O'Leary Family Genealogy Forum
  
I am looking for any information on my great grandmother, Mary O'Leary (or Leary) and her parents, siblings, and children. Mary Leary married Michael Shea (farmer) in Barraduff, County Kerry, Ireland. In 1889, she gave birth to Mary Shea - my grandmother, who emigrated to Cambridge, MA in 1911. (There Mary Shea married William Quinn, also from Ireland.) The Barraduff in question (there are 3 in Kerry) is a townland between Killarney and Rathmore. I am interested in both Shea and Leary connections in the Barraduff, Rathmore, and Killarney areas of Kerry.
I know that Mary (O'Leary) Shea had more than one child, but do not know the names of the others - besides my grandmother, Mary Shea. I remember that my grandmother corresponded with family that remained in Ireland.
Other names that come up with regard to my grandmother are Reardon, Minehan, and Moynihan. I believe that they were all from the same area of Kerry.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am traveling to Ireland in the Fall. Thanks!
