created by W.J. Mansfield, former contact [email protected]. It was
originally posted at

but Geocities shut down and the page could not be found on another
active Internet site. The Kerry site administrator decided to host
Mansfield's pages here because of its value to the genealogical
community. They were retrieved in February, 2010 from
web.archive.org/web/20050509215938/www.geocities.com/Athens/Ithaca/7974/Ballyferriter/
and edited to Kerry website format and information already on the Kerry
site. Some original sections are not included.

This is a survey of the distribution of surnames within the Catholic parish of Ballyferriter, County Kerry. The figures given are based on the results of a religious census which was taken by Father Casey in 1834 or 1835. This census, one of the few to survive, lists the heads of household living in each town and parish, as well as the number of males and females in each residence.
By assuming, for the purpose of estimation, that the persons within each residence have the same surname as the householder, one can make several general observations about the relative frequency and geographical distribution of each surname.
Under the previous assumption, here is the total number of persons of each surname within each parish:
