thank you for your reply - very nice to meet you and to know that you have had the same wonderings as I. I think the landlord for the area was named Crosby - I seem to recall that the Crosby estate still has some remnants in Ardfert. I am encouraged, not discouraged, by your message - it confirms to me that I am not alone in my frustration in finding answers. Let's keep digging and sharing

Hello
My name is Dermot Nolan. I live in Canada. I am not very good at navigating this kind of thing. I stumbled upon this dialogue while researching "Kilgulbin" on Google. My father was Edward Nolan of Kilgulbin. I well remember Eugene Costello. I met him several times and was enchanted by his stories. i also remember his wife and his many children, many of whom i also met. i have seen the wonderful research by Frank Nolan who revealled to my family the existence of our many New Zealand relatives. We were in the dark about the New Zealand branch of the two families and are fascinated to find you all. If I can figure out how to engage in the conversation on a regular basis, I will be glad to join you. If I have any information that will be of interest, I will be pleased to share it.
Some years ago (before the advent of the internet), I tried to find out more of the history of the Nolans on the present farm. Family lore was that it had been in the family for 300 years. The question I have is, if that's true, were we tenants at one time and how did we first become owners - and is it true at all that we have been on the land that long? I came up dry because I was going about it the wrong way - i even retained a lawyer in Dublin to "search the title" as we would do in Canada but that went nowhere. Do any of you have any idea about that or where I could get those questions answered or researched further. i am sure the Costellos would be just as interested in the land ownership (occupation) history because it appears that the Costello- Nolan history is intertwined from way back - and they remain good neighbors to this day!. My dear Aunt Nora still lives in the county schoolhouse she bought years ago (where they all went to school) - and my cousin John still owns the farm. It appears that I just missed Frank when he visited in 2008.
Nice to meet you all!
