Hi Timothy
My name is Gary Rennison. I am a descendent of the Hartnetts. I am also a member in the LDS church maybe you and I can work together and find a common thread that connects us. My email is gary.rennison.gr@gmail.com. Email me anytime. I look forward to talking with you. I hope we can do this together. Thank you very much.

Hi All--  My son & I are planning a visit/tour to Ireland come 15 Sep 2017.  The tour covers the southern most part of Ireland from Dublin thru Killarney for a week.  We'll tour for a week, then stay another week.  This is the plan.  My focus on the 2nd week is to spent time at the RC Church in Glenflesk.  This is the church my Timothy Hartnett/Harnett and Ellen/Helen Cournane/Courtney's hail from.  The last known residence for this family was in Brewsterfield.  Catherine Hartnett married John Buckley in 1906 and had a daughter there in 1907 named Alice Buckley.  

   We'll probably spend 3-4 days in the Killarney/Brewsterfield area then maybe head up to Clare to visit my O'Connor homeland in Killadysert area...That's it for now, more later...  Tim Hartnett

Hello Tim.  I am from Killarney and have family near Brewesterfield.  Have a look at Ellen Cournane, Tullaha baptism 1828 in Glenflesk. Parents are John Cournane and Alice Connor.  

Catherine--  Thank you much.  I've been busy this past 2-1/2 years.  I will look into your reply.  It's entirely possible on Ellen Cournane in Glenflesk.  I apologize for my delayed response. Thank you so much.   Tim Hartnett

Hello Tim  -  just wanted to throw another name into the mix.  In the Griffith's Lists there is a John Counihan in Dromdiralough, now called Lough Guitane, farming next door to our g g grandfather, Edmond Spillane.  I think that Cournane and Counihan may be interchangeable.  The Spillanes married into the Counihan family in 1834.  Quite a few in and around Glenflesk.

Bridie--  Have you completed a DNA?  I haven't seen an alternative to Cournane as Counihan, but they have used Courtney.  I don't see any Spillane's.  The main church I have is Glenflesk RC.  Thanks much for getting back to me.

Catherine--  I was going to visit Ireland with my son back in 2017, but my son Jason had a relapse of his Brain Cancer, and for the next two years I took sole care of him until he passed in Aug 2019.  

FYI--  I'm trying to back to my research.  If anyone wants to correspond directly, my email is:  timhav8tor@gmail.com  It is probably easier this way.  Thanks to you all for responding to my queries.

 Roger--  Thank you for your reply and reference.

Gary-- Let's continue to work together on our Hartnett descendants.
