I am looking for relatives that are still in County Kerry. My ancestry is so very important to me as it was to them. I have hit a wall in my genealogy search. I am trying to find some information on the deceased parents of both of them. I seemed to think that Eliz. Sullivan came to America,and the USA with someone, (maybe an aunt, Ellen O'Connor)? I think William's parents were Michael Hanifin and Catherine Leyne? This is where I have run into trouble finding anything on them. Elizabeth Sullivan (B:3/1847, brothers: James, Patrick &amp; Timothy) in Co. Kerry and William Hanifin, (B: 1837 in Lateeve Beg, Co. Kerry). His siblings were Mary, Patrick, Timothy, &amp; Daniel. Both Grandma and Grandpa Hanifin are buried in Calvary Roman Catholic Cemetary in Nashville, TN. USA. If anyone has any info on them, it would be greatly appreciated. </p> http://www.hanifin.net/forum/topic/hanafin-co-kerry-ardfert-ireland#post-35503 Sat, 26 Dec 2009 11:06:22 +0000 mauraerin 35503@http://www.hanifin.net/forum/ <p>My Grandmother, Hanora Christina Hanafin (Denison), daughter of Timothy Hanafin and Mary (Driscoll) had three brothers and a sister Timothy, Maurice, Michael and Mae.

To my knowledge they were born in Ronceverte, West Virginia. My father worked for the C&amp;O Railroad Company. I have a sister, Margaret Ann and a brother Patrick now deceased. I was told my grandfather came to the states from Ireland. His name was Patrick Terrance Hanifin. He married my grandmother. Her name was Lillian. After he died, Lillian married Elliet Kirby. Elliet had a son who was very highly ranked with C&amp;O Railroad. He was named after his father, who we called E.D or grandpa.
