Guiheen of Ballynahow or Ballyickeen

KerryDingle or Daingean Uí Chúis in the Irish (Kerry)

Timothy Gahan/Guinee/Gaheen/Gehan, his wife Mary, and children Catherine born or baptized April 10, 1822; Jeremiah/Jerey/Jerry born or baptized August 20, 1828; Patrick born or baptized c 1831 left the Dingle area and moved to Nova Scotia, Canada we think in the 1830s. Timothy's father's name may have been Thomas.

Timothy Gehan would have been my great-great-great grandfather.

If there are any relatives in Ireland looking for this family, I would appreciate their contacting me.

Hi Ellen,

Thanks for your message.

Perhaps you could try also placing this message in a local forum in Dingle, so that if there are any family still in the area there may be a greater chance of them seeing it and making a connection?

Dingle Parish actually have their own website where you may be able to do this. Here is the link:

Here is a link to Dingle's online newspaper:

You could also try http://www.independent.ie/regionals/kerryman/

I hope these suggestions help you get in contact with any relatives that may be in the area.

Kind regards,
