Do you have the birth certificate and the marriage certificate? They should have been registered. The indexes are available at your local family history centre.

I Don't have the birth or marriage or even death certs yet.
All i know are the names and i have had a search done at the local family history centre and they have nothing, but she told me not all records are sent anyway. Also i cannot afford the trip to Ireland just yet, but thank you for the tip.


Do you mean THE Michael Collins. He had a sister Margaret who lived in Clonakilty. Their father's name was Micheal though not Denis.

I have fount out that my Margaret Collins had a brother Jack Collins and it was a cousin named Micheal Collins.
Hopefully someone out there is doing this line and we cross each others paths.

Further to this I received the death cert and this John Mara is NOT mine, so if anyone is looking for the death of a John Mara in Killarney this may be yours

This is a small list of my names

CRONIN    O'CONNOR   STACK   BYRNE   from Kerry

Hiya Lizoz,

I've looked at Irish Ancestors Surname Search to get a rough idea what type of search may be involved ... at the time of the Valuations in Co. Kerry, which took place in 1852, the number of families in which you are interested were as follows ...

Byrne        25
Cronin      236
O'Connor  101
Stack      238

Would I be right in assuming that the families you are researching are members of the Catholic faith?

Have a look at www.familysearch.org as there are a few Timothy Cronin marriages around the time you say your ancestor Timothy was born. They may be connected if his dad was also called Timothy. They're from Glen Flesk Roman Catholic Parish which appears to be in the Civil Parish of Aghadoe.

There are ninety eight messages regarding families named Cronin from Kerry on Genforum. Some of them might be worth a look.

Hi guys,

What denomination are these ancestors you are seeking ... the ones in the late eighteenth century and nineteenth century up to 1864? They may take some time to find as Civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards but when the registration started some people didn't bother having kids registered for a few years after 1864.
