Ennis Cathedral
Ennis Cathedral: The Building & Its People. Saturday 29th. August 2009 Presented by the Clare Roots Society Clare Roots Society The Clare Roots Society, brainchild of Ennisman Larry Brennan, was formed in April 2006 as an amateur family history group. The Society meets once a month in Ennis, and has approx. 50 members. Anyone with an interest in tracing their family tree is welcome to join. Some members are experienced genealogists while others are novices in the field. In addition to local members, we have some 'virtual' members who live overseas, but who follow our activities via email, and dream that they are in Clare. Activities are advertised in local press and in the Ennis Cathedral church bulletin. Under the Chairmanship of Declan Barron and his committee of Fiona de Buitleir, Eric Shaw, Larry Brennan & Paddy Waldron, guest speakers were arranged at past meetings including Paul O’Donnell of the South Galway genealogy group, Peter Beirne of 'The Manse' Local Studies library in Ennis, Jim Herlihy on the RIC, Liam Curran on Irish Soldiers in the British Army, Jonny Dillon of the Folklore Dept., UCD, and Dr. Pat Nugent of the University of Liverpool amongst others. From our own members, speakers have included Dr. Paddy Waldron, Gerry Kennedy, Ger Madden, Declan Barron, Eric Shaw, Robert Cullen, and Larry Brennan. In addition, we have run a number of hands-on computer workshops on genealogical research and the recording of data. The society works in partnership with Clare County Library in order to add to the wonderful fund of genealogy information already available on their website www.clarelibrary.ie Our biggest project to date, completed in 2008 with the assistance of a grant from the Heritage Council of Ireland, involved transcription of the gravestones in the old Drumcliffe Cemetery.

The County Clare Surname Culligan
The County Clare surname, Culligan, also written as Quilligan Author: [email protected] The author is the voluntary administrator of a Colgan surname (including Culligan) male DNA project and would welcome the participation of males who bear the Culligan surname in the study; of course, the initiative for participating in the simple, and inexpensive DNA test may be taken by female relatives or Culligan families acting collectively to cover the testing fee by FamilyTreeDNA.com. Prefatory Note Is Culligan a version of Colgan? MacLysaght writes: “Quilligan, Ó Cuileagáin - This Thomond [regional] name is equally well known in its variant form, Culligan” [McLysaght, A Guide to Irish Surnames, 1994]. In Edward MacLysaght’s Supplement to Irish Families, 1994, he wrote: “Culligan, Quilligan – Both these variants of Ó Cuileagáin are Clare names and are mainly found in that county and.. Limerick city … A century ago Culligan was much more numerous that Quilligan but the numbers are now about equal. Woulfe regards the name as an attenuated form of O’Colgan (which is said, without evidence, to be more correctly MacColgan). This implies that the sept immigrated westwards from Offaly which is to some extent corroborated by a fiant of 1588 where one of that name living in King’s County obtained a pardon. An earlier fiant shows another O’Colligan among the many O’Connors whose location is not mentioned. They were, however, well established in West Clare in the 17th century .. as Cullegane is returned in Petty’s Census as a principal name in the barony of Clonderalaw, Ennis”. This, the author’s Colgan Chronology does not include the surname Quilligan within its ambit.

Topography of Killaloe Parishes Reverend Philip Dwyer, A.B
Topography of Killaloe Parishes Reverend Philip Dwyer, A.B., • Bindon Street, Ennis, March 23, 1878 The parishes are taken in the order in which they stand under the several rural deaneries, as set forth in the Regal Visitation of 1622, and the particulars to which attention is directed appear in the following order throughout, viz. : — 1°. The name or names of the parish. 2°. The meaning or etymology of the name, as given by some competent authority in Irish literature. 3°. The size, with the actual and relative situation of the parish in each case. 4°. The ecclesiastical and other principal ancient remains and documents ; also brief notes of men of mark, old families, natural curiosities, or any historical incidents of importance connected with the parish ; also the inscriptions on old church plate. I. The Rural Deanery O’Mullod. This is the same as the territory or cantred of O'Mullod, so called from “M‘Blod, the son of Cas.” KILLALOE PARISH. The name is usually interpreted as Kill-da-lua,orKill-O’Mollua, from a famous saint of the 6th century, who is believed to have fllourished here. (Lanigan, quoted at Clonfert-Mollua, infra.) The parish is situated on the western side of the Shannon, in size 13,045 acres ; and is bounded on the north by the parish of Ogonello and Kilno ; on the west by that of Killokennedy ; on the south by Kiltenanlea ; and on the east by the Shannon, which separates it from the county of Tipperary. The ecclesiastical remains are the cathedral, and the stone-roofed oratory, or duirthrach,tothe north of it, which is not unlike Saint ColumKille’s house at Kells, or Kevin’s kitchen at Glendalough.

Lettermoylan of Clann Bhruaideadha: a Résumé of Their Landholding, Topography & History
McInerney/Lmoylan 18/1/13 8:20 PM Page 81 North Munster Antiquarian Journal vol. 52, 2012 81 Lettermoylan of Clann Bhruaideadha: A résumé of their landholding, topography & history LUKE McINERNEY This paper surveys the landholding of the learned poet-chronicler lineage, Clann Bhruaideadha of west Co. Clare and touches on the relationship between Clann Bhruaideadha and their estate at Lettermoylan on Slieve Callan. As members of the Gaelic learned class Clann Bhruaideadha had extensive landholding in Ibrickan and other parts of Co. Clare, including church land, crannóg and towerhouse settlements. Confusion appears to exist in Co. Clare as to the whereabouts of Lettermoylan.1 Lettermoylan, it may be observed, was one of the historical estates of the Meic Bhruaideadha (viz. Clann Bhruaideadha2), a learned poet-chronicler lineage that was among the literati service families whose chief patrons were the Uí Bhriain of Thomond. Uncertainty over the location of Lettermoylan is compounded by the observation that its location on the eastern slopes of Slieve Callan (Sliabh Calláin) afforded the area little value in agricultural terms. It is deemed an unlikely residence for a high status family of the Gaelic literary class. The land surrounding the slopes of Slieve Callan are characterised as marginal and of low productive value, a fact easily deduced from a walk around the boggy perimeter of its eastern and southern slopes. This confusion arose from the misleading identification in John O’Donovan’s edited version of the Annals of the Four Masters (1856).3 There it states Lettermoylan lay in Dysert within a subdivision of ‘Glangee’.

Abstract Stories of priests being hunted down and murdered at Mass Rocks by priest catchers and soldiers during the Penal era in Ireland persist to the present day. Using Ó Ciosáin’s (2004) tripartite taxonomy of memory this paper explores the reasons why these images continue to dominate and reflect the persecuted nature of Catholicism.

Clare Castle & Ballyea
Clare Castle & Ballyea The Parish Remembers by Eric Shaw Clare Roots Society 2011 Clare Castle & Ballyea The Parish Remembers Clare Roots Society was formed in 2006 to provide a forum for family history and genealogical research in County Clare. The Society has undertaken research in many parts of the County. As a native of Clare Castle and member of the Society, I feel that it is opportune to make the results of research pertaining to the Parish available to the people of Clare Castle and Ballyea. © Eric Shaw 2011 – 2nd Edition I dedicate this publication to my wife Breda who assisted in recording many of the gravestone inscriptions, to our children Anne and Aidan, and our Grandchildren, Stephen, Chloe, Aoife & Seán. The water-colour above of the Semple Bridge and the Castle was painted by Fr. Edward Fitzgerald, C. C. Clare Castle 1950- 1955. It was presented by him on his leaving the Village in 1955 to Margaret & Frank Power of Main Street (courtesy of Francis Power) The back cover features a drawing of the Lyons grave of 1816 in Killow Cemetery by Hilary Gilmore 1 INTRODUCTION This publication provides an invaluable record of parish gravestone inscriptions and complements the digitalising of our parish records, which is now underway. As gravestones deteriorate with the passage of time this record will preserve parish gravestone details for this and future generations. Parishioners at home, our diaspora and the public at large will benefit greatly from the preservation of family gravestone inscriptions. The Parish is indebted to Eric Shaw and the Clare Roots Society for their outstanding contributions in bringing this publication to fruition.
