Jackie, If you are interested in Beagh parish I can particularly recommend the book "Beagh - a history and heritage" and the index to that book on Cathy Labath's website at http://www.celticcousins.net/ireland/beaghindex.htm. Required reading. The book is jam-pack-full of Beagh history and names. Cathy's website is an absolute mine of information on Beagh (and other subjects). The index was submitted by Pat Connors, also a strong authority on this and other areas (see also http://www.connorsgenealogy.com/). The book "Beagh - a history and heritage" is a little difficult to obtain as it is out of print (or was a year ago; then a bookshop in Ennis told me that it was going to be reprinted imminently). Curiously, although it had been out of print for quite a while, copies kept popping up on the shelves of O'Callaghans newsagents on Bridge St in Gort so there must be a secret source somewhere. More curiously, the ladies behind the counter at O'Callaghans didn't know where that source was. It seems that the books just appeared on the shelves from time to time. Just one more example of the magic around that part of the world, I guess. If you are interested you could give O'Callaghans' a call and see whether they are back in stock.
