    3. In Ardfert, Kerry, I used the Christening records and confirmed the existence( for my surname) of multiple men with the same first for most of the common first names. There were several cases where either the husbands or the wife's name was almost certainly wrong in a record. The less than one third of the marriages were in the marriage register for that parish. I suspect the parish priests often confused grooms or their brides with siblings.
