Scanlan/Scanlon families in Ballybunion area

KerryKillehenny (Kerry)

The obituary of my 2x great grandmother says she was born in Ballybunion, Co. Kerry Ireland in June 1835. Also says she immigrated to the United States with her parents, Mr and Mrs Edmund Scanlan in 1849, landing in Green Bay Wisconsin. The family moved to New Mexico, where Mary died in 1921. I will be traveling to Ireland in September and would like to meet with anyone who could help me with Scanlan family history.
