My ancestors all came from the Dingle Pennisula. Dingle, Lispole, Causeway and I think Ballyheigue. Surnames: Dugan, Dorgan, Lumery, Bowler and Supple.

My Irish ancestors were from County Armagh (Clonfeakle Parish). The Donnellys lived in Derryscollop, and the Mullin/Mullen family lived in Tullyrone. Both of these townlands are very near the County Tyrone border -- in fact the closest town of any size is Moy, in County Tyrone, where they attended church (Church of Ireland).

Surnames: Donnelly, Anderson, Mullin, Lightbody

Mary, if you're new to researching in the Dingle area you may want to have a look at this link. Memorial University in Newfoundland has some Irish records. I was really quite fortunate that they had baptismal records for Ballyferriter, which is on the Dingle Peninsula so I was able to get records from the 1820s, 1830s. They charge for the service but it was very reasonable and quick.

I have Kelly and Dolan from County Roscommon, Ireland. Martin Kelly and Catharine Dolan came to the US ca. 1845. I'm not sure if they were married before they came. But they were in New Hampshire in 1849 when Catharine gave birth to my Gr Gr Grandmother, Margaret (Kelly) Jones.

In 1850, the family lived in Boston, MA. By 1854, they had made their way to San Francisco, CA.

I have researched them extensively in the US, but haven't made the leap to Ireland yet.

Mine are:
Mitchelstown, Cork, 1700 to 1811, Surnames: Casey, Flynn, Shanahan, Hassett.

They came to Washington Co. Missouri in the USA via a Canadian port of entry. My Casey ancestor was named Andrew and was listed as a Shoemaker. I would like to find his home and parents from the parish records.
