Dear friends of Beara, This article just came in from Irish Genealogy News: --- Begin Cited Text --- Skibbereen Heritage Centre has uploaded some 2,350 burial register transcriptions for 16 West Cork graveyards (see names, locations and dates in table below) to its West Cork Graveyards Database. The information provided includes name, age and address of the deceased, dates of death and burial and, in some cases, occupation of the deceased. The registers were made available by Cork County Council, who are now responsible for each of the graveyards, and were transcribed by a small team of Skibbereen Heritage Centre volunteers. This upload almost doubles the size of the free-to-access database. It already held around 2,700 records collected as a result of surveys carried out in eleven local graveyards. The surveys involved photographing and transcribing the headstones, mapping the graves, and gathering any local knowledge of each graveyard and those buried within. The database holds the transcriptions and links to photos of the memorials. A further survey has recently been undertaken at Kilcoe (new) graveyard, and these records have also been uploaded to the database.

Joan & I have been honoured to receive a gift of Michael Dwyer's new book of poems. Michael has been the outstanding Officer, for many years, of the Beara Association, based in Boston ----- but known about in many parts of the world. A native of Inches in the Eyeries Parish at home in Beara, he has lived for years in Boston, and has lectured far and wide. I had the honour of teaching him while in Kilmacowen Primary School, and I must say that he was one of my brightest pupils ----- a young fellow of considerable talent, a talent which has lived on to the present day ---- and I hope for many years to come. God bless you, Michael, and also your lovely wife and family. From the "ould Master", Riobard (and also Joan, and the accordeon). Talking about the accordeon, I remember one day in Kilmacowen School, beside the fire, with my pupils enjoying the "crack", and I playing the accordeon with Irish jigs, reels, and hornpipes. I had my head down, playing with fire on my fingers hopping off the keyboard. When I looked up, there was the Schools' Inspector standing in the door, with a huge smile on his face. I was lucky ----- because he happened to be one of the lads with me in the Teachers' Training College in Drumcondra, Dublin. When school time was over, we spent the rest of the evening up on the hill overlooking the school, and showing him all the interesting Townlands and telling him about all the people who lived, and were living, there in the olden and present times. He and I went home happy. You know the old saying: "The Devil you know, is better than the Devil you don't know". I was lucky to have met the right "Devil" !! I'm sure that Mick won't mind me telling the story. Riobard.

My dear Riobard, Thank you always for the wonderful stories you tell us. I always love hearing about all of your experiences. I wish you and St. Joan a blessed Christmas season! Kathleen From: Riobard O' Dywer Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2015 2:04:37 PM Subject: [BEARA] Session in Butte in1994. A few days ago, while clearing out my old tapes, didn't I come across, in one of them, a 10 minutes long part of it which covered a rousing session of music I had in Butte, Montana. Just before Joan & I left Butte for Salt City, Utah, in 1994, I was helping in the making (with Fr. Sars ---- or Sarsfield ---- O'Sullivan) the film "From Beara to Butte". While Joan was out shopping down town, I went to visit John "the Yank" in the Virginia Apartments in Butte. There to meet me were the "Yank" and his nephew Tom Mulcahy. It was on Tuesday Oct. 4th 1994. Tom was after coming in from San Diego, California. The well-known and highly popular "Yank" in Butte would be 92 years old in March 1995. He was very fond of Irish traditional music, and had a very old single-row button accordion. Off went a terrific session. The "Yank" started off with a hornpipe on the accordion, and after that I joined him on my own accordion. Then the "Yank" took up an old fiddle that must have been nearly as old as himself, and started playing "Daisy". It went like this: "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, "Do". I'm half crazy ---- all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage, 'cause we can't afford a carriage. But, you'll look sweet going down the street, on a bicyle made for two". [How the people of the time loved that song]. Tom Mulcahy then took up his mouth-organ and gave us a rousing tune. Then the "Yank" started off, on his fiddle, the world-famous, especially among the American people, "Oh Danny Boy". It would bring tears to your eyes. We all joined in ---- the "Yank" and myself on our accordions, and Tom with his mouth-organ, and Tom and myself singing for all we were worth. We weren't up to the standard of the world-famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir, but we tried anyhow. We finished off the session with another hornpipe. It was a mighty session. As the old man at home used say: "Them were the days". Riobard.

A few days ago, while clearing out my old tapes, didn't I come across, in one of them, a 10 minutes long part of it which covered a rousing session of music I had in Butte, Montana. Just before Joan & I left Butte for Salt City, Utah, in 1994, I was helping in the making (with Fr. Sars ---- or Sarsfield ---- O'Sullivan) the film "From Beara to Butte". While Joan was out shopping down town, I went to visit John "the Yank" in the Virginia Apartments in Butte. There to meet me were the "Yank" and his nephew Tom Mulcahy. It was on Tuesday Oct. 4th 1994. Tom was after coming in from San Diego, California. The well-known and highly popular "Yank" in Butte would be 92 years old in March 1995. He was very fond of Irish traditional music, and had a very old single-row button accordion. Off went a terrific session. The "Yank" started off with a hornpipe on the accordion, and after that I joined him on my own accordion. Then the "Yank" took up an old fiddle that must have been nearly as old as himself, and started playing "Daisy". It went like this: "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, "Do". I'm half crazy ---- all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage, 'cause we can't afford a carriage. But, you'll look sweet going down the street, on a bicyle made for two". [How the people of the time loved that song]. Tom Mulcahy then took up his mouth-organ and gave us a rousing tune. Then the "Yank" started off, on his fiddle, the world-famous, especially among the American people, "Oh Danny Boy". It would bring tears to your eyes. We all joined in ---- the "Yank" and myself on our accordions, and Tom with his mouth-organ, and Tom and myself singing for all we were worth. We weren't up to the standard of the world-famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir, but we tried anyhow. We finished off the session with another hornpipe. It was a mighty session. As the old man at home used say: "Them were the days". Riobard.

For visitors trying to find out when Records can be found in the Parishes in Beara as from the various years, I will begin as follows:- BAPTISMS (plus BIRTHS from about 1860 on):- Castletownbere 1819; Allihies (including Dursey Island) 1822; Adrigole 1830; Eyeries (including Ardgroom) 1843; Glengarriff/Bonane 1846. Bere Island varies (sometimes the records can be found with the Castletownbere Parish). The Baptisms from 1823 to about 1843 are missing from Eyeries/Ardgroom Parish. MARRIAGES:- Castletownbere from 1819; Allihies (including Dursey Island) from 1823; Eyeries (including Ardgroom) from 1823; Adrigole from 1831; Glengarriff/Bonane from 1847. Sometimes the Bere Island ones are put in with Castletownbere Parish. Some pages in the 1930s in the Allihies Parish were obviously cut out with a scissors. When I say the various Parishes, there are several Townlands in each Parish, So, if the enquirer from the Rev. Parish Priest or the Rev. Canon, or in some cases the Rev, Ministers of various Churches, is enquiring about the Various Townlands (if they are known by the enquirer), they would make things alot easier for them.. I have an index to marriages, but when there are several people with the man/woman married to people of the same Christian names and Surnames, all you can do is to buy one or all of the Volumes from "Annals of Beara". I have nothing to do with the sellings of "Annals of Beara". They can be obtained from http://www.lulu.com/ I can hardly remember now what is in it. It took me practically 50 years of research work to do it ----- but all, or almost all, will still be there about our ancestors long after I have gone. I often wonder how in the name of God I was able to research all that, and then put it all down in my own handwriting. I'll just never know ------ but 'tis all there now to help many, many people. If not done, much of it ---- and the stories I gathered ---- would have been lost forever. Thanks be to God who let me survive that long so that all this would be saved. Riobard.
