Kerry / Re: CLIFFORD FAMILY FROM CARCHIVEEN

Linda,
Your Thomas Sigerson and my Thomas Segerson could very well be the same person! At the very least I know they are closely related because they are both from Dungeagan.
What year would you estimate your Thomas to have been born? Mine was born about 1792 and died around 1848.
I have visited Ireland only once in 2005. Unfortunately it was with a tour group of Girl Scouts and most of the adults on the tour has visited Ireland before so they skipped the Ring of Kerry. When we got to Killarney and I realized how close I was to Ballinskelligs I rented a car but only got as far as Killorglin. I was handling driving on the left side of the road until I came on a crew working on the road and scrapped a road grader!
That trip sparked my interest in my Irish family history so when I do get to Ballinskelligs I will really appreciate it. I am attaching a picture of my mother's cousin Kate Segerson taken when she visited the "Sigerson Castle" back in the 1930's.
