Hello everyone,

I am looking for any information that will help me find out where my GGgrandparents and Ggrandparents came from in Ireland. I believe they came from Cork and Kerry but I have very little to go by. My great aunt Margaret Sweeney my grandpas sister, married her first cousin Bryan McSweeney (my Ggrandpa Jeremiah)dropped the Mc when he came here. His brother Patrick however did not and I don't believe he ever came here at all. Anyway, Patrick came from Kerry because it is on the marriage cert. I obtained for Margaret and Bryan when they married in 1934. Now my problem is WHERE in Kerry? If I can find this out It will allow me to go on a further search for the rest of my ancestors. If anyone out there has any good, free irish sights that will help me i would appreciate hearing from you. Right now I have lots of info on my Ggrandfather Jeremiah all the way down to my siblings, their children and their childrens children. If you are interested in my story please get in touch with me.

Thanks,
JeanLouise
