I add my thank you, Ed, for this most helpful post. Can you tell us how many years, typically, there were between the person's arrival date and the date of the naturalization papers? This would help those who have firm or approximate dates of arrival know in which year's records they should search. The answer will most likely be "it varies" but you have to start somewhere. My great-grandparents arrived, I think, about 1875 (Timothy Murphy of Reentrisk). James P. Murphy Stuart, Fla.

I have enjoyed this discussion of Beara ancestors in Fall River.I grew up there and have done a lot of research on both sides of my Father's family. Two Sullivan families, of course, but also Connollys and Hanleys. Many Beara folks also worked at the Portsmouth, RI   coal mines in the mid 1800's .This is between Newport and Fall River. When the mines closed, many families came to Fall River to get work in the cotton mills.When you walk through St. Patrick's Cemetery  you feel you are in Ireland with all the Beara names and placenames on the graves!

Friends at Beara, I look for records for initial papers near where they landed and then look three to five years later for the final papers in the place where they settled (at the nearest big city often). Example, my Muldoons came in through New York and Philadelphia, immediately went to Wheeling, Virginia. Original papers are in Wheeling, even though they lived in Pease Township, Ohio (also called West Wheeling). Final papers were filed in Missouri, where they emigrated to after suffering through the Civil War. It can take some creativity to find the papers, but it's worth looking. How much information is in them depends on the practices of the county. No one has found any listing of the place that they came from in Ireland, but I'm searching the most likely three counties.

I have a cousin who, with her mother, lived in Fall River ( I actually think MA, not RI?). Mother was Elizabeth Connor O' Neil and daughter was Mary Ellen. She was a nurse and remained unmarried. Since Elizabeth and Mary Ellen immigrated after her husband, Eugene/ Owen, died I have thought that they went there because she had other family there? I don't know that she was from Beara, but I don't really know that she didn't either.

It seems my James Sullivan, his wife, Mary Hanley and his two Ireland born children Eugene and Patrick were among the early arrivals in Fall River in the late 1820's. My research shows that many worked and lived for a time in Newport, RI at the Fort Adams construction site. Many Irish worked there. It is now a historic site. Some of the staff are doing research on the Irish immigrants who worked on the fort. They are starting to compile names using various sources including records of the early Catholic Church St. Joseph's (now St. Mary's) in Newport.

Ed, this is fascinating and important information. Well done. Keep posting your results, please. Quin Shea For those of you with Beara roots whose ancestors came to live in Fall River, Massachusetts, I say you have plenty of company. I spent a day at the Massachusetts archives in Boston last week and discovered a trove of Beara men. The archive has microfilmed the naturalization applications for the latter part of the 1800’s. The applications were only from men. The applicants listed their birthday, current address, day and place they came to the US, their age and the age they were when they immigrated. I spent a day going through the first films available from the 2nd District Court of Fall River. I covered only the years 1886 to 1890. The results were astounding to me. Although I did not keep track of the total number of applications I looked at during these four years I found 30 individuals who claimed the Beara as home. They noted their homes as Bearahaven, Bar Haven, Bear Haven, Castletownbere, Airies Cork, and many other variations, but from the Beara in any case. I did keep track of the number of some surnames in total and found for instance that 88% of the Sullivan applicants for those 4 years (17 total) were from the Beara. 80% (5 total) of all the Harringtons were from the Beara. All of the Leary’s (4) and all of the Shays/Sheas (4). There was also a Sheehan, Toomey and a Foley from the Beara. If you consider the percentages of surnames etc in the naturalization records represent a good sampling of the families in the city at this time, you have many Beara familes there. There were 574 Sullivans listed in the 1890 Fall River City Directory. We can estimate 505 of them were from the Beara. Harringtons, Sheas, Learys, Murphys, Toomey and more area living side by side in these old records, working in this center of the industrial revolution in textile manufacturing. I have been working with the census and immigration manifests to assemble these family groups. Next step will be to match them to their homes using Riobard’s work. Although tedious, with the records now available you can project that someday we will be able to make many connections from this popular center of 1800’s employment in Massachusetts back to the Beara in Ireland.

I believe my Gr Gr Grand Parents were Donal O'Sullivan and Catherine (nee Hanley) from Bofficil,Eyeries. Their daughter Mary O'Sullivan married James Driscoll ( Kilcatherine),my grgrandfather & son of Darby, - they emigrated to Boston c.1847 , returned c.1857.and again returned to Boston in July 1869 on the SS Malta with sons Michael & Jeremiah and Daughter Mary. I have a record of their intention to marry in Boston in 1848 but could not find any Marriage Certificate. I found a record of Jeremiah and Mary ( possibly twins ) Driscoll born in Lowell,Mass. In 1849 . There were other family members ( Patrick,Jack and Ellen) who later settled in Kilcatherine , Eyeries. Daughter Mary went to Butte and married ( Antony !) McCarthy. Jeremiah (My grandfather) subsequently returned to Eyeries and married Cait (Baoi) O'Leary ,Strand Road, Eyeries on 1st August 1889. John O'Driscoll (Dublin) *John*

No this one settled in Carmel Maine (near Bangor). There appears to be a group of Beara families that settled there Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 19, 2015, at 5:37 PM, "J.
