"cliamhain isteach". Cliamhain = a son-in-law. isteach = coming or going in. A man going in as a son -in- law to his wife's parents. When there was no son left, or no son available to take over the farm, a "match" was made with a neighbouring man to marry the girl and come in as a son-in-law to her parents in her farm. ---- Riobard. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Jfloe@aol.com> To: <Beara-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 3:58 AM Subject: [BEARA] Question for Riobard > Dear Riobard, > > What does " cliamhain isteach" mean?
