For visitors trying to find out when Records can be found in the Parishes in Beara as from the various years, I will begin as follows:- BAPTISMS (plus BIRTHS from about 1860 on):- Castletownbere 1819; Allihies (including Dursey Island) 1822; Adrigole 1830; Eyeries (including Ardgroom) 1843; Glengarriff/Bonane 1846. Bere Island varies (sometimes the records can be found with the Castletownbere Parish). The Baptisms from 1823 to about 1843 are missing from Eyeries/Ardgroom Parish. MARRIAGES:- Castletownbere from 1819; Allihies (including Dursey Island) from 1823; Eyeries (including Ardgroom) from 1823; Adrigole from 1831; Glengarriff/Bonane from 1847. Sometimes the Bere Island ones are put in with Castletownbere Parish. Some pages in the 1930s in the Allihies Parish were obviously cut out with a scissors. When I say the various Parishes, there are several Townlands in each Parish, So, if the enquirer from the Rev. Parish Priest or the Rev. Canon, or in some cases the Rev, Ministers of various Churches, is enquiring about the Various Townlands (if they are known by the enquirer), they would make things alot easier for them.. I have an index to marriages, but when there are several people with the man/woman married to people of the same Christian names and Surnames, all you can do is to buy one or all of the Volumes from "Annals of Beara". I have nothing to do with the sellings of "Annals of Beara". They can be obtained from http://www.lulu.com/ I can hardly remember now what is in it. It took me practically 50 years of research work to do it ----- but all, or almost all, will still be there about our ancestors long after I have gone. I often wonder how in the name of God I was able to research all that, and then put it all down in my own handwriting. I'll just never know ------ but 'tis all there now to help many, many people. If not done, much of it ---- and the stories I gathered ---- would have been lost forever. Thanks be to God who let me survive that long so that all this would be saved. Riobard.

Thank you!
