Irish Families and Place Names of Munster (2/4)

[@xcrzyyx4831]

im from clare but originally from cork, im half irish half aussie and i find irish history very interesting, pls continue these videos i like them

[@puma1304]

Ciarraighe (Kerry) is where my forefathers O`Shee came from, and from Gaillimh (Galway) were my ancestors O'Fallon. Both migrated to the Basque Country after the cromwelian period, and then younger family members saw service in the Caribbean and the Phillippines (spanish Real Armada). Finally both family branches met in South America where they intermarried between them and also with my basque family branch (multiple unions). Thus Eire, the Basque Country and southern S.America are closely intertwined in my family tree. With my children we will visit Killarney, Cork, Galway and Kilkenny as soon as Covid permits us...

I am going to Ireland with my daughter in March. I am so excited. On ancestry, I traced some of my ancestors to Munster. Their surname was Cross. I wish I could find out more about where they lived and worked. I want to spread some of my mother's ashes there.

My grandmother was a O'Sullivan.

[@ScouserGirl89]

hi, i'm from Liverpool (another irish city basically) and i like the majority of scousers have irish ancestry, i went to ireland a lot during my childhood and i fell in love with ireland at 6 years old and i hope one day to return. i have discovered that my irish ancestry is from north munster :D i am so excited to learn more about my irish history.

[@steveosullivan5262]

Sadly the great O'Sullivan clan was devastated by Oliver Cromwell. We lost a lot battles and many wars, but between the March of The O'Sullivans and the hideous losses at Kinsale, we are but a shadow of our former selves. Not much left of the house of Dunboye My father was born and raised in Castletown Bere, co Cork, my mom was from Mt Mellick, co Leois . Long passed now I am a yank as are my brothers and sisters. They never lost their love of Ireland or the love and respect for the Leary family that help raise my dad. Good people the Irish. Beautiful place.

[@Luftkenza]

My great great grandmother was a Sullivan,sad to hear what happened to them.

[@mickeyh1961]

I'm O Maolagáin my family's kingdom was Tir Mac Carthian same as Mc Carthy

[@debbiehall7016]

My brother-in-law's grandfather was Jeremiah McCarthy/MacCarthy. I believe Jeremiah was born in Hoboken/Hudson, NJ. but i don't know who HIS father was. (Clue? Jeremiah and his wife Alice named their only son; John Joseph McCarthy, b in NY in 1920) Jeremiah married Alice Costine. I found them living with Alice's family w/3yr old John, but could never find Jeremiah again. Any help would be appreciated.

[@willylumpnj]

I too am a McCarthy.

[@mimihean]

Thanks for the information that provided information on the many clans that were part of my family name, Callahan, O'Callaghan in Munster. I appreciate any light shined on my family history.

[@EagleArrow]

My family is Callahan, Sullivan, Barry, O'Brien, Dalton, Cavanaugh. I did my dna... says I'm 70% Munster Ireland. I guess my family didn't venture outside Munster families...ha! Callahan was King in 460's. The Spanish moved the Callahan clan west...something called Callahan Hills. Armenians (Noah's ark landed in Armenia; Mother Mary's grandmother Sarah was Armenian apparently) were forced out/being killed so many tribes went to Ireland.

[@cqk3578]

The son of the chief of the O'Callaghan clan was killed at the battle of Lixnaw in 1568 they numbered about 107 fighters.

[@richern2717]

[@jonsmith5626]

New to the channel but if you haven't already could you possibly do the history of the Gaels in Scotland? I would be curious to learn more about the Dal Raeda and if any Scottish clans can trace their roots to Irish families.

[@calibvr]

Tons of them can

[@mamaboocee]

I have ancient roots in Ireland, the family name of Ryan. Sadly, this is all I know. I am 1/4 irish. Thanks for this glimpse into my family past, a starting point for my research.

[@alisonsimms7344]

I am also a Ryan, on my father's side. My DNA match puts me with 27% from NW Munster

[@mamaboocee]

@@alisonsimms7344 my son had his DNA analyzed and I can find out my Irish roots from his DNA because his father's side of the family has no Irish roots - so anything that comes up from my son is from my side of the family....I have to ask him! Then I will know at least where in Ireland. I thought my grandmother said something about County Cork.

My mums paternal family are Mc Carthys from Cashel ,O'Sullivan's from Beare Island, and Careys from Soloheadbeg. And I'm.a Rossiter,apparently the family is from Wexford..proud Irish Australian.

[@walterkerley1692]

I am part Native American and the predominant remainder Irish from the Mac Kerley's of northern Munster around the southern bank of the river Shannon, that's as far as I got on my own, now to get serious and call in some help.l'd like to know to what Clann we were affiliated, get some good ol' "rediscovered family" vibe communication going on, then nothing left but to make it happen! To think that I cared and knew little about my Gaelic blood and the rich, strong culture estranged from me till my life changing awakening due to Conan comics and even more awesome Cu Chullain, due to my first album from the Greatest Rock Band to come out of Ireland- THIN LIZZY! due to the brilliant Celtic cover art from Ireland's amazing Jim Fitzpatrick! I had become aware. A gift I had just begun to unwrap. And I love the very cool and revealing cultural similarities between the American original and the transplanted Celt, turning him from "Indian" hunter to being responsible for a good percentage of Native American mixed bloods. No good for drinking though. Thanks for the channel, Sinn Fein! Walter Kerley.

[@Joker-yw9hl]

I come from McCarthy but also O'Hehir which interests me because there's scarce information on Hehir compared to so many other Irish names. Also a distant relative of Niall of the nine hostages but so are like 3 million other people

[@thorshammer8033]

Australian here. Great Grandmother was from Killarney.

[@Whitdauthaz]

My second great-grandmother is Honora O'leary, which is funny after I learning of "Hostage Island" because from what I'm getting from my genealogy research, I'm Danish/German and Welsh/Irish. All of my ancestors seem to have found a mate amongst their enemies, we couldn't have hated each other too much Ha Ha!

[@HeedfulHistory]

I’m O’Leary and from my ancestry test I’m 75% Irish 12% Norwegian and 8% Iberian - The rest English😂

[@ianrushsmoustache2282]

My 3x got grandmother was honorah O'Leary nee Crowley from the same place , maybe we're related , I also got 13% Scandinavia

[@sweetdreams3119]

That female name still runs in our family on the O'Leary side. My dad's family was from the Daniel Michael branch that traces ancestors far and wide - Columbia to Australia. From what I can tell, it was a naming tradition for centuries, maybe eons, in the O'Leary clan and I once came across a list of the 'Donals'...Donal of the Tides, Donal of Fair Hair, etc., even a Donal of the Boils! Apparently we carry the genes for hemachromatosis, a problem with iron absorption found mostly in men, and those who suffer from it do get boils. This would make sense in a population highly dependent on iron-rich meat from cattle raising and our family was renowned for it, as the name denotes.

[@royhurley7572]

The O'Hurley clan ( OhUrthuile) is DalCassian from eastern Ireland, but moved into Munster.

Riders of Rohan! :D

[@michaeldunne9882]

My mother (Rohan from Ballyduff, Cloghane, West Kerry) told me that the Rohans were two brothers, one of whom emigrated to Cork and the other to Kerry from Brittany and were originally 'de Rohan' ... the family story (unverified) is that they were French refugees that fled the 1789 revolution. Rohan is one of the 30 French noble names (i.e Cardinal de Rohan, Marie Antoinette & the affair of the diamond necklace) and the Rohans were Dukes of Brittany based around the town of Rohan, Morbihan, Brittany. ... so not originally Irish ...but like the Fitzgeralds have become more Irish than the Irish themselves!

[@Scotia6261]

@@michaeldunne9882 Marie Antoinette was supposed to flee to Dingle and passage was arranged but she believed she wouldn't be touched so stayed on in France.

[@BILLYMORGAN1971]

It pretty much lines up with what Ancestry says about my grandfather's family(Donahue)but spreads out a bit from Central Cork to the south and east. Then again you're talking ancient times and Ancestry is talking basically the last few centuries. So people move around more in later times with all the problems in the 19th century especially.

The Wild Gaels of the mountains of Munster were the McCarthy’s the O’Sullivans, the O’Donahues, and the Moriartys (O’Muircheartaigh). O’Briens came much later than those primordial clans.
