Kerry is one of the Irish counties which has experienced a high level of emigration to North America and elsewhere. Common names in the county include O'Sullivan, O'Shea, Sheehan, O'Dohoghue or O'Donohoe, Cregan, O'Driscoll, Falvey, O'Connor, Moriarty, McCarthy, Kelleher or Kelliher, O'Connell, O'Mahoney, Fitzgerald, Cantillon, Stack, Hussey, Clifford and Fitzmaurice. In comparison with many Irish counties, it has fewer records of value to family historians. This makes it important to use the existing records to their best advantage.
