Hello,
I have recently found John McKearney's Declaration of Citizenship to the USA. In the document I found that he was born in "Glynn" in the county of Limerick in 1819. He migrated to St. John New Brunswick Canada in either the second day of May 1842 or on about the 26th day of June in 1842. He then went to Sidney Maine in the spring of 1843 and lived there until the spring of 1845 and then moved to the Portland Maine area in 1845. He built his house in Yarmouth Maine in 1847.
I cannot find a "Glynn" in Limerick. I have found:
1. Glen townland in Coonagh Barony, in Civil Parish Grean, in PLU Tipperary in County Limerick.
2. Glen townland in Clanwilliam Barony, in Cahernarry Civil Parish, in PLU Limerick in County Limerick.
3. Glen in Pallasgreen Parish in the Dioces of Cashel & Emly.
4. Glen in Donaghmore-Knockea Parish in Limerick Dioces.
5. Glin Town and Glin Demesne in Kilfergus Civil Parish in Limerick Diocese both in Shanid Barony in Glin PLU.

My problem is I do not know if "Glynn" refers to Glen or Glin. Any opinion would be welcomed!
Thanks! Liz Dow
