Hello June, I doubt very much whether you will find much luck with the period you are looking at as there are no records, especially being RC. What records have you looked at that find Morton Kennedy born c1690 Co Limerick & Michael Kennedy christened at St John's Limerick as the records for birth for St John's start 1788. I have done a great deal of research in Limerick & the only way I have been able to go forward is with certain families using Registry of Deeds, Newspapers & Burk's Landed Gentry of Ireland & being lucky to find the odd will. Have a look at Nick Reddens Registry of Deeds site & see if there is anything on that site that may be of interest to you. I would be most interested in how you found your family back so far. Kennedy is one of the most common names in Ireland.
