Cris, The reason that NESTOR and KENNELLY appears in my subject line is that in the course of purchasing records for my ancestor Denis SHANAHAN I received the following Co Limerick baptism record from the IFHF: Name: Denis Shanahan Date: 3 Mar 1830 Parish: Askeaton Denomination: Roman Catholic Father: Daniel Shanahan Mother: Mary Nestor Sponsor 1: Mi. Kennelly Sponsor 2: Mrs. O'Grady This date is correct for my Denis Shanahan, but the father and mother are wrong, so alas I know nothing about this Daniel Shanahan and his wife Mary Nestor. However, I keep and follow up on every SHANAHAN family I turn up in my research (haven't had a chance yet to dig up info on this SHANAHAN / NESTOR family) so I will contact you if I find anything that might be helpful to your search.

There must be a connection, dont you think? I hope so! Also I have a John FITZSIMMONS who married a Sarah WALSH in Nebraska in the early 1900's I have a NESTOR / NESTER (?) I dont know much about her at all. My great great grandmother was Mary (or Margaret) NESTOR married Cornelius KENNELLY (not sure of spelling of this one either) I was told they were from the Askeaton area, but dont know that to be a fact. My great grandmother was their daughter Margaret KENNELLY LANGAN. Does any of this sound familiar to you? Sorry thats all I have and Ive been looking for over 5 years!
