Are there any records in Kerry regarding evictions of families by family surname in the area of Killarney and/or if they went to a workhouse? Also, how long were the workhouses in operation? I'm looking for the period of 1840-1850 or so.

Hi Pegeen44:
You might be interested in reading the IrelandXO Building Profiles about Workhouses here:
https://irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/buildings-databa…
The workhouses listed in County Kerry are contained in the above link with a general history about each particular workhouse.
Within those links, Killarney Workhouse has links whereby you may be able to access minutes associated with the running of the workhouse at this link: http://www.workhouses.org.uk/Killarney/
If you have an Ancestor that was in the workhouse, please consider adding them to the Ancestor Profiles under the XOChronicles feature at the top of this page.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Kind regards,
Jane
