For what it's worth ...
There is another way to find origins of names, if anyone is
willing to spend a few $$ ..
I receive a newspaper (National Hibernian Digest) which has
a question and answer section on the origin of names.
Ie. Could you please give me information on the name _________.
You can wait for months to have your question answered and published
in the paper, or you can send $10.00 for an immediate reply.
Here's what it says at the bottom of the Question & Answer Section:
If you desire an immediate reply to your request please send
a stamped, self-addressed envelope and a check for $10.00
(ten dollars) to: Prof. Robert T. Meyer
Box 255
Division of Celtic Studies
The Catholic University of America
Washington D.C. 20064
The money is use to buy books for the Celtic collection.
p.s. This newspaper is published "quarterly" so it could take
a loooooooooooooong time before your request is published.

| You could also ask in the genealogy notes file (CLT::Genealogy,
I think) and check in a genealogical library.
If you can find a family history by someone of that name, the
derivation of the surname--according to the author--is often given.
The NEHGS library in Boston and the DAR library in Washington, DC
are good resources on names.

Dennis,
Do you have anymore details as to where in Cork?
Martial Law was instituted in Cork on December 20, 1920.
The months after saw a lot of activity on both sides. Strickland,
the Military Governor in Cork issued a proclamation on Jan 3, 1921
which called for the people to refuse food and shelter, aid and
comfort to the Irish Volunteers. Citizens failing to obey would be
"dealt with summarily". An attitude of neutrality was inconsistent
with loyalty and an would render the the person liable under the order.
Tom Barry refers to the period in Feb, 1920 as a particularly
black period for the column for in 12 days in February he lost
eleven officers and men. After an appeal to the High Court, six
men were executed in Cork of Feb 28, for possession of firearms.
In addition, there were incidents all around Cork.
During the period from Jan 21, 1921 to March 31, 1921 the
casualties were estimated at; Crown Forces killed 174, wounded 288;
Irish Volunteers and civilians , killed 317, wounded 285.
In any of my library sources , I don't find specific
references to any Ahern. You could try files of the Cork Examiner
for that date.

>Do you have anymore details as to where in Cork?
No, just Cork. I assume the City, not the county. There were several
other men killed that day, but I didn't write downm the other names.
These names, I believe, are listed on some memorial tablet in the city,
but I don't know any further details.
>You could try files of the Cork Examiner for that date.
I don't know offhand if there are any Libraries or archives in the
Boston, Mass. area that have microfilms of the Cork Examiner. I might
look in The Boston Globe for that week and see if they refernce a
particular event.
