Hello, I thought I'd share an interesting tidbit for those of us who have been getting our records from irishgenealogy.ie. The release today of the registers from the NLI might be helpful to some. I wanted to see the actual register so I looked up my gg grandmother's baptism in 1879. The page had an unrecorded birth that was of interest but more importantly 2 Baptisms had notations for the marriage of the infant. The marriages are after what irishgenealogy.ie has online. Somebody might find a new fact for a cousin or ancestor. Helen

Just tried looking at records and am not finding the toolbar that they say should allow magnification. Help!?

Bill, all, I'm in and it's amazing, they have done a wonderful job. I was in at 8:10 East Coast time but it's really slowing down now as more folks try it out. I was looking in the 1700's in Shanrahan Parish Tipperary so I don't know if Kerry is as good. I like what I've seen thus far. I'm no Latin scholar, I think it's fairly easy to understand. I'm hoping to catch a few Kerry folk that may have been missed or transcribed incorrectly. It's free and they've done a great job with the site so I'm grateful and happy that at last I can research at my leisure in the comfort of my own home!

>From today's Irish Genealogy News: Volunteers transcribe 1915 Merchant Navy Crew Lists A brand new website launched last week that will be of interest to those whose ancestors were sailors and worked in the Merchant Navy. The site - 1915CrewLists.rmg.co.uk - holds indexed transcriptions of crew lists and agreements from the British Merchant Navy for 1915, the year after WW1 had started. It's free to access, holds details of several thousand men born in Ireland, and has been placed online with the co-operation of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London. The transription and indexing work was carried out by volunteers. Crew Lists were written up by the ship's masters at the end of each trip. Only the voyages that ended in 1915 are included in this collection. More at http://www.irishgenealogynews.com/2015/07/volunteer-project-results-in-1915. html Given the number of Beara men who served in the Merchant Navy, I suspect this will prove useful to more than a few of us.

With so many Beara ancestors involved with fishing the North Atlantic, this announcement from the Irish Times may be of interest to list members. Some of my Murphy's were from Reentrisk near Cod's Head. For a charming self-portrait of one of today's fishermen, I recommend this YouTube piece on Pat Murphy of Castletownbere -- https://www.youtube.coBem/watch?v=42N3a2fqnrM <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42N3a2fqnrM> >From the Irish Times of June 30, 2015 A research project into the history of Irish fisheries will look at records dating back as far as 1400 and has the potential to inform us about the history of globalisation, climate change and the environment. Funding from the European Research Council worth €2.5 million over five years will support the project, which is headed up by Prof Poul Holm, professor of environmental history at Trinity College Dublin (TCD). Prof Holm is the only recipient in Ireland of an advanced grant award from the council in its current allocation. The funding comes via the EU’s Horizon 2020 research budget. This round saw 190 leading researchers receive a combined €445 million in funding. Prof Holm’s project, North Atlantic Fisheries: An Environmental History, 1400-1700, will bring together hard information about what life was like for coastal communities around the North Atlantic during that period. He will look at old records or ships’ logs for information on fish stocks, the level of fish extraction, what prices were like and how countries and regions developed their own strategies for exploiting the rich Atlantic waters. One focus will be on the “fish revolution” of the 1500s and 1600s. Prof Holm said that this “revolution” reshaped alignments in economic power, demography and politics, in effect triggering an early globalisation of the North Atlantic. The professor will also study marine environmental history and the impact that this would have had on communities as they made a living from the Atlantic. Prof Holm said that knowing more about past fish stocks, who controlled the fishing grounds and how the climate varied at the time would help modellers to understand the long-term variability of stocks. “It will also provide us with a much better historical understanding of the creation of the North Atlantic world. “In recent years we have all been affected by the impact of globalisation, climate change and threats of unemployment and social upheaval. It is important to know how people in the past responded to the same forces.” Originally from Aalborg in Denmark, Prof Holm completed a Masters in Ireland and served in a number of Danish universities before moving to TCD in 2008. He was congratulated by TCD provost Dr Patrick Prendergast for being the only local recipient of the council’s advanced grant and for receiving the maximum amount available under it. James P. Murphy.

Dear Theresa, St. Mary's was the old Castletownbere/Foildarrig Cemetery in the North Road. On the other side of the road, but higher up, is the St. Finian's Cemetery. Jerome Harrington's family, on the hillside in Bawers are the oldest family in Bawers, a townland in the Parish of Eyeries, Beara Peninsula, Co. Cork. Jerome's greatgrandfather, Jack, was one of three brothers who settled in Bawers originally. Jerome himself, one of 15 children, and the only one left in the sheep farm now, is uncle of one of the world's famed golfers, Padraig Harrington. Very best wishes, Riobard (O'Dwyer).

Friends at Beara list, Today I got a marvelous letter from our Harrington relatives in Bawrs (thank you Jerome and Moira). And I finally know that our Jack and Catherine Harrington and other are buried in the old graveyard on North Rd. in Castletownbere. Now looking online, I'm seeing a Castletown Berehaven (St. Finian's) and Foildarrig Lower Cemetery. Can anyone let me know which one of these it is? And never stop asking questions. Just wish I could ask about my Jeremiah and Mary Harrington Murphy, but that might take a seance.

I should perhaps send this to the Cork list but this one seems more active at the moment. I have been researching Mahony/ O'Neil ancestors in Lislee/ Cullenagh area and have come across two names that I wonder about. Using Irishgenealogy I find Sheehy, probably related to my 3rd gr grandmother, Ellen Mahony, and Harr(or Hart), probably her mother. I can't find other people by those names and wonder if the names "are" something else? (this gr grandmother is a Skimillihane.). Any thoughts? Sue

Never offer advice while still awake at 2am when you only slept 3-4 hrs the night before! That should have been irishgenealogy.ie The records cover Kerry and portions of Cork as well as some for Dublin and Carlow Slán, Marge in Southern California Searching: Golden, Sullivan, Kelly, Shea, in Kerry and Connecticut O'Connor in Kerry Fee, Cassidy, Gilbride in Fermanagh, Cavan, Kildare and Connecticut Lynch in Limerick and Connecticut Walsh, Stackpole, Garry/Garrey/McGarrey, Donovan, Doyle, Clowney/Clooney, King in Kildare On Thu, Jun 25, 2015 at 11:31 PM, Marge Rossini <kerrykuzzin@dslextreme.com> wrote: > Yes, and I was not thinking!

Good advice from Marge . I spent days looking for Sullivans on the Beara peninsula one time and found nothing, The Irish records before 1864 are all church records and even then are missing a lot  and  go back to about 1818 or so,You need to find all you can here first. Also, the book BERE ISLAND, A Short History by Ted O'Sullivan has lots of good information as well as the books of Riobard O' Dwyer. Also,visit the  mining museum in Allihies and eat seafood at Murphy's in Castletown Bere.

The National Library Ireland is due to put all of their church records online on 8 July 2015. If you have the time, I would suggest looking at those before you leave so that your time in Ireland is more useful - finding what you cannot find from here or just enjoying more of the scenery and local people.

Bere Island also has its own website www.bereisland.net for first hand information !! Also, I'm not sure but I think most records are kept by the local catholic church, so I'd check that before making a detour to Cork. The priest in Castletown Bere will be able to help you with that.
