Hello, I am searching for birth and death records and marriage record of my 3x great-grandparents, PATRICK STACK (b: Abt 1796 in Dromin, Craughatoosane, Kerry; d: POSSIBLY 11 May 1874, Tralee); and his wife JOHANNA CARROLL (b: Abt 1798 d: Unknown), as well as my 2xGGparents, Michael Stack (b: 1830) and his wife Margaret Donohough (b: Abt 1840)
Patrick and Johanna had six children. I have baptismal records for each of them:
Catharina Stack (b 12 Aug 1817, Dromin; d: Mar 1880, Listowel (sponsors: Wm Stack & Brigid McCormack)
Thomas Stack (b: 14 Mar 1823 Dromin, Listowel d: 8 Oct 1882 Kilcolman, Listowel)
John Stack (b: 27 Mar 1825; Dromin, Listowel; d: 24 Sep 1904, Listowel) married to Mary O'Leary
Patrick Stack (b. 27 Mar 1826, Curraghtousane, Kerry; d: POSSIBLY 19 Jun 1903, Tralee Workhouse? Not confirmed
Maurice Stack (b: 24 Sep 1827, Listowel; d: 14 Aug 1888, 39 Gratten St, Cork) - married to Honora Rahilly (b: Jan 1834 Ballydehob; d: 25 Apr 1902, Cork)
Michael Stack (b: 20 Sep 1830, Ballylongford, Lislaughton, Listowel - BIRTH & BAPTISMAL RECORDs ATTACHED; d: UNKNOWN (my 2xGGF). Michael Stack is my 2xGGF who married Margaret Donohough (b: Abt 1840, Kerry; d: unknown).
Michael and Margaret married on 12 Feb 1861, Ballybunion, Kerry) MARRIAGE RECORD ATTACHED
Michael and Margaret had 5 children:
Patrick (Infant) (b: 1864 d: 1864)
John Stack (b: 2 Dec 1866 Ballylongford, Kerry) d: 30 Aug 1938, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (THIS IS MY Great-grandfather) BIRTH and DEATH RECORDs ATTACHED (death cert mis-states his DOB as year 1870; it was 1866).
Michael (b: 2 March 1871, Ballylongford, Listowel; d: UNKNOWN)
Johanna Stack (b: 25 Jun 1873, Ballylonogford, Lisloughtin, Kerry; d: 18 Jul 1946, Butler County, Pennsylvania USA)
Margaret Stack (b: 01 Oct 1875, Lisloughlan, Kerry; d: UNKNOWN)
Family oral history indicates we are related to the "Keane-Stacks of Listowel", but I have not been able to determine why this is as I found no Keane's so far in my tree.
I am hopiing that you can identify the birth and death records and parents and possibly siblings of Patrick Stack and Johanna Carroll as noted above, as this would provide a lot of new avenues of research for me, and possibly answer a few mysteries!
As you know, there are many Stacks in the Listowel area and I have come up to a brick wall on this issue!
Thank you so much providing such a helpful and generous service. If you need any further information, please let me know.

In the first record attached here, it shows the witness was Joseph Kane. That's pretty close to Keane. Perhaps you might research Joseph.

My family, the Stundons, hail from Causeway, Co Kerry. I can remember my father talking about a John Stack.
I've had to curtail my research for a while because of increasingly poor eyesight (cataracts) but I'm pretty certain that we have Stacks in our family history with Johanna Stack (Carroll) being one of them .
This was sort of borne out by John Carroll who lived near us in South Wales. He always said that we were related.
I hope this might be of some help.
