Fieries, Co. Kerry, Ireland

I got this info from the online Kerry Church records (one of the few counties in Ireland to have this!). She was christened "Gobnet Sheahan" (YES! GOBNET! ... that was a variant of Abigail, as was Deborah, Debbie, Abbey, Gubbe). The sponsors were John Long (Abbie's grandfather or uncle) and Honora Burk. It doesn't say in the records what church it was, but most likely St. Gertrude's. The townland on the birth record is "Ballytrasna." Fieries is the Catholic parish.
