Looking for SULLIVAN - County Kerry

Wow! Thank you SO much Roger. Will delve further...much appreciated

Hi Roger

I have a DNA match in the USA at 109cm and have finally figured out they are connected to me through SULLIVAN and/or FLYNN from Co Kerry as per my first message through my Irish maternal side.

My DNA match Jim - he has his gt gt gp's as Patrick SULLIVAN (b 1800, son of Timothy SULLIVAN and Bridget COLLINS) and Honora MOYNIHAN (b 1800 Killarney, Ireland - 1860 Kerry) with Jim descending from their son Michael SULLIVAN b abt 1819. Jim has no other siblings listed for Patrick and Honora SULLIVAN.

I don't know if all his info is correct, I am just going off what he has in his tree, but as he is matching me at 109cm, he is about my 3rd cousin so the connection can't be too far back relatively speaking.

My gt gm Ellen SULLIVAN was born Co Kerry abt 1860 (1859 if that's her in that baptismal record you found). I am thinking maybe her father Donald (or ? Simon) SULLIVAN is the brother of Jim's Michael SULLIVAN ...now there was a Michael SULLIVAN on Ellen's baptism as a sponsor...? Ellen's Uncle.

My gt gm Ellen SULLIVAN was born abt 1860 and Jim's gt gm Mary A SULLIVAN was born 1864..so our generations to match up going down the line in terms of being the same generations if that makes sense to you. 

So I guess I have to try and find all the children of Patrick SULLIVAN and Honora MOYNIHAN.

Or the connection could be with the FLYNN side as both our gt gt GP's have the surnames of SULLIVAN and FLYNN.

I don't really know where to start. Do you think I subscribe to that site you mentioned? I am on Ancestry. 

Thanks so much for any tips/hints...much appreciated...

Kind Regards

Thank you so much Roger 

Hi Roger '

I have had a breakthrough with finding a presumed sister of my gt gm Ellen Sullivan for Castlemaine, Co Kerry- you looked her up for me and found a possible baptism for her : 

Name: Ellen SullivanDate of Birth:
Date of Baptism:10-Jul-1859Address:BoulteensParish/District:CASTLEMAINEGender:
county. Kerry
Denomination: Roman Catholic
Father: Simon SullivanMother: Gobinet FlynnOccupation:
Sponsor 1 /
Informant 1:Michael SullivanSponsor 2 /
Informant 2:Ellen Corkeran

Sister is JULIA ANN SI|ULLIVAN born  abt 1 SEP 1858 • Castlemaine, County Kerry, Ireland

I didn;t know anything about any of my gt gm's family, let alone she had a sister in NZ also so its very exciting find ( thru a DNA match) 

I have searched both familysearch.com and Ancestry and I can't find any baptism for her with mother Gabiney FLYNN or father Doanls or Simon Sullivan

Do you think you could possibly have a look for me on that site you found Ellen's baptism? If you cant that is totally fine, just thought I would see...

Thanks so much

Kind Regards

Oh my goodness Roger you are A Mazing!!  Thank you SO amazing. Thank Thank you 

Hi Roger

I have to give my thanks to you once again. Today I got my gt gm's death cert and her parents are listed - correctly I believe - as SIMON SULLIVAN and GOBINET FLYNN ! yahoo

So the baptisms you have found for me are the right ones

Thank you so so much
I have now begun a journey to find this Irish Sullvan/Flynn family that I never thought would happen.

Kindest regards
