Thanks VERY much!  I appreciate it!

I apologize for the late response. Too many end of year school things going on and not enough time to follow up on my genealogy stuff!  But I do appreciate your offer!   :)

Thanks again, Meara!  I hadn't found that one. I guess because I was spelling Boulacullane with an I. Seems like there are several spellings.

Now to figure out who Ellen is!  That's a new name for me.

I really appreciate your help!   :)

Kerry / Daly family of Boulicullane, County Kerry
« on: Friday 13 April 12 03:19 BST (UK)  »
My great-great grandmother was Bridget Daly (b. 28 May 1864). I've found church records in the Firies parish for her and her two brothers Patrick and Daniel. The address listed on those records was Boulicullane.

I've tried searching for telephone/address listings for Dalys in Boulicullane, but someone told me that it is too small an area to be listed that way. I was wondering if there was anyone who lived in or near there and might happen to know if there are any Dalys remaining.

I'd also like to know if anyone knows the closest cemetery to Boulicullane, or if there is an online presence to search for graves there. I know that Bridget's father Daniel Daly died there some time in May/June 1868, but I'd like to see if I can find an exact date or headstone transcription.

Thanks in advance!

Kerry / ANSWERED: Availability of Kerry RC records

Thanks again, Shane. I appreciate it very much.

Unfortunately, the three certificates I am interested in we're not digitized, so I'm out of luck. How I wish they had been!

This is a great site!  I wish I'd known about it when I started twelve years ago. I found out more information in just five minutes from leads here than any other genealogy site I've tried. Including ancestry.com!

Hope you're having a great holiday!

Shane,

Thanks for your message!  I appreciate it!

So, if I'm understanding correctly, there is no benefit to trying to get actual certificates from the church, it will only have the same information that I see on Irishgenealogy.ie. is that right?

Thank you again!  I hope you have a happy holiday!

Kerry / ANSWERED: Availability of Kerry RC records

I've recently found index listings for three of my County Kerry ancestors. While I was searching around for a church to send to for more information, I saw that you cannot access Kerry parish information without prior approval from the Bishop of Kerry.

After reading this information, I have a few questions:

Is it true that you need approval from the Bishop for records that are over 100 years old?

If it is true, how would one go about getting that approval?

Once you have that approval, is it something that can be done through postal mail?  Online?

Also, before I spend time trying to get approval, etc., can anyone tell me:

In the States, if you mail a donation to a RC church with the name of the person and one identifying date, they will send you a certificate with all known information about that person, i.e. Baptism, Communion, Confirmation, marriage, death.  Do Irish RC churches do the same thing?  Or is it only the same information you see in the online index at Irishgenealogy.ie?

Thanks in advance for any help!
