All of the following is from dear Riobard or the sources noted. The ancient name Buaig or Buaigh , the branch name of my O'Sullivans from Rossmacowan, is pronounced Boo-ee) Jack Acc to http://www.hoganstand.com/general/identity/names/b.htm Origin of Boetius >From http://www.irishclans.com/articles/irishbabynames.html Boetius and Buaig Buagh [Buach] (male)- " 'conqueror'. A name related etymologically to Boudicca or Boadicaea (died AD 62), queen of the Iceni and leader of a celebrated uprising of the Britons against the Romans in AD 61. Boetius and Victor have been used to anglcise it." ius=latin form of Buach or Buaigh Boetius comes from the Latin word for victorius, and the Gaelic words buadhach or buaig. Bhuaigh se an ras = He won the race. There should be a stroke over the "e" in "se", and over the "a" in "ras", but I haven't any. It would look as if your Buaigs came originally from some place outside Beara. I hope you eventually will be victorius in your research. Regards, Riobard. Buaig Buadhach Bogg Boetius >From Notes for the article: 'Ancient History of the Kingdom of Kerry' Written by Friar O'Sullivan, of Muckross Abbey. Edited with Preface and Notes by F. Jarlath Prendergast, O.F.M In 1376, "The King at the instant of his faithful liege, Mac Carty of Desmond, Captain of his nation, granted to Thomas O'Sullevan, and Mac Creagh O'Soulevan [we see by this that the Mac Crah (Creagh) were a very old branch of the O'Sullivans] liberty to pass over to the Court of Rome, provided they carried, or did nothing prejudicial to the English king." -- Dalton's Army List, vol. i. p. 261. The lineal descent from McCrah Rua who proceeded Rury Don, as O'Sullivan More, and from whom the Sliocht McCrah are named, is as follows:-- McCrath (or Creagh), Conor, Owen, Buadhach ("Bogg," or "Boetius"), Donogh, Conor, Owen, Dermot, Owen, Dermot. Conor died 7th January, 1639. Owen was killed at Glanmore. -- MSS. in T.C.D. In Cork and probably Kerry it is the latinization of Beolagh and Buagh. Gaelic: ' Bold, Reckless,Foolhardy'. -----Original Message----- From: beara-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:beara-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of beara-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2015 3:01 AM To: beara@rootsweb.com Subject: BEARA Digest, Vol 10, Issue 71 Today's Topics: 1.

The maps provide visualisations of population data for all 32 counties across the island from 1841 to 2002. You can view the data for the Beara peninsula at http://airo.maynoothuniversity.ie/external-content/population-change-1841-20 02-cork These maps show numbers, not names. So you won't be able to see specific families vanish over time. But the numbers are all too vivid by themselves, showing the steep declines in population as the 19th century progressed into the 20th.
