Re: Minimum age for Godparents
I was 16 when my brother asked me to be his daughters godfather. It was too young! I felt obligated to say yes, but also knew I wouldn't fulfil the responsibilities. To this day my brother hasn't forgiven me for not "acting like" her godfather. We get along fine, but when her name comes up, he gives...

Re: Kane and Keane
I have looked for other spellings also. Like Cane, Cain and such. I know they are less likely and usually more English than Irish, but you never know if you might find a random link. From what I have found, the Keane's left Co Clare in the mid to late 1800's. Anyhow, my Kane's appeared to have. Neve...

Re: Keane in Creegh
So, "Kree Parish" would refer to the church kind of parish, not the governmental unit that is a part of a county? What is the difference between a Parish Kilmacduane and Cree Parish? Am I mistaken to say the Kree (from an obituary), Cree (from a roadside picture my uncle took when he visited there, ...

Keane in Creegh
I have been trying to trace my family and am stuck in Co Clare. I am making the jump that Kane was the Americanized spelling of Keane. My GGGrandfathrs Obituary said he was from Co Clare and the parish of Kree. After talking to a few people, I think it must be the Parish of Kilmacduane and the Townl...
