Irish Names on the Map of Ireland in
“The Annals of Ireland by the 4 Masters”

resource link: http://www.irishroots.com/id4772.htm

The Annals of Ireland by the Four Masters (1846), Connellan Translation, contains a large foldout map showing the locations of Irish Families. The map was by Dr. MacDermott, and remains the gold standard for Irish family maps, as the first of the modern genre. I have included that same large folding map in volume two of the Annals, which we have recently published. You may have to remember that the spelling of names have changed over time when looking for your family.
Here are the names given on the map in the Annals of the Four Masters, (Connellan translation) by county. No other edition of the Annals has a map as comprehensive as this one. This map is included only in our current edition of the Annals of Ireland by the Four Masters (see link above).

Codes and Abbreviations
The abbreviations after the names are given on the original map. E stands for Earl; V stands for Viscount; L stands for Lord; C stands for Chief; P stands for Prince; K stands for Knight; B stands for Baron. Please note that this map is only in the original edition of the Annals as published by Connellan, several years before the excellend O’Donovan translation. A few of you have written to say they could not find the map in the Annals, and the problem was that you were
looking in the O’Donovan translation of the Annals of Ireland by the Four Masters.
Even this map, the largest compiled, does not show all the families given in the Annals of the Four Masters. It does show however, leading septs in each county. You will have to do some reading to find out the details on your family !

The above names found only in the Annals by Connellan:
http://www.irishroots.com/id4772.htm

The abbreviations after the names are given on the original map. E stands for Earl; V stands for Viscount; L stands for Lord; C stands for Chief; P stands for Prince; K stands for Knight; B stands for Baron. Please note that this map is only in the original edition of the Annals as published by Connellan, several years before the excellend O’Donovan translation. A few of you have written to say they could not find the map in the Annals, and the problem was that you were
looking in the O’Donovan translation of the Annals of Ireland by the Four Masters.
Even this map, the largest compiled, does not show all the families given in the Annals of the Four Masters. It does show however, leading septs in each county. You will have to do some reading to find out the details on your family !

Well, here is what I was told many decades ago,
and I kindly repeat it when the occasion arises.

( I know that some do not sing the song well,
and some do not show it respect when they sing it.
But this is about the song, not the singer.
This is to say why so many people respect it yet today,
despite the scornful ridicule heaped upon them.)

Outside Ireland
Foolishly, I once remarked to my mother how out of touch and sentimental the old Irish songs were. Well, I was taught a quick lesson on that. It was not just the song itself, which was sung by people who lived a much harder life than I had. It was not just about our family who came from Ireland with the old ways. It was about all the people, all the times- good and bad, and the gatherings that went with it. From 19th century immigrant songs to Tin Pan Alley, the Irish way with a song was still with us – it was just growing in a different direction and with good reason ! My Lord, I stood on the shoulders of giants! From that moment on I realized why these songs touched the soul of millions of people, and I slandered them no more…. (I now understood, and included ‘Danny Boy’ on my first album, some 40 years later).

The Book of Irish Families, great & small

Final Edition
When I first put this book together waay back in the 90′s there was no thought of a 4th edition in 2013 ! But here we are, and I imagine this will be the final printing, as time is escaping me.. This final edition has 400 large format pages (8 1/2 x 11), Family Histories, Coats of Arms, and new items like the complete 34 book index to the Irish Family Projects, and family locations from the map of the Four Masters.)

Family Histories
So, we have the 7th printing of The Book of Irish Families, with around 2000 family histories – some running a full column, and some just noted for future reference. (With my library of 3,000 Irish books and the internet to draw from, this book could expand forever.) So within limits of money and time, we also include 700 coats of arms, as we found them, some tattered and torn and several centuries old.

New Master Index added
All 34 books in The Irish Family Project are tied together with this book. The other books in the series are smaller, with more genealogical information, and a few family histories, on a county by county basis. (All 32 Counties in Ireland have their own book in this series!). So then, this book has over 50,000 surnames in the index – for all 34 books in the Irish Families Project and then some. (Just knowing that your name appears in a specific county book, can help narrow a search.)

Location Index
One complete section of the book is the Location Index, most helpful for rarer names and spellings. Here we put our database of Irish names to good use. If you find a name here, it will likely come with the name of a county following it on our list. That county is where we found the name. We included the basic resources like the ’1659 Irish Census’ and the ‘Birth Index of Ireland’ for this part of the book. We also included the variant spelling index, and some older 19th century works. We have many names keyed to a specific Poor Law Union in Ireland, which can also be helpful. A simple asterisk and number follows these names. (Take that number and go to the Poor Law Union index at the end of the section for the district the name is given in.)

Four Masters show locations
We have added another family location aid in this new edition of Irish Families, great & small. We include every family name from the ‘Map of the Four Masters’ as found in our edition of the ‘Annals of Ireland by the Four Masters’. Each name is followed by the county it was shown in on the map found in volume 2 of that work (our Connellan translation, IGF edition).

Free Disc included (free)
I am also including a disc in this edition for the first time. This computer disc has information from one or more of our projects, and is meant to be a helpful introduction some of what we have put together these last 30 years. It is among the first that I have produced, so I do hope you will enjoy it as a free bonus ! (I am putting the CD or DVD disc in the books at random, so each book may have a different bonus with it!).

Launch is June 10, 2013
The book will be on my web site soon (www.Irishroots.com), and I’ll carry a few to the Irish fests in Dublin, Ohio and Louisville, Kentucky this year. I’ll also list it on Amazon with my other titles as soon as time permits! Here is the link to my sold out 3rd edition of the book, but I will ship this new 4th edition if you order from this page, at the old price!
http://www.irishroots.com/id4098.htm

So, for the Irish who still love books, this ones for you !

Irish House Band Update
Our newly formed Irish House band launched
successfully this year, and it is the first
band to perform all Irish language shows
in the midwest, as a matter of fact, I’ve
never heard of it done before in the U.S.
at all! (but I am sure someone has done it?)
The old style Irish songs date back as far as
the 16th century according to some accounts

Sean Nós and Traditional
We perform all Irish language shows, as well
as shows of traditional Irish songs in English.
Of course, we can mix the two as needed for
the occasion! Our current permanent house
members, all of whom do vocals, include:
Mike O’Laughlin also on percussion; Megan
Illidge on Mandolin; and Stevie Davis on
fiddle.

March Launch, Seachtaine na Gaeilge
Below are the first performances we made
in March, all of which were well received in
both Irish and English language formats!
We also played our part in ‘Irish Language Week’
(more like Irish Language month!), and offered to
teach the audience an Irish song or two…
best we could….:

Our Irish Gigs for March 2013

Irish Roots Cafe March 2013 Schedule
Feb. 23 – Browne’s Marketplace KCMO
March 1 -Crossroads Coffeehouse KCMO
March 2 – St. Andrews church (Gladstone)
March 9 – Browne’s Marketplace KCMO
March 9 – Gaelic Mass. KCMO
March 10 – Immaculate Conception/Louisburg, KS
March 16 – Celtic Ranch, Weston, MO

Recording Session Tomorrow
After that opening month, we decided to take
a 30 day break, and are now recording an album
that’s been in the works awhile. (We will of
course, break from recording sessions to
play for you if you’d like!)

Genealogy too!
I made Irish genealogy resources available at
several of our performances – including books
and maps – It’s a habit I can’t seem to break,
and all part of the historical context of what
we do. Speaking of genealogy, that is how I
was introduced to old style Irish song, and
my first reason for appearing at Irish events
around the country.

Irish Festival Season
With the Irish Fests coming up shortly, I should note
that I have sung Sean Nós style songs at the
Dublin Irish Festival tent for Sean Nós; and at the
ceili for the Louisville, KY. Irish Fest.
Hope to return this year, and get the whole group
to perform there too – soon! Two great events to be sure…

March 10, 2013 - Browne’s Irish Market, 7:20 am
For those who have not heard, the oldest Irish business
in North America is located at Browne’s in Kansas City, Missouri.
(see detailed links below for podcasts and details on Browne’s).
Browne’s remains at the heart of the Irish community today
in Kansas City, with a deli; gift shop; and annual Irish Street fair !

(see video above) This morning Browne’s patrons gathered for
traditional Irish Breakfast along with Irish dance and song.
Entertainment included the Irish Roots Cafe house band, a
group with a focus on the oldest of Irish songs, in the
Sean Nós tradition (old style). This style of song is most often
sung solo, with distinctive ornamentation.
Their songs, in the Irish language, date back several centuries,
and are rarely heard. The group alos includes fiddle, mandolin,
and bodhran for other traditional tunes and songs.

For more information on Browne’s; the Irish Roots Cafe band;
and The Irish in Missouri, I have included our links below:

Rare Irish Language band launch !
Things have been way busy here lately, as we
prepared our Irish Language band for launch.
March is the official launch in the Midwest,
performing in Missouri at Kansas City, Gladstone,
and Weston. And in Kansas at Lawrence, and
Louisburg. Our Irish Roots Cafe house band
is off to a great start. We are unique not
only in having all Irish language performances,
but for including our Irish genealogy reference
and book display at many events.

About the Band
The Irish Roots Cafe House Band performs old style
Sean Nós, all Irish Language sets. We also play
English language traditional Irish tunes. You’ll
hear the Irish Bodhran; Fiddle; and Guitar along
with 3 vocalists in our main group. (I’d like to
see some Irish pipes as well! )

Sean Nós song style
Sean Nós means ‘old style’ in the Irish language.
I have many songs that I perform in this style,
solo, in the Irish language, along with a bit
of history to go with the song. The band has
taken many of the old songs and updated them
with some modern styling (‘Sean Nós Nua’).

Traditional Selections in English
We have several sets of Irish music in
in the standard English too! It’s grand
to combine the two – as it’s never quite
been done on this scale in the midwest before.

Band Available
Our performing house band includes Mike O’Laughlin,
Stevie Wilson Davis, and Megan Illidge. You’ll
also often see ‘Laura’, one of our favorite Irish
dancers on hand. Peter Reilly Adams and
Maria Morton are also available for special
performances.
Most of our dates in March have filled up, but
we still have a few days available, including
St. Patricks Day (now St. Patricks day would
be really special with some Irish language
songs – wouldn’t it ?)
A listing of our current appearances is below:

My Review of:
The History of the Families of The Clanna Rory
or Rudricians. Descendants of Roderick the Great,
Monarch of Ireland.

From Ancient Records
in the Libraries of Trinity College and the Royal Irish Acadamy
From Our Native Annals, The publications of Several Learned Societies
and other reliable sources by R. R. Cronnelly

An Early Work on Irish Families
This book includes an introduction with the ancient genealogy of the clan or family and its various branches. Then, each family is documented with history and stories as available. Some families, like Farrell, O’More or Moore and Reynolds, are given many pages of information. Most families get a full page of coverage. A few families, notably O’Mulvey; Neville; O’Connery; Melody; Keogh, and MacRory or Rodgers are given mention, just giving family lands.

This early work on families in Ireland was a groundbreaking publication in Irish genealogy for these families. The complete index to this work is online at IGF Name Index

Introduction to this edition
This work is of interest to family researchers and historians. It is unique in its era, with the early date of its appearance (1864), and in its subject matter of the Clanna Rory. It came into print before the noted 19th century work ‘The Genealogical History of the Milesian Families of Ireland‘. While the current volume by Cronnelly does not have as many names or charts as found in Milesians, it goes more into much more depth for the families of the Clanna Rory. In this, the researcher will find more hope in uncovering his family history. Historians will also find more material to prove or disprove, as the case may be. Our thanks goes out to members of the Irish Genealogical Foundation who have made the reprinting of these two historical works possible. Those involved with the study of Irish books and family research will appreciate the rare nature of this work published in 19th century Ireland. The reader will note the imperfections on these pages, which appear exactly as in the original in our possession. Surviving from the 19th to the 21st century, we hope you will allow for the ravages of time. (copyright IGF 2002. Introduction by Michael C.

Detailed Accounts of Legend or Fact?
This work begins with the existing legends of the earliest times on earth down to the reign of ‘Roderick the Great’ or ‘Rory the Great’, who was a red headed king of Ireland, and them moves into documented historical accounts of each family in Ireland. The Magennises (Guinness etc..) were the senior family of the Irian or Rudrician race – centered in County Down. Families of the Clan Cionga The O’Mores or Moores are given as descended from the Clan Cionga dating back to 1016; the O’Cronnellys of the same Clan came from Louth; The O’Dugans of the Hy Many or Ui Maine, are traced back to Galway and the Sodan; McGowan or Smith are given springing from the Dalariada; The McWards are given as hereditary chiefs to the O’Donnells; Scanlan; Kenny of Meath; Lawlor; Lynch; Maginn; McCartan; O’Carelon and Gray are all given with details and all are of the Clan Cionga.

Families of the Clan Fergus The book then moves on with details of the Clan Fergus down to the 17th century, complete with written description of arms. The Clan Corc comes next, including O’Connor Cork who early had settled in County Clare; also of this clan are given the O’Loughlen Burren with pedigree down to 1600.

Families of the Clan Conmac The Clan Conmac is represented by O’Kiely of West Connaught; MacShanley traced to 1473; MacPrior (Pryor); O’Ferrall, Lords of Analy, of whom several pages are given including pedigrees of the different branches of the family. O’Roddy is also of this clan, traced to 1704 here. The other families of this clan are given along with family history, and they are: McFinvar or Caynor (Gaynor); McCormick; McDorchy (Darcy); Reynolds or McRaghnail which is given with various notes and pedigrees including Thomas and John Reynolds of Dublin, and notes on the family down to 1798; O’Cuinn or O’Quinn and O’Quin of the race of Fergus are included here with many notes as well. The O’Drinans or Drennans are given at the end of this section and noted as having the name changed to Thornton in some cases.
Many of the families above are given with a written description of the arms of the family.

The Final Word Full size 8 1/2 x 11, 90 pages, with heavier parchement cover, from 19th century originals, includes all the families of the Clanna Rory as given. One of the early works of Irish family histories published in Ireland in that century. The companion volumes in this series are: “The Milesian Families of Ireland”; “The Scottish Macs“; and “Irish Genealogies“.

Many researchers will express no interest in an old clan history like this. I, being a fanatic, find it curious and interesting. It is both an early printed work, and perhaps marks the state of the mind at that time for ‘clan’ genealogies.
