There were many Irish from county Kerry who immigrated to the Nashua, New Hampshire area to work in the mills and foundrys. Quite a few of them from the Ballynakilla part of Glenbehy. .Sullivan was as common as the surname Smith. Perhaps you will find a connection to your Sullivans among the Nashua Irish. Anne

Thanks for that. I'm actually still in Ireland, in Dublin - my grandmother was a Sullivan born and bred in Ballinakilla, so to be honest, I'm not hugely interested in emigrés. I might get around to it, but at the moment my main interest is in direct ancestors, and none of these emigrated. Obviously, if the information I have is of any use to anyone else, they're welcome to it. It's an interesting snippet to bear in mind for the future though. thanks, Steve.
