5.0 out of 5 stars A Really Good Book for Research, June 21, 1999

By A Customer

This Book was really helpful. It included census information and actual specific locations of families, and it included more families than any other source I have ever seen on County Kerry. Nothing else has this scope so it is the first book I go to for Kerry info...not another coffee table book, great for those who really want information.

By A Customer

This book is the first one I go for when looking for info on Kerry families....I found 4 families the first time I read through it...If you really want some info about Kerry families that you cannot find elsewhere - this is it. Much more than a how to book - I love all the extra information !

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed, October 2, 2003

By	Amazon.com customer (Kansas City) - See all my reviews

Just what I needed- even got some info on TRALEE and early settlement. Some names had a lot of info included just on one family. Other families are just given with a location and date!
