New
Year Resolutions.
One year older! Don't complain.
Many are denied the privilege.
This is the last Newsletter of the year. We all have reached a
milestone on the Road of Life. It's time to get out the map and
assess how we are doing. Many will say "I never make New
Year resolutions". Others say "yes I will, but I know
I will not keep them". God loves a 'tryer'. If we depend
on our own strengths we probably will fail.
As we enter a new year we could ask God for a light so that we
can tread safely into the darkness of the unknown. He will invite
us to put our hand into his, and that will be for us a surer guide
than any light.
No matter how many chapters there are in any of our lives we live
only one life. The end or beginning of any year is a grace-filled
time - a time for thought and a time for course correction. Have
we strayed down byways that lead to nowhere? Who gave us that
life? Where are we going? Are we on course?
Time is so precious. How do I value each moment? Are there things
I have been putting off? Could I make a list of these and prioritise?
Could I plan to have a review at the end of each passing month?
Use of time? How much do I spend on myself? How much do I give
back to God - Who gave it to me in the first place - and how much
do I give to others beside me on the pilgrim path of life?
Use of money and material goods? Of course I have needs, and if
I am a family person so do my family. However, could I raise my
eyes and look beyond at the needs of others too? Do I remember
the Lord highlighting that question on the final examination paper?
He seems to identify with those in need around me, and will judge
me on my care and concern for them!
Prayer and time for God? We all mean well, but life slips by.
Could I set time aside each day for quiet time with Him - time
to reflect, to listen, to talk; to adore, to thank and to ask,
not only for self but for others too, living and dead?
At the end of 2003 what are the areas in my life in which I would
like to see an improvement? Begin right now!
The One-Sentence Sermon:
Give God what is right, not what is left.

Out of the Mouths of Babes
A teacher asked her class to write a note to God. Here's a selection:
Dear God, I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the
sunset You made on Tuesday. That was cool.
Dear God, Instead of letting people die and having to make new
ones, why don't You keep the ones You already have?
Dear God, Maybe Cain and Abel would not have killed each other
if they had their own rooms. That's what my Mom did for me and
my brother.
Dear God, If You watch me in Church on Sunday I'll show You my
new shoes.
Dear God, I bet it's very hard to love everyone in the whole world.
There are only four people in our family and I'm having a hard
time loving all of them.
Motorist's Prayer.
Grant me, O Lord, a steady hand
and watchful eye
That none shall be hurt as I pass by.
Thou gavest life. I pray that no act of mine. May ever mar that
gift of thine.
Shelter those, dear Lord, who bear me company.
From accidents and all calamity.
Teach me to use my car for others' need;
Nor miss through love of undue speed
The beauty of the world, that thus I may
With joy and courtesy go on my way.
St. Christopher, holy patron of travellers,
Protect me and lead me safely to my destiny.
Think About It
Don't let your parents down,
they brought you up.
Be humble enough to obey,
You may give orders some day.
Chose your companions with care,
You become what they are.
Guard your thoughts, what you think
Is what you are.
Be master of your habits
or they will master you.
Pay attention when you drive,
Drive safely and arrive.
Resist pressure, stand up,
Or you'll fall for anything.
Keep God in your life,
He is always there for you.
Prayer
for Vocations
God
our Father, send workers into your harvest. May the Spirit we
received in Baptism touch the hearts of many to offer themselves
in priesthood, religious life, and other forms of service. Give
the parents and families of our parish, the wisdom and courage
to support young people, in searching for and following the call
of God in their lives

My
Great Great Grandparents John Long who married Mary
Davenport, were from Kilmurry. They had 4 children
that I know of, two of whom Peter Long and Denis Long
were born in 1844 and 1846 respectively. I am presuming
therefore that John and Mary would have been born
in the period 1800/1810 approx. I don't have dates
of birth for their two other sons Jack Long who married
a Hannah Linehan in 1871 and Jeremiah Long who remained
unmarried.
I know that Denis Long married Abbey(Gobnait) Sullivan
on the 31 July 1869 in Cloghduve. (This is my line).
Gobnait is supposed to be from Lissarda and was the
daughter of Thomas (Thomas Rua) Sullivan and Mary
Connor. Gobnait was baptised Abigail and she was born
on the 25 November 1848 and she is reputed to have
had 3 brothers Jeremiah, John and James and 1 sister.
Denis Long was living in Kilcondy at the time of his
marriage to Abbey.
I am wondering whether perhaps
it might be possible for me to establish any information
about John Long and Mary Davenport from your Church
records. Any help and assistance which you can give
me in this regard would be very much appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Sean Long

Dear All,
Congratulations on an excellent Website. This is my
first visit and I certainly will be re-visiting.
Now to the purpose of my email. I recently visited Kilmurry
searching for the grave of my grandfather and his people,
but to no avail. They lived in the townland of Castlemore
and despite of our best efforts we found nothing. However
talking to some locals and others since I understand
that Fr Tim O Sullivan of Cloughduv is putting the parish
records on CD. I would be very interested in this when
it is available. Perhaps you could advise me on the
progress of this project.
For the record this is my family history in regards
to Castlemore:
My grandfather, Timothy Sullivan was born in Castlemore
in 1854. We don't know when but he moved to Cork City
where he became an agent for the Prudential Insurance
Company.His first wife, Annie died in 1898. I know nothing
more about her as the only evidence is her death certificate.
He maried his second wife, Hanna Coleman, in 1899. She
was from Glanmire and she was my grandmother.
Timothy died on the 10 May 1927 and the newspaper notice
says that he was buried at 'South Kilmurry' Hence my
searching the local cemetaries.
To fill in the picture the following is the other information
that I have:
Timothy's father was a Patrick Sullivan, born about
1819. His wife's name was Hannah-surname unknown.
In Griffiths Valuation for 1852 his address is given
as Castlemore, parish of Moviddy. He had a house in
fee from Richard T Rye. There were two children that
I know of Timothy, my grandfather, and Daniel, born
1863.
Finally he is shown in the 1901 census at the same address,
with his wife. It states that he is a retired quarryman
and that he is blind.He does not appear in the 1911
census.
I would be grateful if any of your site viewers and
others can add to my information on my Kilmurry connections.
In the meantime I look forward to the CD.
Keep up the good work.
Yours truly
Frank Nash

Dear Sirs:
I am in the process of trying to locate the exact
place in County Cork from which my Buckley ancestors
emigrated to the United States in 1836. On Murthey
Buckley's tombstone is written: "a native of
Ireland, county of Cork, parrish of Conway."
Several years ago, a genealogist in Dublin led us
to believe that "Conway" is the old name
for "Convamore," an estate which lies adjacent
to Ballyhooly. However, Irish researcher Tom O'Leary
recently found information which indicates that "Conway"
is probably a mis-spelling of "Cannaway,"
a civil parish within the Catholic parish of Kilmurry.
So now I am concentrating on Kilmurry, and I find
that at least one Buckley family currently lives in
that village. I would very much like to contact them
and wonder whether you could provide me with their
address. Perhaps they would know of a Murthey and
Catherine Buckley, with young son John Franklin, who
left County Cork in 1836.
Any assistance you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

A
recent posting on your website, "Thomas Desmond
was born in Parish Canavee" is of interest to
me. My great-great grandfather, Thomas Desmond [son
of Patrick Desmond and Hanora Lyons Desmond] is said
to have been born in Parish Canavaa.
Can you tell me where that parish is? He was born
perhaps as early as 1810. John and Patrick Desmond
may have been his brothers, or relatives. Thomas emigrated
to Canada about 1840 and then to the U.S. Any help
you can give me in tracing either the Desmond or Lyons
families will be greatly appreciated.
