I am not sure where in county Kerry Mark and his father Jeremiah lived before emigrating. Jeremiah may have returned to Ireland and died there. I will try to find out more from my cousin .Perhaps we are related, since Falvey is not a very common name. I can also find out their exact birthdates. Mark's is on Find-A-Grave buried at St. Peter's in Winamac, IN along with James Falvey, my great -granfather. I recently got out of the hospital and am trying to get organized. Do you live in the US, Ireland or even somewhere else? Of course I don't expect you to be specific, just which side of the pond you are on. I also have German and English ancestry, so I do not take sides on political and religious issues, just try to learn about the history and culture. I live in Virginia, moved here recently to live with my daughter. Thank you and I hope we will have information to exchange re Falveys, Aherns or O'Malias. April
