I put this on the site in 2002 when I returned from a trip to Beara but am redoing it for those who were not around then. At the B and B where we stayed in Allihies, there was a small book about Beara and so when I got home, I wrote and asked the lady at the B and B if she would send it to me and I would type it and have it available if anyone should want a copy. I still have it on my computer and will gladly send it as an attachment to anyone who asks. The title is "Things I Have Seen". Teresa Sullivan Lincoln Ne

Teresa I would love a copy too. I appreciate everyone's participation on the Board i have benefitted from it beyond my dreams. I'm afraid i do not have any information to share but questions.

Same as everyone else, I read and enjoy all these stories but I hadn't picked up on the fact that there was a lack of reaction/thanks. Please accept mine and, if it's not too much of a burden, keep them coming.

Riobard, I know what you mean - I feel the same sometimes myself! I have put out a lot of info. hoping I would be able to find someone to help connect me with my own family, but perhaps I am in the wrong place too. I only wish there was a forum like this for other Irish locales! I have enjoyed all of your posts but admittedly am quite remiss in reading all lately, as I am busy raising to energetic boys. I hope you stay on. Happy Valentine's Day to you and your wife. Janet (Cummings/Sullivan) On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 6:52 PM, <beara-request@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Dearest Riobard and Bill, Just want to tell you I can not thank you enough for your stories and input on this list. I usually don’t respond as do not want to fill up your mailboxes and really don’t have anything to contribute at this time. Be sure to know how much you are appreciated!!!!!! You are the reason I keep at my genealogy! You have made it so much more than names and dates. Even the stories that aren't about my family, through them I can visualize what life was like for my ancestors at the time. You have made them real people not just names and dates. I really feel like I know them from your efforts! Thank you with all my heart, Terry Barnes -----Original Message----- From: Bill Gawne Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 8:26 AM To: beara@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BEARA] ??? Hello Riobard, and all, It's nice to see the outpouring of commentary in response to Riobard's wondering if anyone was reading his recent posts. I, for one, not only read them but also saved them away in my "Beara" folder for future reference. The thing I think Riobard was feeling, and I know it's something I sometimes feel too, is that we're talking to the wind. We do hope the wind carries our words to the ears (and eyes) of people who appreciate the information we provide, but a bit of acknowledgement from time to time helps to keep the conversation going. So, that said, I certainly appreciate Riobard's recent posts about the history of Beara. The posts about Ardgroom were not only informative, but they also addressed a question I've long wondered about myself -- the name of Kilcatherine church. The post about the siege of Dursey Island was just heartbreaking, and it provided a bit of insight into that hideous time, in 1604, when Donal Cam O'Sullivan Bere led his surviving followers out of Beara and up the west coast of Ireland in mid-winter. Do please help us to keep the conversations going here. Nobody is assigning grades. (Because the Dear knows Riobard would win hands down if it were a contest of scholarship.) We're gathered here as the far flung children of Beara. Share what you have, and let others who share know you appreciate the sharing.

In response to Riobard's query about activity on the list, the other night there was an email that appeared to list several of his stories but actually only one came through when I scrolled further down. I thought that was odd and that maybe it was my computer just misbehaving, but maybe there is more to it than that. Maybe there was something wrong with the way it was sent out?? I would hate to miss any of your stories Riobard. I don't post often, mostly read the list and if nothing applies I just move on. I don't have the time to research as if I'm not at work, then I'm probably at one of my kids' games or catching up on housework. Not enough hours in the day for me! Happy Valentines Day...

Riobard, your stories are so important to us! Unfortunately, none of my mother's family history was shared with me. I remember the day I was rummaging through the Butte archives and I was told,"You definitely need Riobard!" You found my grandfather's family in the blink of an eye and you made Jack Shea real for me. I've shared your stories with my children and with my grandchildren .In our case, you are sharing the history with three generations. And where from there???? Your stories and the reading matter your have suggested have been an invaluable addition to my "Grandmothering". Every single grandchild can proudly recite the story of Peter Leary and Mrs. Dennehy releasing the animals confiscated by the English on the Dursey Island because the Irish couldn't pay the rent. I hope Joan is coming along well, and I hope you are using some new recipes. The ones last time she was laid up didn't sound too good! 8) Jackie Williams

Hi Sue,Thanks for the note. I have to laugh because my husband and I were practically engaged before I learned that his grandfather came from Slovakia to Ellis Island where his name was changed from Moravansky to Moran! Anyway, we were both at Boston College Grad School (Social Work) when I was first attracted to this tall, good-looking, Irish-certainly??? guy from Cleveland! My maternal ancestors hail from Bantry and I have found distant cousins in Glengarriff. We've been to Ireland 4 times and I have seen a lot of Morans in County Clare, Kerry, etc. My people are Burke, Triggs, Keohane and I'm still searching!

Dear friends of Beara, Just a reminder that Rootsweb archives everything ever posted to this Beara mailing list. The archive is located on the web at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index?list=beara If you're ever wondering about the possibility of a missed post, all you need do is look in the archive. For example, to check on Riobard's posts earlier this week, we see [BEARA] Ardgroom (Continued) by Riobard O' Dwyer (Mon, 11 Feb 2013 16:23:22 +0000) [BEARA] More on the area around Ardgroom. by Riobard O' Dwyer (Tue, 12 Feb 2013 17:01:13 +0000) [BEARA] More archaeological sites in Ardgroom district by Riobard O' Dwyer (Tue, 12 Feb 2013 20:26:54 +0000) [BEARA] The siege of Dursey Island by Riobard O' Dwyer (Tue, 12 Feb 2013 20:47:49 +0000) So if any of those didn't make it to your mailbox, they're just a few clicks away! Use the archive. It's there for you. -- Bill

I typically read your posts and find them worthwhile and frequently share them with my extended family. I joined the Beara list because two nephews were living in Ireland and had asked their mother (my sister) about our Irish roots. She didn't know anything but suggested that they ask me as I have a general interest in history. I was able to trace my Harrington roots from Montana to Michigan's Upper Peninsula and then to the Beara. With Riobard's help I was able to trace my family tree in detail. While names and dates are interesting I find other things more fascinating. For example while searching for the date of my GG grandmother's death I looked at death records listing the name age and cause of death. That list contributed to a tapestry of which I am a part far more than the date of my GG grandmother/s death. Typically Riobard's posts reveal more of the tapestry and for that I am grateful. cort harrington On Feb 14, 2013, at 6:22 AM, Riobard O' Dwyer wrote: > *I wonder if you got all the contributions I sent in for some time > past > ----- the latest about 3 one evening/night very recently.
