Book excerpt: "A wit once said, 'British relations with Ireland have always been based on mutual understanding and trust; we don't understand them and they don't trust us.' This book is an attempt to show how this came about in the context of one of the most prominent and numerous Irish families ... from both an historical and genealogical standpoint. It succeeds O'Donoghue's study of the same family published 126 years ago, which has long been unobtainable." (front fly-leaf).

Download or read book Brehon Laws written by Jo Kerrigan and published by The O'Brien Press Ltd. This book was released on 2020-03-16 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating look at the lifestyle and values of ancient Ireland Thousands of years ago, Celtic Ireland was a land of tribes and warriors; but a widely accepted, sophisticated and surprisingly enlightened legal system kept society running smoothly. The brehons were the keepers of these laws, which dealt with every aspect of life: land disputes; recompense for theft or violence; marriage and divorce processes; the care of trees and animals. Transmitted orally from ancient times, the laws were transcribed by monks around the fifth century, and what survived was translated by nineteenth-century scholars. Jo Kerrigan has immersed herself in these texts, revealing fascinating details that are inspiring for our world today. With atmospheric photographs by Richard Mills, an accessible introduction to a hidden gem of Irish heritage

Download or read book The Ancient Celtic Ancestry of the O Brien Family written by Gerald A. John Kelly and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by Gerald A. John Kelly, former Adjunct Professor of Irish Language and Culture at Fordham University, this book explores the untold story of the ancestors of the O'Brien family of Thomond for over a millennium before they took the surname Ó Briain. Long considered lost, these are the genealogical secrets of the Celtic Iron Age and Migration Period. To tell this story, the book accesses the mass of information preserved in the Irish Language since the 7th century in Ireland's most important genealogical manuscripts. These manuscripts had been hidden away in a handful of collections since the physical and cultural genocide of the Gaeil in the 17th century, and were therefore inaccessible until recently to almost all Irish, their diaspora, and their genealogists. Happily, these Irish Language manuscripts have finally been set in type and published after waiting between 350 and 850 years. Because this book uses and translates into English this ancient but newly-available genealogical tradition as it relates to the O'Briens of Thomond, it is the first of its kind about the O'Briens in the modern era. Physical description - This is the Deluxe Paperback Edition of 202 pages, 7 X 10 inch format, including 20 color illustrations and comprehensive indexing.
