Hi Pat,   The Irish name for Ferns (Diocese of) is "Fearna" a few options open to you could be any of the following with some reservations:   The Townlands of:   Ballyminaun Big/Little (Parish of Ballymore) Barmoney (Parish of Bree) Ballymore (Parish of Castlebridge) Ballymorris (Parish of Clonard) Ballynamona (Parish of Clongeen) Ballymurn Lower/Upper (Parish of Crossabeg) Ballymore (Parish of Ferns) Ballygoman (Parish of Glynn) Ballaman (Parish of Kilrush) Ballymoney (Parish of Riverchapel)   So if you consider your "Farna" could be the Diocese of Ferns, I would strongly consider Ballaman as does Peter as the most likely location, allowing for the dialect pronunciations and the local tendancy to clip name places where Y is clipped to A and vice versa     JCN Wexford --- On Thu, 11/2/10, PeteScherm@aol.com <PeteScherm@aol.com> wrote: From: PeteScherm@aol.com <PeteScherm@aol.com> Subject: Re: [WEXFORD] Records To: pattimeyers67@att.net, wexford@rootsweb.com Date: Thursday, 11 February, 2010, 0:18 Patti asks: ===   Would anyone on the list know of a place which sounds like Ballaymon (pronounced with a brogue)?

Thanks, John, your information is very helpful.  Especially for Ballaman and Fearna.  I think Ballaman just might be the right place! Patti ________________________________ From: John C.
