Roger,
Thank you for the reply. I have wondered if the family name got changed from Finneran to Fiinnerin some time during copying of records. I often found the US census records from one decade to the next would have spelling differences as well as dates of birth.
My daughnter spent a year in Longford Ireland after her retirement in the mid-1950's. At that time I wasn't nearly close tracing to Ireland. What a shame she could have seen the area where her Great Great Gandfather was from, since it was only a few miles, (Kilometers, away. She loved the area and would like take me too she that area. I fear my age makes that unlikely. Two years ago, I took a guided tour with a local theater group to England and Scotland, didn't get to Ireland or Wales. The returm trip was long and it took a could a toll on me. Plus, I was two years younger.
I will pursue US records in Vermont. Some marriage records require the parents names of both the bride and groom.
Again, thank you for the courtesy of your response.
