Help finding information on Foley's in Inch ?

Hi Roger McDonnell, Patric was married to Jane ( Jennie ) Martin Foley and they lived in Iowa, South Dakota and Oregon in America, she was originally from Kilanny County Louth Dundalk. But I do belive that Patric was possibly married to someone else while he was still in Ireland and has possibly had a son while still living in Ireland named Jack Foley, while living in Inch, County Kerry I think, near Dingle Bay, south of Shannon or in the Cork area as I know that those were the two areas that he had lived. He didn't meet Jane ( Jennie Martin ) until he had later moved to America. 

Thank you so much for this information, I will try and check this information with anyone else in the family and see what other information that they might have and how it might match up to it. Hopefully I can use this information to try and track down some further information and leads that I've heard about, such as Thomas's parents, and any children that Patric might have possibly had while he was in Ireland, before he came to America, rumor is that he had a family there in Ireland and had a son named Jack but I haven't been able to find any information about that yet. I'll keep using this information to continue my search and am hoping that maybe someone locally in Inch or who is related will see this and be able to help. 

Hi, I was wondering if someone local, as in someone from Ireland with the local Irish knowledge could help me out with some information to understand some of the different things that I'm seeing online as I try to research and distinguish the difference of a parish and other things. I was on the Irish Genealogy website and had done a few searches for my great grandfather and my great-great grandfather and was trying to get some more information about the family tree going back further but so far I haven't been able to tell which person I'm looking for, as I'm still not 100% sure if the birth date is totally correct or not, and then when I see the names come up on the search it'll say the name and where they're from but sometimes it'll say an occupation or a location as NR, RC, can someone tell me what those mean so I can understand what I'm reading when I see those on the searches.    Thanks 

Hi, Lee. 

I believe I am your second cousin.  Your dad Larry was my cousin, your grandfather, Eugene, was my dad's (Thomas Francis Foley 1922-1980) brother.  I have been doing the same work as you.  Luckily a good friend who is very skilled at geneaology is helping me get a better picture of our family.  My sister Nancy Foley Stoneback is also working on this ( you may have spoken with her previously) and posted pictures in the County Kerry group under Patrick Thomas Foley. The pictures were taken during a visit we made in 1977.  We met a man by the name of Foley at Foley's Pub (go figure) in Inch who said his family had bought our family's property and drove with us to the property. The pictures are of a couple buildings on the property.  There is another picture which is of Mr. Foley from Foley's Pub in Inch. He is standing next to his family headstone at the Inch cemetery.  

My friend and I have been using Giffith's Valuation Maps, Google Earth and the photos from 1977 to identify the property our family lived on.  We think a vacation rental property is now located on the property and is owned and operated by a Patrick Foley.    

As far as Jennie Martin Foley's family goes we met her son (your grandfather Gene and my dad's half brother) Jack Martin and his wife Frances in 1977 at their home near Dundalk. I am hoping my sister Nancy may still have some of the hard copy correspondence with Jack and Frances, as well as other family we met during our trip in 1977.  

If you would like to discuss this offline, please contact my sister Nancy for my contact information. 

Warm regards, 

Karen Foley O'Mahony
