Sugrue/Shugrue/Shoughro

Looking for any information about Sugrues (or any of the alternative spellings!) in the Northern Iveragh Penninsula. I know that my great great grandfather Michael Sugrue was born in the area in 1822 and married Katherine Moriarty in about 1850. They had a daughter named Bridget in about 1854 and the three of them emigrated to the US shortly after her birth. They ended up in Rhode Island, where Bridget died a few years later, but siblings Mary Ann, Katherine, Michael and Dennis survived. Mary Ann was my great grandmother. We were always told that her family came from Kerry and recent DNA tests seems to confirm this, identifying the northern Iveragh Penninsula as the source of much of my ancestry. Would love to find out anytig more about Sugrues still in the area and, of course, anything anyone might now about Michael and his family.

Thanks!
