There are many branch-names of Murphys. BAWN = fair-haired. CUDEEN comes from an old Gaelic name for Cornelius. MAHEESH comes from a combination of two Gaelic words:- MAITH (silent "t") meaning good, and AOIS meaning age. Obviously the person around whom this branch-name originated lived to a great old age. BAOI originating from Dursey Island. ---- Riobard.

All those who were known in Beara as RINEYS brought that branch-name with them from the parish of Tuosist in nearby County Kerry, but they reverted to their surname O'NEILL when they emigrated to the States. There is the story of Mike Riney who was living in the townland of Cahirkeem in the western end of the Parish of Eyeries. Times were bad in the mining industry in Allihies around 1883, so Mike travelled to Ardgroom Village, sold his horse for £5 to make the price of his ticket to the States, and later became a Mine Superintendent in Butte, Montana. ----- Riobard.

Hi Stephanie, all, This is very odd. I get Riobard's messages, and I see them going into the mailing list archive. I'd recommend you (and anyone else with this problem) check your "spam trap" settings. Perhaps you could "whitelist" Riobard's e-mail address to make sure that anything from him gets to you. In the meantime, if anyone wants to look through the archive for Riobard's posts, take a look at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index?list=beara We have every post since August 1998 archived there. Anyone having difficulties with the Beara list is always welcome to contact me off-list about these matters. I'll do what I can to help you get the full benefit of the Beara mailing list.

Most of the Crowleys in the old Church records in Beara are entered with the above branch-name, and several with the branch-name only. Many came to Beara from around the Dunmanway area, and even some from as far away as Kinsale. Tradition has it that members of the branch of the Crowleys were on their way from the west of Ireland to help the Irish army in the Battle of Kinsale in 1601, but somewhere on the journey a heavy fog descended. It was difficult enough to move through the rough terrain of the time in good weather, but the foggy conditions made any reasonable travelling speed almost impossible, so much so that the battle was over by the time they arrived. CEO (pronounced KEOW) is the Gaelic for fog, hence the branch-name. Had the heavy fog not hindered them, and had they been able to arrive in time, the question stands "Would there have been a different result to the battle ?" My good friend Tom Crowley of Akron, Ohio, one of the top men now in the Officership of the Crowley Clan, feels that there would, as the Gaelic for Crowley is CRUALAOCH. CRUA = hardy, or tough. LAOCH = a warrior. ----- Riobard.

Hi,   Re Phil's question, I notice the same thing about my home county, Gogebic, in Michigan's UP in the 1880 data. I think in Gogebic County's case both of the following were true. 1. Records were not being collected in that county yet 2. There were not enough to count yet. Ironwood, Gogebic's, biggest town, began to take shape between 1880 and 1885. The iron mines began to be opened during that period.   Bill Sullivan --- On Wed, 3/11/09, Phil Brown <ppbrown@cox.net> wrote: From: Phil Brown <ppbrown@cox.net> Subject: Re: [BEARA] Interactive Map To: beara@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, March 11, 2009, 12:57 PM Very neat, though I'm surprised there aren't any Irish dots around Butte, MT.

Hi Audrie, I too am researching the same McCarthy line. I am lucky to have a copy of Riobard's Eyeries book which has helped me do most of my research. I discovered the following... Denny Rohane McCarthy was born in the USA. His parents Tade Rohane McCarthy(b. Dec 1857) & Kate (Cohu)O'Sullivan went first to Boston then to Butte, Montana. Their son Denny was born in the states & they returned to Croumhane when Denny was 10 years old. Denny later emigrated to Butte where he married Julia Harrington. Denny & Julia's last 3 children were born in Ireland so he was in Ireland for Irene's birth on Sept 6th 1914. Denny was a famous bonesetter like his father Tade Rohane McCarthy. I don't know the parents of Denis McCarthy or Nora Harrington(Croumhane) but Nora had a brother Donal(Gow)Harrington. I am trying to trace some McCarthy's too. They went to the States through Fall River... Tade's brother Dan McCarthy (Rohane)(Croumhane) b. about 1853 married Mary O'Sullivan. They had four children. 3 of them went to the States Denis McCarthy(Mar 9 1874), Dan McCarthy (May 6th 1876) & Mary McCarthy (Dec 20th 1879) If anybody knows anything about them too that would be brilliant !

Anyhow, back to the Papal "new dates" calendar. For example, the new Papal date for Easter was 10 days ahead of the date according to the old calendar. Some Harringtons in the Beara peninsula followed the old calendar. But other Harringtons there adopted the Papal calendar giving the new date for Easter. The Gaelic for Easter is CASC (pronounced CAWSK). These Harringtons were thereafter known as Harrington CASCA (in other words the Harringtons of the new Easter)), now known as Harrington CASKEY/CAUSKEY (pronounced CAWSKEY), and were often put into the old Baptismal records as such. Then there are other Harrington branch-names:- GREASAI (pronounced like greysee) is the Gaelic for a shoemaker; MERIGEACH is freckled; DUVE is dark-haired; GOW is a smith; TROKIRRE means merciful; STACK comes from a Harrington man who originally worked at the Stack in the Allihies Copper Mines, more or less the equivalent of the area of the Gallows Frames (or Head Frames) of the mines in Butte, Montana; TAILLIUR, a tailor; SLATER, a man to put slates on a roof, at a very important time when roofs were changing from thatch to slate; CAHERAGH were a branch of Harringtons said to have come to Beara from Caheragh, between Drimoleague and Skibbereen; DOCTORS had the gift of curing sick animals though not qualified as regards examinations;Caobach/Keabough means a black-backed seagull --- a strong-willed, dominant bird ---- the meaning must have been transferred to manly qualities; FOLEY, after a Foley woman from Urhan who married a Harrington man from Kilmacowen. There was a "nest" of Harringtons all over Kilmacowen, so this branch were thereafter known as the Foleys; SLASHER. This branch-name in Bere Island came from a famous island man known as Jack the Slasher who at one time held the U.S. record for the speed with which he slashed/drilled mine shafts in Arizona. ----- Riobard.

Just taking a little side diversion from Riobard's excellent coverage of the Harrington family branch names here... Riobard O'Dwyer <beararesearchodwyer@eircom.net> writes: > GOW is a smith; So it is. In the Manx gaelic (my father's side) it became Gaw -> Gawn -> Gawne. My understanding is that all the Manx families with this name trace back to Maelbridge Mac an Ghabbain (aka Maelbridge the son of the Smith) who was the armorer for the Kennedy family of Ormond back during the 12th century. I mention this here in the Beara list because my grandmother who grew up in Beara knew of some Manx people who'd come over to work in the mines. So the tidbit of information might be of some use to somebody else here. -- Bill

I gave birth to our only child, a much awaited and beloved son on 22 November last year, but he died only 26 days later of complications from congenital heart defects, on 18 December 2008. Each holiday, I leave a card for our son Thomas at the cemetery and I was hoping someone could help me improve my Irish in this message: We miss you, our little Irish laddie, Thomas. Beannachti' na fe'ile pa'draig. Tá grá agam duit. Gúna go deas, Mommy & Daddy I want it to say "We miss you, our little Irish laddie, Thomas. Happy St. Patrick's Day. We love you very much. Go with God, mommy and daddy." Thank you for any help. Susan Daily (I'm so sorry to have to share my sad news this way.
