Notes This Week:
What’s happening today at the Irish Roots Cafe
1) ‘County Wexford Genealogy and Family History notes’
has just been upgraded with a full color 19th century
map of the county, which should help researchers.
2) I’ll be at the Dublin, Ohio Irish Festival shortly. It’s our
12th year or so at the genealogy tent with books, cd’s and
consultation ! We’ll be launching our genealogy CD and
several more in our new set, right at the festival !
We may even offer free DNA swabs to acquaint you with
the procedure.... Be sure and stop by the tent.
3) I am also going to try some Sean Nos singing, maybe at
the cultural tent Friday night... if not I’ll be singing at the
genealogy tent when the crowd subsides.....

Irish County Genealogy Book of the Month:
1) County Tipperary, Ireland, genealogy & family history.
http://www.irishroots.com/id4543.htm
Description:
Volume 25 of our Irish Families Project, and this book is
only on County Tipperary, Ireland. Here is some info
taken from the book above:
Most Numerous Tipperary Familes
The 19th century birth index finds the following families
most numerous in the county
(variant spellings after each name have been added) :
Ryan.....Ryane......Riane
Maher.....Mahair.....Mahar
O'Brien.....O'Bryan.....Brian
Kennedy.....Kenedy.....Cannady
Dwyer.....Dwier.....Dwire
Hogan.....Hogane.....Hogain
Hayes.....Hays..,...Haes
Gleeson.....Gleason.....Gleasane
McGrath.....McGraw.....MacGra
Walsh.....Welsh.....Welch
Kelly.....Kellie.....Kelley
Lonergan......Lonorgan....Lanorgan
Most of the old Irish names can have the
Mac or 'O' before the name dropped or
added at will. Additionally many old Irish
names were translated or 'mistranslated'
into English from the original gaelic.
Two more basic resources for the 19th
century are the Tithe Applotment Books,
and Griffiths Survey of Ireland. They are
available at the National Library of Ireland
and elsewhere.

History Notes on the Name
Ryan families rank as one of the ten most numerous
in Ireland. The older forms of O'Ryan and O'Mulryan
have largely been discarded.
It appears most Ryans today descend anciently from
the O'Maoilrian family of Tipperary. This family held
Owney, Co. Tipperary and Owneyburg, Co. Limerick.
They are found on the Map of Ortelius in that area.
These lands were once known as "Owney Mulryan",
referring to the older spelling of the name there....
Keatings History also gives the O'Ryans as an ancient
family of note in other counties..... Ryan is found most
numerous of all names in Limerick and Tipperary in
modern times...

Curious News and Notes, From Ireland today
1) Amhran na bhFiann, the Irish National Anthem is popular,
despite calls for a less ‘militaristic’ song. Well, what about
‘the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air’ for the U.S....
but survey shows only 7% of people actually want it changed.
2) More Irish spending vacation time at home now.
Domestic holidays up 25%

3) County Fermanagh Seaplane Festival. Seaplanes used
Northern Ireland base during WWII
