Well blow me over with a feather. I thought Dooneen was sort of mythical, like Glaucamora or Brigadoon (are they???). Never knew it was for real. I also thought it was one of those Bing Crosbyish songs we were not supposed to like although I do like them. My ancestors on my father's father's side are from I believe the westernmost part of the Kingdom of Kerry in Ballyferriter, Dingle. How close would that be? I hope to get to Ireland this very year with an exact destination for once....mg
