We are planning a rtrip to Kerry in 2013, an we would like to get some info on our family before going to Ireland.
Our gggrandmother Margaret Gearin b 1844 Ardfert, we found 2 possible sets of parents.
Corneius Gearan an Nora Enright
Corneius Gearan an Ellen Flynn
Margarets mom died in Usa Pa. with name Ellen Carroll she was b. abt 1806
I beleive the name Carroll was a second marr.

If we can just find the right parents for Margaret

Hi Lorri, I had a quick search. Margaret GERAN born 3rd March 1843 to Corn. Geran and Nora Enright. Also Mary Geran born 10th January 1839 and Catherine Geran born 27th March 1843. All born in Ardfert County Kerry. In the rootsireland web site there is a record with the same spelling for Mary it states 1838, she may have been born in December and Baptised in January, hence the different years. I must say if you are in Dublin, it's quicker to register at the library in Kildare Street, get the microfilms of the Parish records. So before you go log into the National Library Ireland, make sure it's the Kildare Street one and look for the list of Parish records get the reel number before you go. It's 10cents a sheet! You also get more acurate information as you see the original book. let me know how you get on, please.
