It was from the western foothills of Mount Brandon, on the Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry Ireland, that my famine era ancestors emigrated.
It is my hope
that in sharing the information found on these pages, others who
are searching Dingle, will find some help in their journey
~back to their own ones.

The Irish Language ~ the
way it's spoken
in the western part of the Dingle Peninsula
If you have ancestors from Dingle
then they probably spoke Irish as their primary language, just as they
do in the West Kerry Gaeltacht area of the Dingle Peninsula
to this day. (Mumhan is the Munster dialect of Irish Gaelic). When
I found out my living Dingle relatives spoke Irish at home, I wanted
to learn a bit of it myself, and researched how I might do that. So
I have a suggestion for you. If you'd like to hear Irish *as they speak
it in Dingle* there's some Irish language CD's that are kinda fun too!
Fios Feasa is a small company right on the Dingle Peninsula, and have among
other things an interactive multimedia CD-ROM called: IRISH
PROVERBS - 501 Irish Proverbs, Sayings, Blessings, Curses, etc. It's
a tool for learning Irish ... especially good I think, because it's
things they say everyday in Chorca Dhuibhne (thats Dingle Peninsula
in Irish). Here is what Fios Feasa told me about it;
"The Irish proverbs CD will help anyone learn the language by listening to native speakers saying native things."

Oh won't you stay, stay awhile
With your own ones.
Don't ever stray, stray so far
From your own ones.
This old world is so cold.
Don't care nothin' for your soul
You share with your own ones.
Don't rush away, rush away
From your own ones.
Just one more day, one more day
With your own ones.
For the world is so cold.
Don't care nothin' for your soul
You share with your own ones.
Bridge:
There's a stranger and he's
Standing at your door.
May be your best friend
Might be your brother,
You may never know.
I'm going back, going back
To my own ones.
Back to talk, talk awhile
With my own ones.
For the world is so cold.
Don't
care nothing for your soul
You share with your own ones.
(THIS NEXT STANZA ADDED BY WATERLILYS; HOPE VAN DOESN'T MIND!)
I'm searching back, searching back
For my own
ones
Back to know, know from where
Came my old ones
For the
world is so cold.
Don't care nothing for your soul
So share with
your own ones.
Dedicated to all those who helped me ~back to my own
ones,
