    3. Anyone have a McGuire family who came to San Francisco in the 1880's-90's? I have photos of McGuires taken in San Francisco in the early 1890's. The photo is labeled as cousins of Ellen Lynch Lalor who came from Ventry in 1883. Her mother was Mary Manning from Kildurrihy (various spellings, such as Keeluragh)and her father Thomas Lynch, from Ventry. If anything sounds familiar, I'd be glad to share the photos for some information. Jeanne from CA Dick & Jeanne Baldwin Sacramento, CA

    2. Dan and GiGi Brakeville
    3. Hi everyone. My mother and I have come across some additional Kelly info on our line that I wanted to share in hopes of someone related out there :) Patrick Kelly had married Catherine Shea in 1812 in co. derry. by 1842 my ggg grandfather - edward kelly (their son) and anne kelly the middle daughter had left ireland. anne went to australia and edward to the states (NY). No trace of anyone else. In 1851 edward had been married for a few years and moved his family to ancaster, canada for no reason we could find. Until....we may have found his father, Patrick Kelly (spelled Kelley on the census). this is the new info: Patrick Kelley b @ 1794 in Ireland at @ age 58 along with the following people: Mary Kelley b@1812 age 40 John Kelley b@ 1835 Ellon Kelley b@ 1839 Owen Kelley b@ 1848 Patrick with family lived in district 41 sub-dist 390, page 145, line 14-18 Edward is in dist 41, sub-dist 390, page 41, line 14 Patrick had met and married Mary in Ireland - we figured Catherine - his first wife had died. All the rest of the kids listed above were also born in Ireland. I hope this isnt too confusing.

(Anyone - please, oh please, step in here if they have knowledge that may help.) My Daniel was an "Overseer", ( a possible Pensioner Guard of convicts), wife, Jane KIELLY?. They "may" have had daughters Margaret & Therese and "may" have arrived on the ship "Lady Kennaway". He "may" have been in the Devonshire 11th Regiment of Foot. They had a son Daniel in Hobart, Van Diemans Land (Tasmania), Australia in 1851. Not one other verifiable scrap of information found.

    1. [IRL-KERRY] WWI Medal Citations Available at Ancestry
    2. Ray Marshall
    3. Ancestry.com has scanned the original, hand-written citations of the medal citations of British and Commonwealth soldiers (it doesn't say anything about sailors, but check it out) during the First World War. Many Irish enlisted. I don't know if there was a draft. These wouldn't be the full service record of the soldier, but the description of the event for which the medal was awarded. Every soldier received at least one medal for their service. That citation might list the unit with which he served and where he served. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/feb/20/military.news A website fit for heroes: 14m first world war medals recorded online Scans of record cards reveal exploits of 5.5m soldiers - and some famous names This article appeared in the <http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian> Guardian on Wednesday <http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2008/feb/20> February 20 2008 on p9 of the UK news <http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2008/feb/20/mainsection/uknews> section. It was last updated at 12:17 on February 20 2008. On June 8 1917 the London Gazette carried a report about Captain Albert Ball, a fighter pilot who had been awarded the Victoria Cross "for most conspicuous and consistent bravery". Between April 25 and May 6 Ball had taken part in 26 combats, bringing down 11 hostile aircraft, on one occasion fighting six singlehandedly. "Several times his aeroplane was badly damaged, once so seriously that but for the most delicate handling his machine would have collapsed, as nearly all the control wires had been shot away. On returning with a damaged machine he had always to be restrained from immediately going out on another. In all, Captain Ball has destroyed 43 German aeroplanes and one balloon, and has always displayed most exceptional courage, determination and skill." It was not the first time he was mentioned in dispatches, having already been awarded the Military Cross and the Distinguished Service Order three times. But the Victoria Cross would be his last medal; he was killed in action on May 7. The accounts of Ball's medal-winning valour have been publicly available since his death, but from today it will be much easier for historians and amateur genealogists to access such details. For the first time the full medal records of the 5.5 million British and Commonwealth soldiers who fought in the first world war are being made available to view online, comprising a total of 14m medals. Since almost every soldier who fought was awarded at least a campaign medal, the record is comprehensive. And because most of the first world war service records were destroyed during the second, the medals record is the most extensive archive of the conflict in existence. "Quite simply, this is the most complete first world war collection of what we are calling heroes' exploits," said Simon Harper, managing director of the genealogy website Ancestry.co.uk, which has digitised the archive. "There are other records already online which capture parts of the service record, but unfortunately a lot of records no longer survive, so to have a collection this complete is extremely important." Though other organisations, notably the National Archives at Kew, allow users to order specific microfiched records for a fee, this is the first time they can be browsed online. The records take the form of colour scans of handwritten cards, on which details of the medals awarded are recorded, along with soldiers' addresses, rank, regiment and details of their service history. The cards carry references to mentions in dispatches, where appropriate. More than 50,000 records include details of covert operations. Alongside the ordinary Tommies are a large number of medal-winners who were or would go on to be well known - among them Oswald Mosley, AA Milne, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Lord Louis Mountbatten. Ernest Shackleton, newly returned from the South Pole in 1917, was considered too old for the western front but sent to South America on a propaganda mission, for which he was awarded the 1914 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. The young Noel Coward was awarded the Silver War Badge, having served briefly before being discharged for ill health. Britain's last surviving western front veteran, Harry Patch, is also represented. Though the spindly writing and military acronyms can appear difficult to interpret, they are the missing keys to unlocking further intriguing facts about one's ancestors, according to Harper, who discovered the existence of the archive after being approached by a private historical society, the Western Front Association, which now holds the records at a secret Salisbury location. Six people worked for six months using hi-tech scanners and word recognition software to convert the documents into a searchable archive. The website, which operates commercially and requires users to pay a subscription, also allows users to search first world war pension records, held at the National Archives, and the remaining military service records. "There has been a fantastic growth recently in people's interest in family history, and military history is an important part of that," said Fergus Read, of the Imperial War Museum, which keeps regimental histories and more personal documents which, he said, can also help genealogists. "World war one is a conflict that seems to have a great resonance for the British people. We're good for fleshing out the story but these records are essential for starting the story." .

    1. [IRL-KERRY] LEARY/O'LEARY
    2. I am working on a theory with a friend in Wales (another O'Leary of course) that I may be a descendant of the Bhui (Bwee/Boy) - An Clann Buidhe of Tureenanane (Tooreennanean) near Inchigeelagh, County Cork. Reading the 100 page manuscript "The Poetry of Maura Bwee" written by the Rev. Fathers O'Donoghue, Sweeney & Burke indicates that: "The Clan of O'Leary Buidhe held eight townlands in 1641, which I read in another O'Leary Clan History manuscript were in the Inchigeelagh/Iveleary area of southwest County Cork, on either side of the Pass of Keimanaeigh:" (Inchideraille, Derreenglass & Tooreennanean). The early history revolves around the O'Leary Meirgeach Clan (owners of Carrignacurra - the O'Leary Towerhouse/Castle in Inchigeelagh & at one time the townlands of Tureenanean/Tooreennanean) and the O'Leary Buidhe Clan, who acquired the townlands of Tureenanean circa 1750's, where Dermot Buidhe O'Leary (Maura Bwee's father) was born in 1751. It appears as though there was some indication of a genelogy link between the two clans, but that's another theory that I'm researching involving another Richard who was the uncle of Canon Peter O'Leary. Then there are all of those Cork Richards that I found. Oh boy! Why did I start this anyway? >From the manuscript of "The Poetry of Maura Bwee": "Dermot (Diarmuid/Jeremiah) Bwee and his wife Siobhan (Johanna) Bhean (sp? and what is the Anglicized meaning?) owned 50 acres of land and had five sons, Dermot, (1775) Teigue, Sean, (1780) Conor, (1792) & Richard, (1795). Their three daughters were Maura (Maire, 1774) Nell & Nora. Nell was married to Teige O'Leary of the "Block" or "Chip" at Rossmore. Nora was married to Donal O'Connor at Inchodiraghill, who was dispossessed of his farm. Teige was married to one of the Murphys in Bantry. Dermot Jr. was married to one of the Cronins. Richard had five wives, one of them was a Cotter (Margaret?) from Killmore. (who bore him at least two sons, Jeremiah & John in 1827 & 1829) His last wife was a Lehane/Lane. (but no records of any children with four of his wives) He lived in the parish of Bantry. (No dates given as to when) The manuscript states the name of Inghean Ui Liathain as his wife of record. Is this the Irish spelling for Lehane?A woman of the Coakleys was Conor's wife, he was a herdsman." (From what I have read some of the brothers were evicted from Tureenanane circa 1820) Long story short, (about time after all that, and it isn't going to get much shorter) my g.g.grf. was Richard Leary, b.circa 1795/1805, county unknown, who had a son Michael circa 1831, presumed to be in County Kerry according to the Wales census records of 1861/71/81, where Michael migrated to during or just after the famine, married Johanna Sullivan in the Catholic Chapel in Dowlais in 1855, and raised a family of eight kids before going to America in 1890 and passing away in 1902 in New Castle, PA. Speculation may be that he was the offspring of one of Richard Bhui's five wives, three of which are unknown at this time, any children by them or where they lived during their marriage. (Dam!! Why didn't they record the mother's name too on the marriage certificates in the UK!!) My inquiry to this website pertains to: 1. What were the surnames of the other three wives? 2. Does anyone out there have any knowledge of their family descending from the Bhui Clan? 3. Any knowledge of where Richard Bhui O'Leary and/or his descendants ended up after their lands were dispossessed? 4. Access to any records that may reveal answers to 1, 2 & 3? The theory so far has them migrating over the mountain into County Kerry to somewhere in the Parish of Killarney, possibly the Killarney, Castleisland or Millstreet areas, and I probably wouldn't rule out Clondrohid where I found a Richard & a Michael, but not together. Keeping track of the children of one marriage is difficult enough, let alone children, stepchildren, half brothers/sisters, etc. of five marriages. I've been looking for a Richard with a son Michael (b.circa 1831) for 20 years now and the only such combination has been in Causeway, Co. Kerry where a Richard Leary & Anne Dumas had a son Michael in 1826. This same Richard married a Bridget Sullivan ten years later and had five more children. (Hmmmm! Sounds like a Bhui) My three trips there searching and talking to the existing O'Learys have turned up zilch, and most of them have passed away since my first trip in 1996, leaving only two remaining as of 2005. My findings in Killarney have turned up a couple of Michaels, even one in 1831, but none with a father Richard, although there are a couple of Richards recorded outside the town of Killarney, (Knockerrannibul, Glenflesk & Carrigneecullia) and one in Castlegregory, with a ton of Michaels in nearby Killiney. Just haven't been able to match up any of them. Fortunately, our O'Leary DNA Project has just matched me at 95.4% (within 10 generations or 250 years) with another O'Leary in England who claims to have a connection to the Bhui O'Leary Clan so stay tuned. So far I share common ancestors with eight others around the world at 95.4% or higher at 97.6% but we haven't been able to connect the who, what & where when comparing family trees. Ain't this fun? Yah, I've been going blind scouring the Casey Volumes too. Can anyone tell me the exact total of Michaels recorded in all 15 volumes? Pay attention now, there will be a test!! Finally, to get to the point of all of this superfluous volume of vocalizing, if anyone knows of any Richard/Michael Leary father/son connection in counties Cork or Kerry circa 1825/1831 please contact me. Come to think of it, let's make that anywhere in Ireland!! They may have been running from the local Garda! It sure would be nice to know before we depart for the annual O'Leary Reunion in Inchigeelagh this coming September. By the way, I still need a fake I/D to rent a car because I'm of the age that the Irish car rental agencies are discriminating against. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for hanging in here..

My thinking is if it worked with one of our O'Connor rootsweb folk it might work for me also. I have found family birth's and marriages in two Parish's so far. Marriage for the parents of Maurice below Thomas O'Connor and Elizabeth Teahan married in Kiltallagh in 1842. One child baptised there , Catherine 26 3 1859. Another daughter Mary was baptised 30 3 1846 in Killeentierna . Maurice O'Connor's birth app 1854 I have been unable to find. There may have been others but so far that is all I have I do not think there is a church in Ballyfinnane where they are believed to have come from. I know that Killtallagh is in Castlemaine parish , so which other churches could they have used What I am trying to say is where do you think they would have gone to Mass each Sunday. Any thoughts at all .

Your friend could put note up there and also in Keel church which is in village of Boolteens which is about 5 miles west of castlemaine on road to Inch/Dingle. Dont think there is a church in Ballyfinane but there is one in Firies. Maybe putting up a note there and another one in Milltown would cover area. Also postoffices and large shops often have large notice boards.

    1. [IRL-KERRY] Thank You - Prayers have ALREADY been answered thanks to you folks
    2. Thank you all SO MUCH! Yesterday my friend was told that an MRI showed lesions on her brain consistent with MS and that would explain ALL of her other symptoms. Weighing all of the known facts, that was the diagnosis. She still had more tests today to confirm it. She was prepared for the worst. I asked for your prayers and today the tests came back NOT MS - the lesions are also consistent with being a long time smoker. They also found a crack in a vertebra in her neck and a slipped disc that resulted from a fall she had in December (when she passed out and fell and hit her head on the floor which resulted in a concussion) that had resulted in the headaches. Then last week the dizziness started. All of which are SOME of her symptoms of MS. Physical therapy for the neck will help to relieve some of these and she had already decided to quit smoking yesterday. I just talked to her and she also thanks you for your prayers. She believes that she has received a miracle. She said her doctor yesterday was CERTAIN that it was MS due to all of her symptoms belonging to MS. The neurologist today said it was not and attributed the symptoms to what I described above. While the lesions will not go away, she will recover from everything else and (as long as she quits smoking) they will not get any worse. So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU from both of us. By the way, I still see my friend Msgr. Crean's hand in all of this. He was the most humble person I have ever met in my whole life and he probably wanted to avoid the attention that sainthood would cause by stemming this in the bud. I can see him smiling down on me right now with that sly grin of his. Marge in Southern California </HTML>

Margaret's son, my grandfather, always used to talk of Aghadoe, which is not where his father was from - although that was only a few miles away - and my grandfather used to say " I want to be buried in Aghadoe " ( he wasn't, poor man, he was buried in London with his wife and son ), and I think that Aghadoe was where Margaret Sheehan - and possibly / probably John Lawler - were from. My grandfather was extremely close to his mother. There were Sheehans and Lawlers listed there in Griffiths. I think that the Catholic church at Fossa may hold records, does anybody know if they still have them? Or would they all be held in Killarney? I do not know of any in these two families that went to America. Some of the Spillanes went, and also to Australia Mary

    1. [IRL-KERRY] Interpreting birth/baptism records in Casey Collection. Need help
    2. Following entry from Casey vol V, p 217. "Killarney 8/21/96 Catherine Sullivan d. Roger & Mgt Murphy wit John Sullivan, Ellen Shea." Understand that Roger is father and Mgt mother. But, is Roger's last name Sullivan and Mgt's Murphy? That's the only way I can make sense out of Catherine's name being given as Sullivan. Can someone help me out on how to interpret these entries? **************The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. Go to AOL Music.
