  • Byrnes Family History Compiled by Ann Byrnes Alleman
    1 Byrnes Family History Compiled by Ann Byrnes Alleman The Byrnes Family that we know begins in Ireland. There are many Byrnes families in the various counties of Ireland and have been strong members of society there for many centuries. We think that our branch came from the Dublin or Wicklow area. We are still trying to find the Byrnes ancestors and descendants in Ireland. Some literature suggest that the name was “Byrne” until children added an “s” to their name in the mid 1700s when signing legal documents in the Delaware area. Much of the data from the early accounts of the Byrnes Family was obtained from the Delaware Genealogy Society in Wilmington, for this is where they first settled when they came to America about 1730 from County Wicklow in Ireland, just south of Dublin. Byrnes Coat of Arms: Gules, a chevron between three dexter hands, couped at the wrist, argent. Crest: a mermaid in the dexter hand, a mirror; in the sinister, a comb, all proper. Motto: Certavi et vici . Latin. “I have fought & conquered.” Livery colors, Red trimmed silver. These are the arms of Byrnes of Timague, Queen’s County, and Cabinteely; a celebrated Irish Sept, for centuries one of the most powerful and distinguished in the province of Leinster. Frach Mac Hugh O’Byrne, chief of the name temp. Elizabeth, held a high command at the famous battle of Glendalough, in which the English, under the Lord Deputy Grey, were defeated. The present head of the Senior line of the family, the Byrnes of Timogue, is George, Lord de Tabley; the Byrnes of Cabinteely, the second branch, are represented in the female line by Miss Byrnes of Cabinteely, & the male by Robert O’Byrne, esq., was third son of John Byrn of Cabinteely, esq.

Such is the audience--in long clothes or short frocks, in pinafores or kilts, or in the brief trousers that bespeak the budding man--such is the crowing, laughing court, the toddling public that awaits these verses. Every home, large or small, poor or rich, that has a child in it, is a Pinafore Palace, and we have borrowed the phrase from one of childhood's most whimsical and devoted poets-laureate, thinking no other words would so well express our meaning.

Assuming no prior knowledge, the text offers a clear introduction to the traditional topics of structural linguistics (theories of sound, form, meaning, and language change), and in addition provides full coverage of contextual linguistics, including separate chapters on discourse, dialect variation, language and culture, and the politics of language. There are also up-to-date separate chapters on language and the brain, computational linguistics, writing, child language acquisition, and second language learning. The breadth of the textbook makes it ideal for introductory courses on language and linguistics offered by departments of English, sociology, anthropology, and communications, as well as by linguistics departments. RALPH FASOLD is Professor Emeritus and past Chair of the Department of Linguistics at Georgetown University. He is the author of four books and editor or coeditor of six others. Among them are the textbooks The Sociolinguistics of Society (1984) and The Sociolinguistics of Language (1990).
