Looking for Ancestors of James Loonie born 1829 in Tralee, County Kerry

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

www.irishgenealogy.ie is a free Irish government site which has Co. Kerry church records. There is an 1822 baptismal record in Tralee for a James Luoney. There are also siblings. Your James may have made himself younger when he came to America or this is a different James.

I will alert our parish liaison in Tralee that you have posted a message.

Can you give us the children's names? Have you found them in the Federal Census?

Did your James marry Margaret in New York? Have you got the marriage Cert? And James death Cert which may contain his parents' names?

Looking forward to hearing from you again.
