I don't post very much , mostly just read. Some days I compile thought's, other days I put things together and wonder just a bit too much  Just a bit,  like, we seem to have lost so much in who we are. Branch names, the O's and the Mc's, records written down. People too busy moving forward and not taking their history with them or collecting it and putting it back where it belongs. I have been talking to the lost Irish for over 20 years here in the USA and many Irishmen and women here, do not even know who they were. They do their DNA and travel home to the ole sod. They see all the green grasses and the stone fence's, the sheep and taste the butter. The come away with the bitter sweet taste of Guinness, still foaming on their lip.  I have also been reading the Beara people's post(my people) for a long time now. It is nice to know some are still helping find our past. Mo tuath's like the Eugenian's and Clan na Rory are another lost part of us. Seem's people have went a long way have us forget our histroy and our derbfine . We are a proud race of Celt's and the Cork peple are amounst the best Erie has to offer. It is time to remember what we are, just not who we are.You sure are a mighty fine bunch of cork people.Thank you Riobard and everyone else who helps us to rememberGod be with youSeamus --- On Sun, 3/24/13, Riobard O' Dwyer <[email protected]> wrote: From: Riobard O' Dwyer <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [BEARA] branch names vs place names To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, March 24, 2013, 10:15 AM Seamus, place names and branch names are as different as chalk and cheese. Place names would cover the various townlands, or local areas in which people live. Branch names for instance show the various ways in which, let us say, take Sullivans/O'Sullivans are differentiated from one another ----- like Sullivan(Suonish), Sullivan(Rochtirre), Sullivan(Master), Sullivan(Tailor), Sullivan(Dorohy), Sullivan(Rider), etc., etc., etc.                          ----- Riobard.
