Looking for any information on my Great Grandfather Joseph P. Kean.  Born about 1837, Roman Catholic, in Knockainey or in Kilcullane, Tullabracky, Herbertstown, Hospital area.  Died in Chicago in 1887; married to Margaret Woods of Limerick.

Thank you,

Jim Kean; Chicago IL USA

  • Jim:

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    I did a search on Roots Ireland in Co. Limerick and the closest baptismal record is the one below. I assume you do not know his parents names?

    Have you considered autosomal DNA testing?

  • Roger:  thanks for the DNA suggestion.  I did the autosomal DNA test last year; with an 98% Irish result I received literally thousands of matches, far too many to respond to.  It's the spelling of my name of "Kean" that's the problem, I believe!
