1. Not good news on the football front. [1]
Castletownbere didn't make it in the end of the Cork County Intermediate Football Championship final against Naomh Aban (Ballyvourney) in Skibbereen today. They played very badly in the first half and were led by one goal and five points (= eight points) to one point at half-time. After about ten minutes of the second half they were 1--8 (= 11 points) to 0-2 (= 2 points) behind. But then came a remarkable recovery with a goal from a penalty kick, followed by 3 points on the trot, and suddenly there were onl
2. The County Cup/Trophy for Glengarriff. [1]
Great news for people of Glengarriff ancestry, connections, & supporters. Today in Skibbereen Park Glengarriff won the Cork County Junior B Football Championship final on the score: Glengarriff 2 goals and 9 points (a total of 15 points), Randal Og (of Ballinacarriga ---- between Dunmanway and Clonakilty) 1 goal and 7 points (a total of 10 points). It was an excellent game. Randal Og led by a point (1-3 to 0-5) at half-time. The lead changed hands on a few occasions in the second half. Glengarriff got on to
3. Happy Thanksgiving Day to all. [1]
Best wishes for a lovely day to all on this special occasion. Riobard & Joan O'Dwyer.
4. Odd Quite interesting [1]
Hi I received this from a friend and thought it quite interesting. Hope it is okay to send to the list Peggyjayne Subject: Odd Today is an odd day, meaning that all of the digits are odd. 11-19-1999. The next odd day after that will be 1-1-3111 (well over a thousand years away), which we will never see. Days such as 4-13-89 have both even and odd digits, thus, it is neither odd nor even. The next even day will be 2-2-2000 (the first one since 8-28-0888). Now you have a reason to celebrate t
5. "Beara's Pictorial Past" [1]
This morning I was deluged with emails asking me about cost & to whom to write in order to get the new book "Beara's Pictorial Past" which has been compiled by the Beara Historical Society. I have been in touch with the Secretary, and the information I have for you is:- the overall cost (cost of book, packing, and postage surface mail, to the States) is $15 (U.S.); to send to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, get checks/cheques in U.S. dollars for the present as those currencies are inclined to fluctuate ver
6. The German Orchestra Conducter & the "Poc ar Buile". [1]
Guest Speaker at the Boston Beara Society Dinner next February will be the very well-known singer, and now retired schoolteacher, Sean O Se whose most famous song was the "POC AR BUILE" (the story of a mad or crazy puck goat that wreaked havoc through Co.Cork and finished up in Dingle, Co. Kerry, where the Parish Priest there thought that he surely must have been the reincarnation of the devil himself). Sean's father was from Adrigole in the Beara Peninsula, where his 1st cousin Morty O'Shea now lives, and
7. Beara Townland Structure [1]
A question for Riobard: On p. 117 in your book on Eyeries Parish, you have a paragraph on Mick O'Sullivan (Croumhane) and Mary Kelly (Bawers) -- my gggrandparents thru their daughter Mary. The first sentence reads: ". . . came from Gorth, Urhan, to Bawers during the Famine." At the beginning of the book you show a map of the townlands of the Eyeries Parish, and Gorth (80) and Urhan (82) are separate townlands. Is Gorth also the name of a larger unit of the county? I am trying to establish a place hiera
8. Beara maps [1]
Anyone know where I could buy a good, detailed, large-scale map of the Beara Peninsula which shows the townlands (and sub-townlands) and maybe even the boundaries of the Catholic Parishes? If there are significant differences between the current map and one, say, 100 or 150 years ago, then where might I buy a copy of the older one?? Thanks Tom
9. School [1]
Will someone please explain what Normal School and Community School is? Locally grades 1-6 are elementary school, 7-8 are middle school, 9-12 are high school. Are they the same in Ireland? Thanks, Pat

11. The drowning of the fishermen off Kilcatherine, Nov. 12th 1918. [1]
Today marks the 81st anniversary of the drowning of 5 men from the Eyeries Parish coming back from seine-fishing (night-fishing for mackerel) when a huge wave broke over a submerged rock outside Pointe Ranna off Kilcatherine and threw their boat into the air. They were Sean (a Choill) O'Sullivan of Caolrua, Jer (Murt) McCarthy of Faunkil, two Murphy brothers, John and Patie, from Ballycrovane, and my uncle Robert O'Dwyer of Caolrua. One man, Patie Healy of Faunkil, survived, but he didn't live for very long

The Boston Beara Society Dinner and Social Evening will take place next FEBRUARY 20th at the DEDHAM HILTON PLACE HOTEL, DEDHAM, from 2p.m to approx. 6.

16. Just a wee bit confused [1]
Hi all! Just a bit confused on where exactly the Beara Pen. is. My mother is a Harrington from Kenmare Kerry. Someone told me that there are parts of Kerry in the Peninsula. Is this true??? I'm still new at this! Thanks, Donna Kelly Donohue
17. Addendum to the 1918 drowning off Kilcatherine. [1]
Not long after my uncle Robert being drowned with the four other fishermen off Kilcatherine, my father (Liam), who was the next oldest boy to Robert in the family of 12, was just about going to sleep one night when he saw what looked like a little light coming from the door towards the bed. As the light came closer, my father could feel himself becoming more relaxed and peaceful. Then he heard Robert's voice saying to him not to be worried; that he (Robert) would always look after him and protect him. Then
18. Re: "Beara's Pictorial Past" [1]
I would agree with Kathleen, Riobard, that many of us would be interested in purchasing this book. My g-grandfather Jerry Hanley, from Garnish, died in Butte on October 2, 1909, after succumbing to diseases brought on from working in the mines there. His daughter, my grandmother Elizabeth Hanley Harrington (she married John Harrington of Cloughland, Bere Island), is alive and well in New York at the young age of 93!

19. RE: School [1]
Hi Pat, I don't know about the Community School, but in early Ohio, a Normal School was a school to train teachers. Several of my great aunts attended Normal school back in 1900-1915, none had gone beyond the 8th grade because there were no high schools in their area. After completing Normal School, most of them went on to teach at one-room schoolhouses where they were teaching the basics (reading, 'riting and 'rithmatic) to 1st through 8th graders.

20. "Charity begins at home"; Dan Kelly and the Pope. [1]
Today I had a Kelly family from Seattle, Washington State, here doing research on their ancestors, one of whom was Jim's ancestor Dan Kelly who lived to be 102 years of age. There is no doubt about it, but the Beara people in the olden days sure had no shortage of wit. Dan never needed glasses to read. He never drank a "drop". And he was never sick a day in his life until two days before he died. Anyhow, when the Parish Priest of Eyeries, Fr. O'Callaghan, had finished annointing him, he turned to Dan. "Good
21. Researching these names [1]
Hi, my name is Edel, and I am interested in the following families: Codd - Co. Wexford, particularly south county, 1170 to present, particularly the COI side of the family (I can get the RC info from my immediate family). Fardy - New Ross area, 1800's. Am especially interested in information on my gggrandfather, Matthew Fardy, who married Elizabeth POWER c 1858. I have little information on Matthew and none on Elizabeth. Also, any information on their children, Bridget (b 1860) and Patrick (b 1864) - p
22. Roll Call LILLIS-- MCAULIFFE [1]
I am looking for the parents of Edward/Edmund LILLIS. The family tradition says that they were from County Cork. On his death certificate it lists father as Pat LILLIS, Ireland and mother's name is not legible (but might be BRIAN ?) also born in Ireland. Edward was married to Susan MCAULIFFE on July 17, 1859 in Frankfort, Franklin Co., Kentucky, USA. On the bond and marriage return it names Mary Ryan as Susan's mother and the witnesses were Dennis GRIFFIN and Eliza RYAN. The family always attended the Ch

25. Re: Just a wee bit confused [1]
Yes, Kenmare is part of Beara--just. Beara is a peninsula projecting from the southwest corner of Ireland. It is part of both counties Cork and Kerry. It is bounded on the north by the Kenmare estuary and on the south by Bantry Bay. As you can guess from the name, Kenmare town is the main town at the Kerry end of the peninsula, as Glengarriff is the village at the Cork end. The peninsula is divided into northern and southern halves by the Caha and Slieve Miskish mountains, with a few passes in between.
