Hi Ed,
My grandfather was Daniel Lyne who was born 25 May 1855 in Curravoola, Dromod Parish, Kerry.He was the son of James Lyne (1811-1866) and Mary Hegarty (1811-1867).James' brother Denis Lyne (1811-1881) also managed the same farm where that side of our family lives today.
In addition to the above, in the 1800s, there were Lyne families in Spunkane and Ballinskelligs.Griffith's Valuation gives a decent overview of where they were located.Later on, some families wound up in Cahirciveen.
I understood from a researcher in Tralee that many Lyne family members left Co. Cork for Co. Kerry after being on the losing side of the Battle of Kinsale in 1601/2.
