Dear friends of Beara, All the interest in Teresa Sullivan's "Small Book About Beara" prompted me to write up a blog post for the Beara's Children blog, with links to some old books I've found in the past that have proven helpful in my own genealogical efforts. The post is up at http://bearaschildren.blogspot.com/2013/02/books-about-beara-available-online.html You'll have to go to that link if you want the live links to the books themselves. Here's the text of it: There are several historical books, many long out of print, about the Beara peninsula and its people. Here are links to a few of these available online: Bantry, Berehaven and the O'Sullivan Sept by Timothy Daniel Sullivan, published by Sealy, Bryers & Walker, 1908 Irish Names and Surnames by Patrick Woulfe, published by M.H. Gill and son, 1906 Irish Pedigrees, or The Origin and Stem of the Irish Race by John O'Hart, published by J. Duffy and Company, 1892 Also, for those interested in something a bit more up to date, there's At the Edge of Ireland, Seasons on the Beara Peninsula by David Yeadon, published 2009. It will cost you $9.78 (USD). Here's a bit about it: On the Beara Peninsula of southwest Ireland, the Yeadons discovered their own "little lost world," an enticing Brigadoon of soaring mountain ranges and spectacular coastal scenery, far removed from the touristic hullabaloo of Dublin, Killarney, and the Ring of Kerry. Here is the fabled "Old Ireland," alive and well with music seisuins, hooley dances, and seanachai storytellers?a haven for searchers, healers, artists, and poets hardy enough to have braved the same narrow and winding mountain roads that keep the package-tour coaches out. Bursting with color and life, At the Edge of Ireland is an intrepid wanderer's celebration of a magical, unspoiled, and unforgettable Éire. You can get all of these on your web enabled computer, pad, smartphone, e-reader, etc... Just the thing to read on those long flights when you don't want to look at the overpriced things in the airline's magazine. [End quoted text] Also, if any of you have e-books that you'd like to make available to the community, I can host them and provide links on the blog, as long as I can legally do so. (No wish to infringe on copyright here.) Just let me know. -- Bill

With all of the responses, perhaps it would be a good idea to just post it here and let anyone who wants it to download it. I suppose Bill would have to OK that.

*Sorry for putting to the trouble those of you who dropped me a line. Many, many, thanks for being so kind with your words of appreciation for my efforts. Must have been the snow that may have been the cause of making me wonder as to whether you may or may not have received my previous correspondence. All's well that's well again. I had been wondering as to whether my "words of wisdom" (???) had taken the wrong turning and had gone astray.* *I know you won't mind if I take a bit of a rest in my old age* *now for a while before I inflict my "words of wisdom" (???) on you again*. *In the meantime there will, I hope, be many others better qualified to fill in the many gaps that may still remain for filling about lives and stories of the people who lived in Beara when there were no such things there as televisions, u-tubes, and all these modern inventions that one comes across now. Life was less pressurised and simple then. Old people had more time to light a pipe, chew a bit of tobacco, sit around the fire, sing an old song, play an ancient lament on the fiddle or a few jigs on the single-row "melodgion" and tell all about many, many stories that the Schoolmasters read out for them about what happened to their ancestors when they crossed the wide ocean to make a living in America and send a few dollars home to those left after them. Unfortunately, when many of those stories are left still to be told, they will probably be lost forever.* *Kind regards to all from Joan and myself.* * Riobard*.

Riobard, We have so enjoyed your stories and can understand if you would like a break. The stories broaden our understanding of the Beara and certainly give us details of the life past. I especially enjoy the Eyeries/Cahirkeem/Allihies ones. I forward many of your emails to my family not on the list and they enjoy them as well.Thank you for sharing, they are very important to us.
