Hi Henry,Mary O'Dwyer married Patrick Moriarty in Greenane,they were our nextdoor neighbors. Their daughter Julia was the post mistress and a wonderful person as was her son John who passed away last year. The post office was beside the Church but is no longer at that location. There was only one Mahony family on the Island during my time there.There is no one there now. It was a huge family ,I know some went to Rochester N.y. and some went to England Henry could you blow some warm our way in Boston, we have a chill factor below zero today Take care Jim.

Patrick Michael O'Dwyer came over in 1876 and a little after that Michael Mahoney, they lived in Kansas City, Missouri. Cousin Mahoney worked his way up to become Fire Chief of Kansas City. Cousin Julia Moriarty O'Sullivan was Post Mistress for many years. I understand the little post office was just about next to the church.

I want to thank all of you who contribute to the Beara list that I enjoy and have little to contribute because I have only been to Ireland once when we stayed at Bantry house for two nights and took a ride through Adrigole and then over the mountains to Kenmare on our trip from Dublin and down around Cork, up to Donegal and then across to Eyerecourt and Clonfort. And back to Dublin. I have Great grandparents who lived in Beara, Clonfort, Eyrecourt and Donegal and also from Cork area. If anyone on the list has connections to my ancestors I would love to share info from this side of the pond where I live in Connecticut an hour and a half from Boston. My great grandparents from Beara are: Thomas Harrington from Drombohilly, County Kerry near Tuosist . His parents were John Harrington b. 1815 and Ellen Sullivan of Drombohilly. He was Married to Mary Connelly b.in Crooha, County Cork, daughter of Daniel Connelly and Ellen Sullivan. I would love to know what the branch names are for my Sullivan and Harringtons. Please know that I appreciate all of the stories, resources that are shared and information about my ancestors that I see on the Beara website and wish that I had the wonderful experiences that those of you who have lived there share. Riobard's work is a gift to all of us that is enhanced by the people who contribute to this list. I can't wait for NEGHS to have Riobard's work available. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
