HISTORICAL NOTE
Riobard O’Dwyer, a retired National School teacher, of Eyeries, County Cork, Ireland is a
genealogist and social historian who studied the families of the Beara Peninsula. The Beara
Peninsula is located in southwest Ireland between Kenmare Bay and Bantry Bay. The peninsula
is divided into four civil parishes (Kilcaskan, Kilcatherine, Killaconenagh, and Kilnamanagh)
and six Catholic parishes (Adrigole, Allihies, Castletown, Eyeries, Glengarriff, and Kilcatherine).
Common surnames include Blake, (O')Brien, Connolly, O'Connor, Cronin, Crowley, O'Driscoll,
Goggin, Harrington, (O')Leary, Lynch, McCarthy, (O')Sullivan, (O')Shea, and Twomey. Families
from the Beara Peninsula immigrated to the United States and Great Britain with lesser amounts
going to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and a few other countries. The families who
immigrated to the United States went primarily to New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
but also Illinois, Montana, New Jersey, California, Iowa, Arizona, Connecticut, and New
Hampshire.
For more than fifty years, Riobard travelled the highways and byways, interviewed all those of
the living and the several old people long since dead and gathered their stories, studied the
Church records of every Parish in the Beara Peninsula and went through many overgrown
cemeteries studying the headstones. He published the four volume Who were my ancestors
between 1976 and 1989 and he published the three volume Annals of Beara in 2009.
Riobard lectured in Boston, Salt Lake City, etc., on his work, and in fact he entertained both crew
and passengers with a selection of Irish traditional music on his accordion on the flight between
Butte and Salt Lake City (he is an accomplished musician and performed for several broadcasts
of Irish traditional music on the accordion). Riobard took part in Butte, Montana, in the making
of the Film "From Beara to Butte", which was based on his work about the copper miners who
emigrated there from the Allihies copper mines in Beara.
Although not reflected in this collection, Riobard O’Dwyer is also known for winning seven All-
Ireland triple jump championships including five championships in a row (still an Irish Record).
He also won Cork, Kerry, Wexford, Munster, and Leinster Championships. He still holds the
County Wexford triple jump Championship by jumping two feet out over the end of the pit on
one occasion and he was also Irish Chief Coach for the triple jump. He won Cork, Munster, and
Colleges medals in football, and wrote a history of football in the Beara Peninsula.

2  SCOPE AND CONTENT
The Riobard O'Dwyer Papers contains genealogies, vital records, cemetery records, occupations,
and notes. The genealogies include 155 composition notebooks organized by townland with
compiled genealogies. The handwritten genealogical sketches for the families that lived in the
townland focus on family groups: husband, wife, and their children. The data for each husband
and wife includes the names of their parents, baptism date and place, marriage date, officiant,
witnesses, death date, cause, and may include comments from oral history. Typical data for the
children include birth date, baptism date, priest's and sponsor's names, and often include notes
about occupation, emigration, marriage, or death.
The transcribed vital records include Adrigole Parish (baptisms, 1855-1996; marriages,
1831-1995; deaths, 1864-1979); Allihies Parish (baptisms 1820-2002, marriages 1823-2002,
deaths 1864-1965); Castletown & Bere Island (baptisms, 1819-2002; marriages, 1817-2005;
deaths, 1864-1986), Eyeries Parish (baptisms, 1843-1927; marriages, 1823-2007; deaths,
1864-2007); Glengarriff & Bonne (baptisms, 1830-1997; marriages, 1831-1997; deaths,
1864-1998), and Kilcatherine (baptisms, 1928-2007; deaths, 1965-1991).
The collection includes transcriptions from Church of Ireland records (baptisms, 1787-1903;
deaths, 1807-1981). There are also Church of Ireland marriages for Berehaven (1805-1929),
Parish of Glengarriff (1864-1955), and Parish Church Kilcaskin (Adrigole) (1847-1929).
The cemetery records are transcribed tombstone inscriptions from local cemeteries including
Ballaghbue, Cahermore, Dromlave, Dursey Island, Fiachna, Kilcaskan, Kilcatherine,
Rossmacowen, St. Finian, and St. Michael's Cemetery.
There are fifteen composition notebooks that contain data on occupations such as army,
clergymen, coastguards, farmer, labourer, light keepers, miners, police officers, schoolmasters,
and scripture readers taken from Church of Ireland records.
The notes section includes some historical material on the parishes and printed copies of
Riobard’s posts to the Beara listserv on Rootsweb especially those concerning “Stories from
Beara” and “Names and variants of the Beara Peninsula”. There are also photocopies of tithes
lists and [Sir Richard Griffith’s] “Primary valuation of Tenements, County Cork, Part of the
Barony of Beare, in the Union of Castletown”.

    1. None at this time. There is interest in a digital version, but no funding to pay for it.

  2. AND is there so much as an alphabetized index available in any form? It's a great work, but finding you people in it means turning every single page...or is there a better way?

  3. There's an effort underway involving summer interns to produce an index, but it's slow going.

  4. The Annals of Beara Volume II has been a great resource in doing genealogy research for my family. Who should I contact to update information about my Grandmother in the text? Is anyone doing this?

  5. any chance of seeing this work? In my genealogical research I have three brothers, sons of Charles Thomas of the Dalcoath mine Henry, Charles and William Thomas that came over from Cornwall and I believe there are some details of them? I would like access to the book or better still purchase a copy but can't fin anything online.

    Can you help please

    Thank you

    1. Hi Keith,

      I only just noticed your comment. Sorry to be so long in replying. I just did a text search of my electronic version of the Annals of Beara for the three names you mentioned, and nothing showed up. For access to the full collection at NEHGS you might try contacting them directly via their website at americanancestors.org. I'm not a member of the organization so I can't say what they might be offering.

  6. Thanks for your reply Bill. Henry Charles and William were very prominent in the Mines of West Cork all of them being mine captains/agents of the various mines. William is buried on the peninsula and Henry married Mary Anne Notter in 1845 at Goleen. William's son John was also a mine Captain both on the Peninsula and in Kerry. Williams daughter Kitty(Kate) Thomas married Francis McGillicuddy in Kenmare 1855. I was interested in obtaining a copy of the Late Riobard O'Dwyers genealogical book on the Beara Peninsula, but your response is making me think there is not much point? Given the prominence that this family had in the mines I am surprised that you were unable to find any reference to any of them. Please contact me on kandethomas@gmail.com if you can give any more information

  7. OMG... I`m in shock!!! I just got my book, The History of The O`Sullivan Clan, The Royal Blood of Gaelic Ireland.... I have no words to explain how I feel... I finally found so much family info...
    My great great grandparents came from County Cork and surrounding area... and settled in Butte Montana in 1800`s for awhile. My great grandfather was born there in 1888. Later they moved to the Jocko Valley and then to the Flathead.

    1. Hello, have you done any DNA testing on Ancestry or elsewhere? My great great grandfather Denis Sullivan was from County Cork and the surrounding area and I have DNA matches from the Butte, Montana area. I'd be interested to see if we have a DNA match.

  8. Welcome to the page. There are, indeed, a LOT of people in the US who descend from immigrants who came from Beara. Sullivan is by far the most common surname on the Beara peninsula.

    1. As you know, there are lots and lots of O'Sullivans from Beara. If you could give me the names of your O'Sullivan ancestors, and their branch names if you know them, I'll see what I can find in the Annals of Beara.
