Bonnie: Is their any family stories about a Harrington man that had received 144-piece set of Haviland China (Rose pattern with gold edging, I have the exact pattern and serial numbers, if needed). I seem to remember that it was given to him upon his retirement from the Queen's guard. Could that be the same as the "Grenadier Guard" you spoke about in your inquire? The story goes onto tells of some of our relatives came be live Wales / England, Their young relatives immigrated through the state of Virgina.

Hallo I am looking for information on Goodwins probably in the Beara area. I have a birth cert for a Teresa Bridget Goodwin b.Oct 8 1875 Parents Andrew Goodwin and Teresa Somers Goodwin. The birth place was Boloughbee (Ballaghboy) and Andrew Goodwin was Lighthouse Keeper in Dursey Sound. The Goodwins I am looking for were most likely RC. and I wonder what parish would have records for Ballaghboy.Would welcome any advice.

"cliamhain isteach". Cliamhain = a son-in-law. isteach = coming or going in. A man going in as a son -in- law to his wife's parents. When there was no son left, or no son available to take over the farm, a "match" was made with a neighbouring man to marry the girl and come in as a son-in-law to her parents in her farm. ---- Riobard. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Jfloe@aol.com> To: <Beara-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 3:58 AM Subject: [BEARA] Question for Riobard > Dear Riobard, > > What does " cliamhain isteach" mean?

Hi The understanding I had was that when a man marries he goes to live at his new wife's family home but I'm sure Riobard will explain more.

All, As I understand from my correspondence with Riobard, the term refers to a man who marries into his wife's family, typically in the case where his wife's family has no sons of its own. For pronunciation see the following. ----- Forwarded from beararesearchodwyer@eircom.net ----- Cliamhain isteach --- the pronunciation is like " cleen isht ach". -- Bill

Hi Joan, I looked it up in my Irish dictionary - cliamhain means son-in-law and isteach refers to inward or incoming so John's recall looks accurate!

Hi Cath, Yesterday, I sent a reply to you directly regarding your email message. Did it come through to you? Your email search message, has looks like the best thing my group of relatives has seen for many a year! I have been watching for a search message to be transmitted to our list group list for many years. I think that our group might be the one for you! We just have to figure out how it all fits... I sent some brief information to you. Some of our group members have been looking for this connection for over twenty years but no such luck till now we are hoping... We could never find Jeremiah Harrington (Sr.) parent or branch name. The reason for some of the troubles are that almost all the church records were burned in about 1825. One of their children was born in Castletownbere and other nearby. Jeremiah Jr. had 11 children. The famous and by far the most knowledge genealogist for the Beara Peninsula area is Riobard O'Dwyer (with Harrington ties-ins too). He has try on several occurrences very hard to help us find our Beara connection, but no luck. Are you aware of how many Jeremiah Harrington have live in his area of interest; many, many! It is like Bob Smith in the USA. Jeremiah Sr. wife was Margaret Murphy from Eyeries. She was buried on the border town of New Diggens by her children , but NO Jeremiah Sr. to be found near by. The idea that Jeremiah Sr. might have been an orphaned, is very interesting! And there is more then twenty years of research here. Our USA tree probably have more then 500 individuals in it. Hear from you soon... Waiting for your reply...

Hello All, I have not heard much chatter about attending the event tomorrow. Hope to see some of my previous year event friend there. Sandra M. Cummings (Harrington FLOR)

Hi Cath, I have a line from John Morris Harrington, born 1866 in Dowlais, to Timothy Harrington and Mary Margaret Donovan Harrington. Timothy was born circa 1840 in Cork. Based on the children I'm guessing they were married about 1855, with first known child born 1856 in Merthyr Tidfil, Wales. Back to John - he married my GGM's sister, Margaret Parker 1889 in Fulham, MDX outside London. John was a Grenadier Guard, and had been in the Welsh Boarder Guard. By 1898 the family immigraded to Pennsylvania, where I am still in touch with John's GGdaughter. Should any of this sound familiar, I have more to share. BTW, Harrington is the second most common name in Beara area, so could be a needle in the haystack.
