It would be a nice tribute to Finbar's memory if we could connect him. I had a quick look when I learned of his death last week but couldn't see any obvious connection path.
Finbar may have left us a clue in this 2015 comment at

"Thank you for editing Catherine Cronin's details. My gx3 grandfather Timothy Mahony married Margaret Cronin in Killarney in 1818. She gave her address as Ballycasheen, Killarney."
Catherine is Cronin-353 (and is connected) and Margaret is Cronin-351.
The record of Catherine's marriage (in the Established Church in 1852) at
https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1623/images/31280_197992-00088
identifies her father as John Cronin, a builder.
Margaret's marriage (in the Catholic Church) is at

churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie has Killarney baptisms back to 1785.
When Finbar and I corresponded about a small DNA match back in 2016, he wrote:
"Perhaps I should expand the tree on wikitree ... I have a fuller tree on www.genesreunited.co.uk."
Finbar's triangulated DNA matches with several of my cousins suggest that he was related to my GGGgrandfather Thomas Parker (Parker-41506) but we never got any further than that.
