Hello Kym,

I have a bit of space here as I posted the second message here twice and have corrected the wrong one so that these messages are in the wrong order. It is proving to be one of those days. Would you like us to search for information about your ancestors in Co. Kerry.

Hello Kym,

No problem. Cars were carts drawn by horses. Examples, jaunting cars long cars and short cars. Here are several sites with pictures of jaunting cars.

If you have other queries, no matter how stupid they may seem to you, please post Kym. The Roots Chat members in Ireland will be delighted to assist. It is a pleasure to receive questions. Best Wishes, Chris
