Wales about 1850 where my gr grandmother was born. James Shea married Catherine O'Neil, but after she died (1870) he seems to have "abandoned" my gr grandmother to her maternal uncles, and remarried a Mary Quirk (daughter of Daniel and Bridget Quirk). James' brother, Bartholomew, married an Ellen Moran who had several siblings, one of whom married a Daniel O'Connor, another married a Timothy Coffee and a third married a John Grady. All of those people immigrated to Glamorgan, Wales, and nearly all ultimately immigrated to New Haven, CT. I have not been able to be sure that I have these people in Kilglorin, but so many of the same names seem to be there that this seems to be the best guess. (There are a couple of censuses which state Kerry; one says that James and Bartholomew were from Kilmare and Kildare) I apologize that this is vague and confusing, but all these people are related, and I don't know how to say it easily. I would be happy to try again if any of these sound familiar, William, especially. Sue
