My heritage similar but one step closer.

Nice to get your observation. Places Great Grandfather lived in Ireland were Skibbereen, (sp) Ventry, Sherkin, Baltimore, Long Island. Last two actual Irish name places.
Vital records so valuable to my research destroyed. This was in the Easter Rebellion 1916. The splendid building in Dublin with the records was fired on by howitzers. This to evict rebellious Irish. It burnt down. Later, an uneasy truce was declared between the two groups.
