Nellie Moynahan'sTrip to Ireland and Scotland in 1908

My second great-aunt Nellie Moynahan (1865-1940) from Windsor, Ontario has always fascinated me growing up and when I heard that Nellie traveled to Ireland, England and Italy in 1908, I wanted to know more.

I am planning a trip to Ireland in 2019 with my brother an sister and we know that our Brennan and Moynahan ancestors came from County Kerry but we haven't located the exact towns in County Kerry. Did Nellie go to county Kerry? Did she visit any family there?

I was delighted to come across this 1939 news clipping recently from the Windsor Star. 

It made me think about the life of my great-aunt Nellie Moynahan (1865-1940) and her niece Mary whom she raised.
