    1. [IRL-CLARE] Kilkishen photos by Patrick McCarty

    3. Most of these great snapshots are by listmember Patrick McCarty, who has shared them with me but now they also appear on an online photo site, which everyone can access: http://community.webshots.com/album/548725829HQfTCo My Carberry family has a very old social association with Patrick's family. The Clare library website indicates that a Daniel McCarty (if I remember the forename correctly) was teaching school in Kilkishen just when my gggrandfather Patrick Carberry would have been learning his A-B-Cs. Then in the 1860s, Patrick's apparent younger brother Peter (whom I found earlier this year in Illinois after his emigrating in 1864) was the schoolteacher about whom Mr. McCarty's ancestor wrote in his diary. To complete this small circle of who was who in Kilkishen, Francis Cunneen was the teacher later in the 1800s, after Margaret Cunneen had married Peter Carberry and apparently died before the 1864 departure. Remarkable, isn't it, the small size of the school building and even the RIC barracks. Enjoy, Sharon Carberry Georgia
