Dear Betty, You have your homework done very well. You obviously are an excellent researcher. I would give you Grade A+. "Annals of Beara", which can be obtained from HTTP://WWW.LULU.COM/ is so big that it was broken up into three parts: Vol. 1 contains the Parish of Adrigole and the Parish of Allihies. Vol. 11 (or 2) contains Bere Island and the Parish of Eyeries. Vol. 111 (or 3) contains the Parish of Castletownbere and the Co. Cork part of the Parish of Glengarriff/Bonane(Co.Kerry). You can start off with the Townland of Clochlin/Cloughland in Bere Island in Vol 11 (or 2). That would contain most of what you need. But there are "tails" to families, and you might be as well off to purchase all three of the Volumes of "Annals of Beara". It is up yourself. Riobard O'Dwyer.
