My Great Great Grandmother (Elizabeth Sullivan B:1847) and Grandfather (William Hanifin)were both from Tralee, I think. 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 & Timothy) in Co. Kerry and William Hanifin, (B: 1837 in Lateeve Beg, Co. Kerry). His siblings were Mary, Patrick, Timothy, & 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.

MemberMy grandfather Thomas Hanifin came from Ireland with his mother and father and settled in Weymouth Mass.I remember seeing a picture of a family that my grandmother Florence said was my family from California.Rumor has it there is also a proper spelling issue of the Hanifin name with us also.They say the two brothers came over and landed in weymouth ma and they fought over a girl that divided the brothership and they decided to spell their names differently as to show they were no longer family.Pretty sad.I wonder if my grandmother was the girl.
