Hi, Karen,
My ggmother Maria (Birthisel) Kinsella was born in Wicklow in 1849 and emigrated to Texas after the death of her husband, Thomas Kinsella. I have lost touch with the Dallas Kinsellas and would be very interested in any information you have about the origin in Ireland of the Birthisels. I am told that the name is Huguenot but I have never seen anything resembling it in the internet lists of Huguenot names. ?? Any thoughts on family origins would be welcome. Cheers and thanks
