Family Research

Hello Liam,

Welcome to Kilbehenny on IrelandReachingout.

Yes there are both Fitzgeralds and Noonans living around Boher.  I expect to be meeting Moss Fitzgerald within a week or so and I will ask him.

Check up Kilbehenny Old Graveyard on historicgraves.ie. I know that Moss Fitzgeralds family grave is at the eastern side, about 7-10 graves south from the corner of eastern gable of the church.

We have all the graves there transcribed and photographed.

Where are you writing from? Have you been to Kilbehenny at any time?

Conor

Keep in Touch.I'd be interested to know if there is any connection via Moss Fitzgerald

Hello Liam .

Conor told me you visited Kilbehenny /Ireland Reaching out . Your on the right track , all of them Fitzgerald's came from Boher - Coolatin , Moss Fitzgerald is my name and I believe we are far out related , Denis Fitzgerald owns that Farm and Old Farm House now , I will contact Denis and he should have more information .

Check our website ( kilbehenny . com ) and you will see photographs of Denis - Kathleen and there two boys helping out at our Community Garden prepairing the Potatos for the Kilbehenny Potato Festival .

We are having our Potato Festival this year August 13 - 19th as part of the Gathering so it would be great if you and your Family could pay a visit .

Regards for now .

Moss .
