Today while sorting through photos I took while in Ireland I found a cemetery marker in Brandon, Dingle Peninsula, Co Kerry, that I had photographed with the name of Philip LOGUE, died 7th Jan, 1927, aged 18 years along with the following information: His sister Margaret, died 30th March, 1934, Aged 27 Their Parents, Thomas E. Logue, died 10th feb, 1957, Aged 79 years and Johanna, died 19th April, 1960, Aged 84 yr. Other Members of the Family Joan Buried in New York Tom Buried in Leicester Patrick Buried in Leicester R. I. P. Please pass this information on, or if you would like a copy of the photo please contact me. I snapped this as I was interested in the one gravestone commemorating the entire family. Haven't I seen a posting from a Faye Logue in AU? I am, Cynthia Russell crussell@traversecity.com Traverse City, Michigan U.S.A. researching FERGUS, Co Tyrone and worldwide DODD, Loudon Co, VA, U.S.A.

Best wishes to you all from down under, As a newcomer to both the list, and genealogy, I am enjoying the posts and my URL address book is blossoming. My research areas: Cork - where my G-grandmother Joanna SLATTERY was born in Mitchelstowm around 1850 - she came to New Zealand in 1869. Her parents were Matthew and Mary SLATTERY. Mary ne CONDON. (There were two or three sisters of Joanna who came to NZ as well - possible one married a NIVEN, one a CUMMINS and another an ENGLISH) Joanna m Martin FITZGIBBON b 1844 - Crusheen - County Clare. Parents - Martin ( b 1815) and Catherine b c 1813 (ne O'BRIEN) FITZGIBBON. Thats about as far back as I have got now - can someone suggest my next move? Thanks Jan Maclean Jan Maclean janlin@voyager.co.nz

Hi-have been reading the messages, lots of Irish names, doesnt anyone work on BYRNE? Have read it is the 7th most common name in Ireland. We went there in 1989, have been married 56 yrs-had to spell this name repeatedly and then they get it wrong sometimes but in Ireland everyone knew the name and they love Americans. As to the given names everyone has been writing about--possibly there werent that many saints names they liked and most of the Irish use saints names. Thomas and Mary KELLY BYRNE m 1832 Ballysax, Co Kildare, Ire. Mary dau of Daniel and Sarah BYRNE KELLY. Thomas and Mary to San Francisco 1867 with 5 grown children, Maurice, Thomas, Daniel, Mary, Patrick. Two stayed in Ireland: James who m Ellen DOWLING in Kilcullen Parish, Co Kildare. Sarah who m James GLYNN, Moone Parish, Co Kildare. Bridgit ALLEN b 1848 Co Clare, Ireland, dau of Denis and Bridgit CLEARY ALLEN, to SanFrancisco, m 1872 Daniel BYRNE. Her sister Susan to SF m PATRICK NASH. Susan died of TB as did many Irish of that period. My grgrmother was Eliza MOONEY to NY from Ireland (?) 1848, age 16, with sister Mary, 18, they are listed as shoe binders. Eliza m 1852, St Patrick's church, Rochster, NY to Henry BUE (BEW). John and Rose GALLAGHER witnesses. to IN, MO. Eliza d 1872, Cooper Co Mo. they had 8 ch. No clue as to what happened to Mary, who there parents were, etc. We also have MCDANIEL, MCDONALD, LOWERY, YATES which seem to be Scotch names. Thank you. Ellen Byrne dande@mail.tds.net

Hi, I think the original EATON query was for Tennessee; there's also someone actively searching in Mason County KY. I have Jane EATON in Perry County PA, who married Joseph HUNTER in 1803 and moved to Miami County OH in 1811. There was another EATON family in Perry County but I can't figure how she fits in with them.

Here in my very hard basket are a few queries. My G.grandfather Charles Conlan was transported to Australia in 1815. He came with his brother Edward from Aughnacloy in Co. Tyrone. We know he left behind his Father. Hugh Conlan and two sisters in Aughnacloy. His mother Mary McCauley we presume, from records was deceased. I would love to know what happened to this family that was left behind in Ireland.I presume the two sisters married, but I can find no record of this. Also my husband's Grandfather James McShane was sent from Newry Co. Down.He was the son of laurence and Mary. he was born in1818. He arrived in Australia in approx. 1836. Would love some help with these queries. Margaret barmar@qldnet.com.au

I have been reading lots of queries..but have never seen the surname BYRNE yet it is the 7th most common name in Ireland, so I have heard. Thomas BYRNE m Mary KELLY, 1832, Ballysax, Co Kildare. Mary was the dau of Daniel and Sarah BYRNE KELLY who were married 1805 in Co Kildare. Thomas and Mary to San Francisco ca 1867 with 5 grown children. Two stayed in Ireland, James who m Ellen DOWLING, lived Kilcullen Parish, Co Kildare, Sarah who m James GLYNN, Moone Parish, Co Kildare. Have never learned Thomas's parents. He was b 1805, there was a Garrett & Anne BYRNE who had a son Thomas b that year but dont believe he is ours. Thomas & Mary's other children were: Maurice, Mary, Thomas, Daniel, Patrick. Thank you.

RE: HerkChick@aol.com http://www.mpx.com.au/%7Ehugho/webdoc5.htm Clan O'Connor Our name, in Irish Gaelic, is Ó Conchubhair. Today this is pronounced owe-kru- who-ear. In other pronounciations it ranges from owe-con-ear to owe-con-coo- ear. The spelling of the surname varies from sept to sept - mine, above, is O'Connor Kerry - and there are regional adaptions and other approximations such as Conaire (Conroy) http://www.vretail.com/names9.htm#O: O'Connor O'Connor, with its variants Connor, Conner, Connors etc., comes from the Irish Conchobhair, from the personal name Conchobhar, prehaps meaning 'lover of hounds' or 'wolf-lover'. This was one of the most favoured of early Irish names, and gave rise to the surname in at least five distinct areas, in Connacht (O'Conor Don), in Offaly (O'Conor Faly), in north Clare (O'Conor of Corcomroe), in Keenaght in Co Derry, and in Kerry (O'Connor Kerry).

Although a very big update to the county pages is underway, the new versions are not yet posted. There is still a lot of GREAT info and good links on the FIANNA GUIDE site, starting at http://www.rootsweb/~fianna/county/index.html Click on Clare or Cork and take a look :) And keep checking back for the updates :) Peace.

My father often referred to our home in Wisconsin when we were growing up as "Killarney Castle"? Can anyone advise me, is there such a castle? If so, where is it located [other than in Killarney?]? If it exists, where might I locate it's history? Could it be he called our home by this name because of some family connection [i.e. CAREY], since I have been unable to find the County of origin of his family---- I keep deadending at his father/my grandfather, James Joseph CAREY. Any and all replies will be much appreciated. With all good wishes, /S/ James J. Carey

My New York Dutch followed the Dutch naming tradition which if I recall is the reverse but it helped very much as I was able to predict the grand parents names from the childrens names. one family had 8 female children 6 Arrintje's that died young and an Arrientje and a Marientje that lived the other 4 children were males and all lived. Also I have a German family all males were Johannes and went by their middle names.

Like most Western names, many of these are based upon an ancestor's occupation or appearance or place of residence. The prefixes of "O'", "Mc", and "Mac" are common in Irish surnames. These are all references to ancestry. Mac is the Gaelic word for son. It is now often abbreviated to "Mc", but originally it was the longer word and normally followed by a space and then the surname. There is a tradition that Mac is Irish and Mc is Scottish, but this is false. Both variations are in wide use in both countries. O is really a word all by itself, it means "grandson". Only in recent years has it been attached to the surname with an apostrophe. In ancient Ireland, there were no fixed surnames. A man was known as the the "son of" his father's first name. Occaisionally a man would be known by his grandfather's name (by the word O) if his grandfather was especially noteworthy. Around the twelfth century, most all of Europe and England adopted standardized surnames. Irish families did the same. The other distinctively Irish prefix is Fitz, as in Fitzgerald or FitzAlan. This is a Norman French prefix, brought to Ireland by the Normans who previously had lived in England. It is derived from the French word fils, meaning "son of". Therefore, Fitz and Mac mean about the same and were interchangeable at one time. It is now common for the O and Mac prefixes to be eliminated entirely. The original Celtic words are listed in parentheses. Barry - from the Norman French surname de Barri Brennan - O Braonain, descendant of Braonain (a word for "sorrow") Burke - from the Norman French surname de Burgh or de Bourg Byrne - O Broin, descendant of Broin (bran means "raven") Casey - O Cathasaigh, descendant of Cathasaigh (cathasach means "watchful") Daly - O Dalaigh, descendant of Dalaigh (dalach means "assemblyman") Donohue - O Donnchadha, descendant of Donnchadha (donn means "brown haired") Dunne - O Duinne, a descendant of Duinn (donn means "brown" or "brown haired" Fitzgerald - son of Gerald (a Norman French name) Fitzpatrick - This name was originally Mac Giolla Padraig, meaning a descendant of a devotee of St. Patrick. In later years the Mac prefix was changed to the Norman "Fitz". Flynn - O Floinn, descendant of Floinn (flann, meaning "ruddy") Kelly - O Ceallaigh, descendant of Ceallaigh (ceallach is the word for "strife" Kennedy - O Cinneide, descendant of Cinneide (ceann means "head", eidigh means "ugly") Lynch - from the Norman French surname de Lench McCarthy - Mac Carthaigh, descendant of Carthaigh (carthach means "loving") Murphy - O Murchadha, descendant of a murchadh (sea warrior) O'Brien - O Briain, descendant of Briain (Brian Boru) O'Connor - O Conchobhair, descendant of Conchobhair O'Donnell - O Domhnaill, descendant of Domhnaill O'Neill - O Neill, descendant of Neill ("Neill of the Nine Hostages") Quinn - O Cuinn, descendant of Conn Regan - O Riagain, descendant of Riagain Reilly - O Ragailligh, descendant of Ragaillach Ryan - O Malvilriain, descendant of Mavilriain (a name not identifiable) Sullivan - O Suileabhain, descendant of Suileabhain (suil means "eye" and Levan is a Celtic deity.

Bartholemew BARTHOLOMAEUS Dennis DIONYSIUS Edward EDUARDUS Eugene EUGENIUS John JOANNES or JOHANNES James JACOBUS Joseph JOSEPHUS Charles CAROLUS Lawrence LAURENTIUS Martin MARTINUS Matthew MATTHAEUS Maurice MAURITIUS Patrick PATRITIUS Paul PAULUS Peter PETRUS Timothy TIMOTHEUS William GUILIELMUS First son for Paternal grandfather, 2nd son for maternal grandfather, 3rd son for father, 4th son for father's brother, 5th son for mother's brothers. Pattern for 4th and 5th sons might be interrupted to name a son for a favorite saint, and at all times the pattern might be interrupted to name a successive son after an older son who might have died. First daughter for maternal gran, 2nd daughter for paternal gran, 3rd daughter for mum, 4th daughter for mum's sisters, 5th daughter for dad's sisters, with the above provisos again holding true.

Pattern for 4th and 5th sons might be interrupted to name a son for a favorite saint, and at all times the pattern might be interrupted to name a successive son after an older son who might have died. First daughter for maternal gran, 2nd daughter for paternal gran, 3rd daughter for mum, 4th daughter for mum's sisters, 5th daughter for dad's sisters, with the above provisos again holding true. Old Naming Patterns •1st son named after father's father •2nd son named after mother's father •3rd son named after father •4th son named after father's eldest brother •1st daughter named after mother's mother •2nd daughter named after father's mother •3rd daughter named after mother •4th daughter named after mother's grandmother Christian Names Though of minor importance in comparison with surnames the question of the prevalence of christian names is of sufficient interest to merit a brief examination. In America and in England the use of surnames as christian names has become very widespread since the end of the nineteenth century. In Great Britain famous surnames like Cecil, Douglas, Gordon, Leslie and Stanley are now regarded there as recognized christian names and are common as such; while in the United States you are more likely to meet, say, a Calvin D. Smith than a plain Tom Smith. In modern times in Ireland, particularly in Catholic Ireland, christian names are generally chosen from those of saints: but we still have a fair share of old Gaelic personal names in use, such as Brian, Connor, Dermot and Manus, which are not to be found in Irish hagiology. However, most of the old Gaelic names were actually borne by some early Irish saint: the commonest of them to- day are Aidan, Brendan, Colman, Donough, Fergus, Finbar, Fintan, Kevin, Kieran, Lorcan and Phelim among men, and Brigid, Dympna and Ita among women. Gaelic names such as those just referred to have become more popular of late years, but the great majority of our people bear christian names which are not of Irish origin; and this has been the case since the destruction of the old Gaelic order.

Yes, my family names are repeated for many generations. It has been interesting to compare four or more families from each county and find similar names only in that county...Does that make sense? I would like to compare some given names from other counties and see if the pattern continues. So far, I can only compare Limerick and Mayo...From Meath I only have a William, Jane and Thomas... -SusanB

Hi all, (Sorry about that O'Connor question, I just didn't read down far enough and couldn't take back the e-mail). Anyway, I was talking to my grandmother today telling her the progress I made when she told me that she remembers someone in the family writing to Church Street, County Cork. She thinks the house number was 10. If anyone would be so nice as to check and see who lived there a while back. The family name is O'Connor :} Desiree
