    Fitzpatrick Clan Society the Clan Quarterly General News We Have

    Fitzpatrick Clan Society The Clan Quarterly General News We have some great news! Our congratulations go to two of our Clans, Ó Maol Phádraig Bréifne - O'Mulpatrick of Bréifne and Mac Giolla Phádraig Ulaid - Mac Gilpatrick of Ulster, on their successful registrations with Finte na hÉireann – the Clans of Ireland. With large Fitzpatrick populations in Bréifne and Ulster, particularly Co. Cavan and Co. Down, who have long been recognised in Irish records and by great Irish scholars, these branches of the wider Fitzpatrick Clan are the first to ever receive the official recognition of the Clans of Ireland. Both Clans are very welcome members of the broader Fitzpatrick Clan Society and both Clans now have the peer recognition from other Irish Clans. You can view the list of Clans registered with Clans of Ireland here: Register of Clans. We have now finalised the Clan constitution, which is posted on the Fitzpatrick Clan Society website. Clan membership numbers are now sufficient such that we are accepting nominations for the Clan Officers. These can be emailed in; please note the cut-off date for nominations is 30 April 2019. A reminder that, provided there are sufficient nominations, the five officers shall preferably number: • One from Ó Maol Phádraig Bréifne - O'Mulpatrick of Bréifne; • One Mac Giolla Phádraig Ulaid - Mac Gilpatrick of Ulster; • One Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraige – Fitzpatrick of Ossory; and, • Two from members who do not identify with any of the three groups named above. Website Updates Be sure to check the Fitzpatrick Clan Society website and the forum page – they are updated regularly.

COLLIE AND SON, PRINTERS, EDINBORGH. : A TREATISE LANGUAGE, POETRY, AND MUSIC HIGHLAND CLANS : ILLUSTRATIVE TRADITIONS AND ANECDOTES, AND NUMEROUS ANCIENT HIGHLAND AIRS. BY DONALD CAMPBELL, Esq. LATE LIKUT. HTTH KEGIMENT. EDINBURGH D. R. COLLIE à SON, 19 ST DAVID STREET. 1862. PREFACE. The religious and civil institutions, and the state of society among the patriarchal or Highland Clans, have been so misunderstood and misrepresented, as to have made on the English-speaking public the impression that these Clans were in a state of lawless barbarity at the dawn of authentic history, and continued in that condition until a period within the memory of men still living. Several untoward circumstances, chiefly resulting from the translation of Ossian's poems, have occurred to confirm this impression. One learned and talented Englishmen, with a direct referenr Lo these poems, contended that such ideas and feelings could not be expressed in the rude gibberish of a barbarous people ; and several English-speaking Lowlanders and Highlanders, taking up this view of the subject, and having the same conviction as to the rude uncultivated character of the language, maintained that the Highland Clans had no poetry, and could not have had any poetry, excepting that which had been recently forged for them in English, by writers of so unscrupulous a character as to father their patched-up plagiarisms on mythic bards, known only to the vulgar lore of a people who had never emerged from a state of lawless barbarity.
  • Genetic Fingerprint for Flannerys of Munster

    Genetic Fingerprint for Flannerys of Munster

    Genetic Fingerprint for Flannerys of Munster Dr. Lorcán J. O’Flannery Flannery Clan Y-DNA Project Administrator [email protected] 1. Introduction There are many people around the world who bear the Irish surnames Flannery and Flannelly, and others who bear the variants Flanary, Flanery and Flenley: hereinafter collectively termed Flannerys for ease of reference. Two questions inevitably arise:- Whereabouts in Ireland did they originate? Are they all genealogically related to each other? The Flannery Clan Y-DNA Project was initiated in October 2003 to provide scientific answers to these questions in a format that can be used by all genealogists tracing their Flannery roots to specific families and specific locations in Ireland. The first phase of the project was a review of existing research into the origins of the surnames. The second phase was an analysis of the distribution of the surnames throughout Ireland using available historical databases. The third phase was a comprehensive Y-DNA testing programme of volunteers around the world spanning over a decade, coupled with conventional genealogical research tracing the Flannery roots of the volunteers. The test results have provided genetic fingerprints for four groups of Flannerys in Ireland, as well as subgroups and individual family lines associated with specific geographical locations. This paper provides a general overview of the results, and a detailed review of the Flannerys of Munster. 2. Historical Background 2.1 Surname Origin Irish genealogy has been blessed by a long succession of historians: from the ancestral bards like Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh of the seventeenth century who wrote in Irish verse in the manner of his forebears, to Victorian scholars like John O’Donovan who recorded family folklore as he travelled from parish to parish with the Ordnance Survey to standardise the spelling of place names.

However if you want to browse this material online with fully functioning links, you’d do better to go to the html version at http://www.stanford.edu/~meehan/sullivan/sull.html 1 Introduction I recently revived this project which I had started twenty years ago. At that time I had decided to profile the entire Sullivan clan from the beginning of time to the 1980s. This led to extended pilgrimages to collect Sullivan stories in places like Castletown Beare and Butte Montana, both famous for Sullivans. In effect I was setting out to recreat the Book of Sullivan, the original of which was last seen in the early nineteenth century. These clan books were menat to preserve the glorius history of the Celtic clan. My research was a lot of fun, sometimes I would have long late- night phone conversations with Sullivans whom I didn’t know or meet them in strange places. Later, I put the project on the internet and thereafter hundreds of Sullivans assisted in the project, recreating chronology (years AD or BC) set forth in this book. Later I got busy with other things but then recently I met an eccentric Sullivan gent sporting a huge gold necklace here in the Robin Hood pub in Bangkok.
  • The Possibility of a Common Mcgrath Origin

    The Possibility of a Common Mcgrath Origin

    The Possibility of a Common McGrath Origin Compiled by Michael F. McGraw [email protected] Revised October 24, 2005 Introduction This paper represents an attempt to organize and document my research into the origins of the McGrath Clans. Since this research is continuing to explore new information, as it is uncovered, this paper will need to be updated periodically. It is my hope that this information will aid others in their research and allow them to go further and to find new information. The original formulation of this paper developed as Liam McGrath (Dunmore East, Co. Waterford) and I exchanged research notes back in 2000 and 2001. I am also grateful to John Cunningham for sharing his insight into the history of the McGraths of Co. Donegal. In the Beginning The McGraths were of Dalcassian ancestry, stemming from Cormac Cas, son of Oilioll Olum, King of Munster in the 3rd century A.D. The name McGrath is derived from Macraith, a surname of ancient Irish origin, which is borne by the descendents of four distinguished septs that, had their common origin in the Kingdom of Thomond in present day County Clare. The Irish surname Macraith is considered to be patronymic in origin, being one of those names derived from the first name of the original bearer. However, in the “The Pedigree of the Dal-g Cais Sept of Mac Craith, MagCraith or Magrath”,1 there is no person named Craith only a Macraith. In the “Wars of Turlough,” authored by Sean McCraith in the mid 14th century his ancestors are referred to as “Clan Craith.” The name McGrath is from the Irish Mac Craith or MacRaith with the prefix Mac denoting the "son of Craith" that means son of grace.

    LOCAL DIASPORA TOOLKIT Commissioned by the Minister for Diaspora Affairs UCD Clinton Institute Office of the Minister For Diaspora Affairs LOCAL DIASPORA TOOLKIT Commissioned by the Minister for Diaspora Affairs Professor Liam Kennedy & Dr Madeleine Lyes UCD Clinton Institute 2015 Office of the Minister For Diaspora Affairs FOREWORD BY MINISTER FOR DIASPORA AFFAIRS, MR JIMMY DEENIHAN, TD When I was appointed Minister for Diaspora Affairs I was very conscious of what could be achieved by building links with Ireland’s dias- pora from local and community level. This is reflected in our first ever Diaspora Policy, Global Irish – Ireland’s Diaspora Policy, which recognises that Irish people have a keen sense of attachment to their place of origin. For many Irish people abroad, it is not just a question of being from Ireland, but which county town and even townland a person is from. The production of this Local Diaspora Toolkit follows on from a commitment in the Dias- pora Policy to develop a practical guide for local authorities and local and community groups to assist in the development of strategies for local diaspora engagement. What has become clear from the research carried out by Professor Liam Kennedy and Dr Madeleine Lyes is that there is a wealth of local diaspora engagement initiatives already underway throughout the country. While this Toolkit doesn’t contain an exhaustive list of these initiatives, it profiles some of the best and most successful and identifies common elements for success. It identifies a clear leadership role for local authorities and gives clear guidance for the development of strategies at county and local level.

The causes of the many waves of migration have been varied. Religious fervour motivated seventh century monks to set about re-Christianising Europe. In the seventeenth century disillusionment and defeat drove the warring Irish nobility to Conti- nental Europe, where they made their mark in the armies of Austria, France and Spain. They were followed to the Continent in the eighteenth century by traders and merchants, while adventurous seafarers left for South America and Newfoundland. Presbyterians from Ulster crossed the Atlantic in their thousands throughout the 1700s to find a place free of trading and religious restrictions. From the eighteenth century, the Irish made up a very large part of the Brit- ish Army which brought Irish men to unexpected places such as India and South Africa. Soldiers were among the first Irish to reach Australia, along with Irish transported convicts, but they were followed by free settlers whose numbers increased throughout the nineteenth century. Emigration to Cana- da and the United States or migration to Great Britain were options pursued by people from all parts of Ireland and all religious denominations before the great catastrophe of the Famine in the late 1840s.
