Hello Alanna:  IT WAS A WRONG SPELLING!!!  See change!!!

Would you "Please" forward this email to a "Steve" at "" -- I can't get it to go through to him because it is too long of an email address, thank you.  He has written to "You" recently about "Irish Men" not having "Martin" for their 1st name.

Hello Steve:
I have rec'd your 2/3/2009 at 8:52:08 Pm.  I have rec'd this email of yours because I am subscribed to the Irish-in-Philadelpia Website as you are.  "My Very 1st Kier Ancestors were Andrew and Mary Mathis Kier".  They came to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania back in "1785" from Ballymoney, County of Antrim in Norhern Ireland with their "5" Adult Children. 

In this email of yours to a Woman named "Alanna", you have written at the "bottom of your email", -- "Martin" is not a very common name for an Irish Man.  This is "Not True" -- I have a 455 Page Kier Genealogy Book on "9 to 10" Generations of "My Very 1st Kier Ancestors named Andrew and Mary Mathis Kier.  I am already making a "New Kier Book" and so far it has over 600 Pages in it.

We have a "Martin" B. Kier", a "Martin" G. Kier, and "9" Samuel "Martin" Kier Men.  Usually all the Men who are named with the "first name" of Samuel -- are always named after their Father's with the "middle" name of "Martin".

I thought that I might mention this to you.  I have been searching for all of "Our Kiers and their Sunames" for almost "8" years now and getting quite lucky in doing such.  I am from the "6th Generation of them, "My Mother" is from the "5th Generation of them.

I have been trying to find out the "Name of the Ship and its Manifest" on which they arrived in Philadelphia.  Would you might know "which Port", Belfast or Protrush that they might have sailed from in Ballymoney, Northern Ireland in order to come to Philadelphia at that time???  Or would they have left from another "Port" close by???  I would "Greatly Appreciate" any help you can give me on this.  Thank you very much in advance, Shirley
