You might take a look at Ballynameala graveyard online. I have photographed all the headstones and they can be found at www.historicgraves.ie the gravestones have yet to be transcribed online, but you will be able to read them.Eddie

I may be working on the same Kennedys.  The oldest name I'm certain of is Richard Kennedy of Rathmaiden.

Probably both a father before him and a son or grandson after named Morgan.

My last ancestor in Ireland was William Kennedy, who lived in Mayfield/Rocketcastle, and worked at Curraghmore.  He and his family emigrated to the US in 1880.

There is also a cluster of Kennedys in Mothel, Clonea-Power, and Rathgormack that Im pretty sure we arec related to as well.

If you have any info I might find useful, or if you want more details on the above, please let me know.
