My great great grandmother was Hanora Houlihan, daughter of Patrick Houlihan and Catherine Goggin. I'm looking for anyone who may be researching similar family lines in the townlands around Ballyferriter, Dingle peninsula. Catherine Goggin appears to have had several siblings some of whom may have remained in Ireland. I know that my great great grandmother's sister Margaret Houlihan married a fellow named Michael Wallace. Margaret, Michael and their children ultimately emigrated to Springfield, Massachusetts.
Catherine Goggin Houlihan( my great great great grandmother) born about 1809 was the daughter of James Goggin and Mary Lucitt. Catherine married Patrick Houlihan in or near to Ballyferriter. I'd like to know when she and Patrick died and where they might be buried?
Any other information about any of these families would be appreciated.

Ed,
I just read your message after posting mine. My Great Grandmother, Catherine Fitzgerald, and her sister, Mary, went to Springfield, Massachusetts also. That may not be a coincidence.
Have you see this already? http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/fd0af60054…
