Brien Family Cahirboshina

Hi Kathleen,

Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone with information on the family makes a connection with you.

In the meantime did you know that church records from County Kerry have been uploaded to http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ free of charge? Hopefully you will be able to find some new information there.

Another useful website is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what Catholic record are available in specific parishes. Kildrum civil parish is part of Dingle Catholic parish. To see what is available there follow this link:

Also, have you tried looking for records of the O?Brien?s in the land records pertaining to Ireland in the 19th century? There are two:

The Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1838) found at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp

and Griffith?s Valuation (1848-1864) found at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

Here are some websites you can go to to get information on emigration:

Hi Kathleen, just found this sight.

However, I have some great grandparents from this area, Not sure how many.

Michael Flaherty. Born 22 Nov  1840. per records from Roman Catholic parish of Dingle. His parents were John Flaherty and Johanna Brien. Their address was. also Caherboshina. Sponsors were Denis Brien and Johanna Johnstin (sp) I got this from the national archieves in Dublin about 3 years ago. Who knows we may have some distant realatives. Were told a lot of the records from Dingle were lost.

Hi Michael

Thank you for your message.  Would it be possible for you to contact me by e mail as I do not like posting private details in public?.  I was born in Caherboshina and I live in the area and I have some knowledge of the family.
