For those where I had the documents, all that is in order. For the others? Well, maybe I'll find some hints, maybe I won't. But there is plenty to keep us busy these three weeks, even if there is no townlands clue for those elusive Kelly's!<br /><br />Colleen, did I see your name mentioned in a file in one of the Tipperary groups on Facebook? They have been very helpful.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-52394342365862407262014-09-29T09:56:09.519-07:002014-09-29T09:56:09.519-07:00Kilcummin is about 4 miles NE of Killarney.

The Barnfield in question is near Currow - and a mile or so from Killeentierna.<br /><br /> Lisheenacannina is near Ballyhar - which is about 5 miles north-northwest of Killarney. I think all these towns are really quite close together and within an easy walk from one to the other.<br /><br />Don't forget too, the railroad(s) started popping up back then - The Killarney Railroad station opened on 15 July 1853. The line ran to Farranfore (which is very near Kilcummin and surroundings).Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-16393233370277741842014-09-28T16:21:13.962-07:002014-09-28T16:21:13.962-07:00Jacqi, in figuring out locations in Ireland rememb...Jacqi, in figuring out locations in Ireland remember to find out the townland, the parish, the county, etc. Then locate it on a map.

Some even call it addicting! And I can see what they mean.<br /><br />I can't wait to hear how the Irish pronounce that townland name, Lisheenacannina. It sounds worthy of someone writing a song about it! So poetic. But I've been told that the Irish pronounce some of the town names differently than someone like me--living in California with an ear tuned to a multitude of people speaking the Spanish language. Just take the name Ballina, for instance. How do the Irish pronounce <i>that</i>?

It gives you something to look forward to -- a little surprise or reward for plugging along. Some amusement when the rest of our work isn't so amusing.
