People of Beara all over the world.The book "Things I have seen" is a must for anyone connected with Beara, and people whose ancestors were originally from Beara. It contains practically everything connected with the lives of the people here in the days long past. The most of the people from whom those stories of the past were collected for the Beara Millenium are now dead. The book is not very big, but it is absolutely fascinating. It ends with the famous poem "Beara my Home", which was submitted by Fr. Sean O'Shea, now almost 90. In the words of Bernie O'Sullivan (ex- Principal Teacher) of Cahermore: "The mystery of Life must go on". It was a life not known by the youth of today ---- a crying shame if all about that life in Beara in the olden days was lost forever. *---- Riobard.* On 17 February 2013 15:55, Margaret O'Neill <[email protected]> wrote: > Bill and Teresa, many many thanks for posting the book.

Thanks Teresa and Bill and Riobard for this link and all you do. Do you realize how hungry everyone else in the world is for news about the old country? We find a Harrington married an O'Sullivan and maybe the town-land and not much more until we get digging or until someone on the list offers these wonderful memories.
