Hi, Bill I believe Lady Julia McCarthy was Donal Cam OSullivan Bere's great grandmother-at least according to this site: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=aaronmarshel1740&id=I701 I have read Morgan Llewelyn's book but do not recall this name in the march-probably too old ?

Hi Teresa, all, It's a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing it with us. My understanding is that the McCarthys were once lords in Beara on the scale of the O'Sullivans. Whenever I hear Julie McCarthy reporting on National Public Radio, I smile at the thought of what a distinguished name she bears. I think there was a Julia McCarthy who made the great march with Donal Cam O'Sullivan Bere back in 1602. Anyone know the details? -- Bill

Thanks for sharing this GREAT story! It provides much inspiration and renewed hope for those of us who still do not know where in Ireland our ancestors originated. Perhaps, just perhaps, some day one of us will experience a similar happening. -----Original Message----- From: DSull88075 <[email protected]> To: beara-l <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, Mar 3, 2013 10:42 am Subject: [BEARA] MCCARTHY Bill, this is not really about Beara and so you can toss it if you want. While going thru railroad contracts for Irish in Nebraska, I came across a contract for Charlie McCarthy. Knowing it was a neat name, I posted the info on the McCarthy rootsweb site. He was born in Bantry, lived in a town in Wisconsin before moving to Nebraska. Months later I got a hit from a lady in New York and she said that that might be her great uncle Charles who had disappeared after the Civil War. I sent a copy of it to her and she matched it with his signature when he enlisted and this was surely her great Uncle Charles. Her grandfather had also lived in the Wisconsin town and she was delighted to know that the family had come from Bantry as she had no idea where in Ireland they had originated. Her husband had promised her that if she ever knew where they were from, he would take her to Ireland. So on the plane, his seat mate asked where they were headed and he said Bantry. "Why Bantry" "Well, my wife just found out her McCarthy family came from Bantry and we are going over to see the McCarthy's" The lady said that they wouldn't have to go far because her mother was a McCarthy and was on the plane as she was going over to Bantry for her sister's birthday. The lady and her husband were invited to join them on the trip to Bantry. Well, she never found out exactly which McCarthy she was from because the parish priest said "the McCarthy's were just like rabbits".

Frank, There was a Cornelius Hogan living in Allihies in 1823. It was a rare name there at that time, unless of course that he may have been working in the copper mines, or perhaps a lighthouse keeper. And what do you think was the name of his wife but Mary O'Sullivan. Now could you get a Beara wife more aptly named. They had a son Cornelius born there ---- but of him there was no further trace in the Allihies Parish. In or around 60 years ago there was a Mary Hogan living in the west end of Castletownbere. She had settled in her parents home and was married to a man by the name of Cornelius (or Nealie or Connie) O'Brien. It was thought that she was a slightly-built woman, and that she used do home help for people. She had a brother Hugh who was older than she was, but who settled somewhere in England. Their father Patrick Hogan came to Castletownbere from Chatham in England, but Patrick's father Hugh was a native of Scarriff in County Clare. After coming from Chatham, Patrick married Mariah (or Mary) Hanley of Toormore, which is towards the hillside to the west of the town of Castletownbere. Mariah's father was Robert Hanley and her mother was Mary O'Dwyer. There was also a Hogan family living in Adrigole. As far as I can remember, their father was a Vet. But my records have emigrated to NEHGS in Boston, and my memory isn't as good as it was years ago. Well, I suppose you could say that it has lasted a fair length of time. The one thing that I am a little uneasy about is that I may be surrounded in the next life by about a hundred battalions of women looking for revenge for giving away their ages !! ---- Riobard.

Riobard, thanks for that information However my Hogans are from Clare. I can trace that line back a number of generations. They were always of Clare. Of course, the main line was through the parternal line. i can find GGGGF and GGGGM in the 1700s in Clare. I have not tried to trace all the siblings from each generation. But I have been successful with all the Hogan siblings of my GM. The cousins of whom I mention are Shannons. I have met my father's first cousin, Mary Shannon, nee Hogan, who is not deceased. She had several children, two of whom still live in Ballyvaskin, They are JP (John) and Michael Shannon. JP is a bachelor. Michael is married with three children, one of whom still lives in Ballyvaskin. My interest in Beara is the Sullivan side of my family. I know that my GGF (Cornelius) was born in Cork in 1851. I'd like to think he was from Beara, but he married a gal from Kerry. I think at that time the distance from Beara to Kerry probably was too far for romance. Francis J (my GF) was born in 1876 in Wales. I have no reason to believe he was the first born because of his name. If he were the first born, his name probably would have been Cornelius of Michael (my GGGF), don't you think. A long story. I did contact you earlier about the name Kenlarnee because Cornelius' naturalization papers site Kenlarnee County Cork as his birth place. You indicated at that time, there was no such town (townland?) in Cork with that name and suggested it might have been Killarney. A deadend here. So, I am still searching for my Sullivans in Cork. l am also searching for the Riordan line in Kerry. I have not been very diligent in that quest. But, I have renewed interest after receiving the email yesterday from ? (I have lost her name. I am afraid that is I search for it I will lose my letter to you.) So, thanks for responding. My wife and I intend to visit Ireland this summer If we do, I will make certain to get to Beara and attempt to visit you.

Dear friends of Beara, I've created another post about genealogy and degrees of kindred, with a chart for your convenience. It's at http://bearaschildren.blogspot.com/2013/02/what-do-we-mean-by-first-and-second.html This was inspired by references to people being "first and second cousins" in some of Riobard's stories. He and I have spent the last few days discussing it, in between his more pressing duties. I hope I've got the details right in the chart now. In any case, I've tried to explain things and I hope it's a bit clearer than mud to you all. Go have a look, and let me know what you think. -- Bill

Thank you, Bill! I have enjoyed seeing the pictures very much!

- I need to add my thanks for Riobard's stories I read them with a great deal of interest. Every two years, my wife and I journey to Ireland to visit friends and family. I continue to chase my Sullivan ancestors but without much success. My grandmother, Hogan, always talked about the "Corkonians" so I assume that my grandfather's family came from Cork. He was born in Wales, but his father, my greatgrandfather was born in Ireland So, we go to Cork and the Beara peninsula each time, and enjoy the scenery there. Our favorite place is Allihies. - Frank Sullivan, Denver On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 9:09 PM, Meg Cech <[email protected]> wrote: > One more thank you to Riobard and Bill, > I love reading every story and passing along many to my twenty year old > children hoping they learn about their amazing family and the great Irish. > Riobard you are a wealth of information and I hope someone in Ireland is > doing videos on your oral history.

Bill and John, Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful pictures of Beara. It was so enjoyable to view it from so many different angles.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to John & Bill. At my age, I'll never get to the Beara but these photos are such a glorious way to have a virtual visit.
