: Are there any books, articles or other info on the MacConshnamha/Kinneavy family? Are any of the family left in Leitrim? Thank you for any help.<p><br>A Sheáin, a Chara, <p>I would be careful about linking Kinneavy and Mac Conshnámha in every instance. <p>The Ceara people of the form Ó Cinnchnámha have kept their transliterate form (Kineavy, Kinneavy, Kinnevey) in quite a few instances stretching from An Cheathrú Rua to Conga, to Áth Luain/Athlone; Galway - Mayo - Ros Comáin. Woulfe, reading from RIA C VI 2, 166, recognised them, as does the modern phone book! <p>The others : <p>The Teallach Fallamháin people of Muintir Chionnaoith being Mac Conshnámha have lost the initial transliterate form 'Mac Kinnawe', psuedo-translation to 'Ford(e)' being the culprit. Three of their lines from the progenitor, and before, are traced down amongst the Uí Briúin Bréifne into the late 1600s, two generations later than Toirdhealbhach Óg 1584 AD, in The Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, LXIV, (iv, 1934) p. 137, by Prof. Michael V. Duignan. <p>The early generations, from the progenitor back, are :<br> <br> Cú Snámha<br>mac Diarmada<br>mheic Follamain<br>mheic Maoilmordha ofuilit <br>Muinter Mailmordha sunn condreaccait et O Raghallaigh.<p>Which goes to mean that at that point they join up with the people now surnamed Ó Raghallaigh (despite their West Bréifne location). <p>Cú Snámha's floruit would be, at a guess, around 950 AD., which is early. <p>Something tells me that your interest will luy in the south Mayo region, being a Kinneavy. <p>Ádh mór. <p>

My family name was originally named MacConshnamha and they were from Tullynaha, Carrick on Shannon, Co Leitrim. The name was later changed to Forde in the 1700's or 1800's. My second cousin wrote a book about the Parish of Inishmagrath. If you are interested I can send you the title. It was printed in Ireland and written about 40 years ago.<p><br>: Are there any books, articles or other info on the MacConshnamha/Kinneavy family? Are any of the family left in Leitrim?
