Hello,
I'm researching the O' Brien's of Ardcanaught. They are related to Michael O' Brien who was Bishop of Kerry from 1927? Anyone got any info? #

Hello,
my family are also from Ardcanaught. Did some research a few years ago so a bit rusty.

John, There is a small group of us who have and are attempting to sort out the old families of Keel Parish. We do have info on the O'Briens of Ardcanaught. We also have a photo site where we store photos that we have collected from Keel and Kiltallagh. Note, my interest in this area is that my maternal grandparents James Foley Cormack O'Brien and Mary Barton came from Shanahill East and Gortaleen to Indiana.
I look forward to hearing from you in regards to your O'Briens and would be happy to send you what we have. Thanks, Mary Leinenbach, Jasper, Indiana

I'm glad to have found this forum.
I've been interested for many years in my Kerry ancestry and only found this thread when I was researching records I found in the 1911 Irish census which has just recently come online.
I'm Brian O'Brien, my late father was Bryan O'Brien from Lissavane East. His people were originally from Boulteens or Keel. Our people were buried in Keel until my part of the family moved to Lissavane sometime before 1911.
I live in Co Mayo, Ireland and my best link to the past is my Aunt who still lives in Kerry and is in her 90s.
I know we're related to Michael O'Brien, the late Bishop, but haven't worked out what distance of cousins we are. I'm told that my grand-aunts, who had a shop in Killarney knew the Bishop personally.
I would appreciate any response.
Regards to any of my lost relatives who read this.
