1830 Baptism - Co Kerry, Ireland
« on: Tuesday 28 June 22 10:09 BST (UK) »
Hello All,
This is the baptism record for a 3 x g grand aunt/uncle, and it is difficult to read.
It is transcribed as Johanam Coffee, parents Dionysu Coffee and Maria Connor.  The parents are right. I'd like to know if anyone can read/translate the rest of the entry as well as confirm the child's first name.  I thought maybe it was John but all other such Johns have come up as Johannes.  Ancestry is giving me hints for a Hannah Coffee for this child.  As yet, I can't even confirm if this child is male or female.

Any help would be appreciated.

looks like latin for John to me, in the Killarney register at this time the first column is the child's name, it's also repeated after the priests name, Rev. R. McCarthy, the names in the last column (cut-off in this screen shot) are the sponsors. Under the priest and child names are the parents, and below them their place of residence

the full register page on the NLI site for reference

added : record is transcribed on IrishGenealogy

Thank you, athacliath. Looking at the transcription, they have it as Joanna, which would match the Ancestry hints of Hannah.

I appreciate your time.

I read father's name as Dionysii which is Latin form used for Den(n)is.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thank you for that, aghadowey. Would I be right in thinking that their address of GORTACALLOPHOE is Gortacallopa? it seems the only likely candidate on the townlands list.
