Searching for living relatives of my great grandparents.

GalwayAnnagh (Kerry)Ballinvoher (Kerry)

Hi, I am interested in finding more information about my ancestors, and if possible, I would like to meet any living relatives who may still reside in Galway or Annascaul.

I will be in Ireland from June 7th to June 14th for one week.

Here is the information:

My great-grandmother was Ellen Barrett, who is from Tubber, Lispole, Galway, Ireland. She has 6 siblings. She died in 1905. Her husband was Timothy Curran. Any stories about her family, her sisters and her brothers would be appreciated.

My great-grandfather, Timothy Curran, was from Annascaul, Ireland. He had 4 sisters. I would love to meet any of his sisters' descendants and hear stories about the family.

Yvonne:

I assume Ellen and Timothy did not marry in Ireland. Do you know their parent's names? Do you have their approximate years of birth? How about names of their siblings?
