A great great grandfather of mine came from around Kilcaskan, Bere Peninsula but joined the Coastguard in 1828. Consequently I know exactly where he was for the next 24 years including name of wife and birthdays of their children. As opposed to that, I just about have my paternal great grandfather's birth in around 1835 and nothing until his marriage in 1871.
The Kubeses can pretty much just be tracked by the land registry, fairly boring.
