The earliest new obit is for John Ahern of Brisbane, Australia, 14 October 1871, He was 32, the third son of Mrs. Ahern, proprietess of the Sportsman's Arms hotel. The most recent new obituary is from yesterday for my cousin, Alan F. Ahern, of Medford, Masschusetts. Although he died in Medford, it was only a mile or two from the house he grew up in in Arlington, which was only a few blocks from the house I grew up in. His grandfather, Frank Ahern, and my grandfather Dennis were brothers. When Frank's family got burnt out in the Great Chelsea Fire of 1908, they moved in with my grandparents on Webster Street for a few years until they could find a place to rent, but moved back in a few years later when Alan's grandmother died. This all happened before my time and I only met Alan a few years ago. He told me he remembered they used to come to our house every year at Christmastime. See family of Frank Ahern and Nellie Fermoyle for more.

Today is December 25th. On this date in 1945, according to the index of Aherns in U. S. Patent Office Files, Mildred Agnes O'Hern of Chicago, Illinois, was issued a patent for her invention of a new improved design for women's or children's panties. Odd, isn't it, to think of the Patent Office working on Christmas? Was there no holiday for Federal workers in 1945?If you enter Christmas in the search engine of the Ahern website you will find many stories of the Aherns and Christmas. One story that's not on our website, but which has an Ahern connection, is a letter to the editor of the Cork Examiner about conditions in the Workhouse in Mallow, County Cork, on Christmas Day in 1856. The Ahern connection is that my great-great-grandfather, John Ahern, was a charter member of the Board of Guardians of the Mallow Poor Law Union and was on the committee that oversaw construction of the workhouse. I'd like to think he was no longer serving on that board at the time of this letter.
On a happier note, see a picture of me with Santa Claus, circa 1948. I wish for all of you the joys of Christmas past.

Today is November 28th. On this date in 1942, Bob and Betty Ahern, of Arlington, Massachusetts, made plans to go out on the town with another couple. They considered one of the hot new clubs, but Bob, who supplemented his wages from the gas company by playing as a drummer at various Boston nightclubs, said the food wasn't any good there and that they made all their money on the liquor. So, they went to another club elsewhere in town. The club they didn't go to was the Cocoanut Grove and 492 people lost there lives there that night. I was born 51 weeks later, and so we have my father's stomach to thank for this website. While no Aherns were listed among the victims, a Francis Ahern was one of the police stenographers who recorded witness statements from survivors.The Ahern obituary page has now passed the 5,250 mark. The earliest new obituary is for 20-year-old Thomas Ahearn, son of John Ahearn, of Altoona, Pennsylvania, who died of consumption, 5 November 1880.

Today is October 27th. On this date in 1874, according to Naturalizations of Aherns in New England, at Denis Ahern and John Ahern of Boston became American citizens. Denis was born in Ireland on 15 March 1850 and John was born there on 17 May 1847. If you examine the list of Ahern naturalizations, you will find the majority became citizens in October. That was so they could vote in November. It was by exercizing the right to vote that the Irish gained power and influence to make a better life for themselves and their families. Today, they tell us our vote only counts if we live in Ohio, or some other "battleground" state. I'd like to think it still matters, no matter what state you live in. If you are a citizen of the United States, please vote.Jim Aherne, who invited me to join Macnas in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Galway in 2005, has written to ask for our support in a production they are doing on the life of Grace O'Malley, alias Granuaile, the pirate queen who stood up to Elizabeth I. Donations of any size are welcome. See Fundit for details on how to contribute.

Today is August 5th. On this date in 1890, Lieutenant George Patrick Ahern left Fort Shaw in Montana at the head of a detachment of Black soldiers, two Indian guides, two prospectors, two mountain men, and a college professor on what would be an exploration and mapping expedition of uncharted territory in what is now known as Glacier National Park. See "Lieutenant George Patrick Ahern and Glacier National Park".This week the eyes of the World are on the Olympics in London. There have been several Aherns who have competed in past Olympic games. One of them, Dan Ahearne, world record holder for the hop, step and jump, made headlines at the 1920 Summer games in Antwerp, not for his athletic prowess, but for being the cause of a near walkout by the entire American team. The cause of this mutiny was the suspension of Ahearne for breaking curfew. But it was only because he left the schoolhouse the team was boarded in and went looking for a decent hotel where he could get a good meal and a night's sleep. Unlike the pampered athletes of today's Olympics, the American team in 1920 were threated rather shabbily. Having spent two weeks at sea on a cramped troopship they were put of in dormitories in a school. The food was not adequate. When Catholics refused the meat they were served on a Friday, they were given a single sardine each. That was too much for Dan. When he refused to return to the team quarters, he was stripped of his uniform and credentials. After a noisy meeting of the athletes and the committee, Ahern agreed to apoligize and was reinstated. The U. S. Navy stepped in to provide accomodations and food. Ahern didn't win any gold, but he sure got noticed. For his story see Dan Ahearn, Olympic Athlete.

Today is May 13. Lieut. Colonel George Patrick Ahern died on this date in 1942. He had an interesting life. Brooklyn-born to Irish immigrants, he got an appointment to West Point and graduated at the bottom of his class in 1882. He was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in a colored infantry regiment on the Western frontier, where he became translator and secretary to Chief Sitting Bull in captivity at Fort Randall. In the peace that followed the last of the Indian wars he led an expedition into uncharted territory in what is now Glacier National Park, where he gave names to the Ahern Glacier, Ahern Pass and Ahern Peak, and other features. In Cuba during the Spanish-American War he led a rescue mission for which each of the three enlisted men with him were awarded the Medal of Honor, but he was not due to an army snafu. A protege of conservationist Gifford Pinchot, he was sent to the Philippines where he was appointed Director of the Bureau of Forestry. When native tribesmen murdered one of his foresters, he led an expedition into the jungle to arrest the perpetrators. He saw action at the relief of Peking in the Boxer Rebellion. During WWI he was first assistant to the Chief of Military Intelligence and afterwards became Secretary of the Army War College. Some of these stories can be found on our Ahern Placenames in Glacier National Park page. On our Aherns in the News page there are 67 news stories about George Patrick Ahern. Other sources not yet transcribed include correspondence at the University of Oklahoma at http://digital.libraries.ou.edu/whc/nam/manuscripts/Campbell_WS_107_4.pdf in which he responds to an author writing a book about Sitting Bull.The Ahern obituary page has now passed the FIVE THOUSAND mark.

Today is April 15th. On this day one hundred years ago, R.M.S. Titanic was lost after striking an iceberg. The closest any Aherns came to being on the Titanic was when Brian Aherne, the actor, portrayed Captain Smith in the 1953 movie "Titanic" starring Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck. The only other connection is that, when I am not maintaining the Ahern website, I give lectures on the Titanic. The past few weeks have been very busy for me as I have given two lectures and have been interviewed by three newspapers in Massachusetts, one in North Carolina, and another in New York.The Ahern obituary page has now passed the 4950 mark. The earliest obit is for Jeremiah Ahern, a native of County Cork, Ireland, aged 64, who died in San Francisco, 6 May 1895. The most recent new obituary is for Margaret F. (McCarthy) Ahearn, of Randolph, Massachusetts, 20 March 2012.

Today is March 17th, St. Patrick's Day. On this date in 1902, it was reported that William O'Hearn, President of the Limburger Cheese club, of Louisville, Kentucky will protest the order by the city health officer prohibiting the sale and manufacture of Limburger cheese.In my last email, introducing the new index of Aherns arriving in UK ports, I used the example of James Ahern, aged 100, of Coolgarten, Magazine Road, Cork, sailing in 1958 on the Ivernia from New York to Liverpool. In reply I got the following message from one of our subscribers: "The ships manifest record is definitely that of my uncle James Ahern and his wife Amelia. His birth date was 1897 not 1857 as written on the manifest. I suspect that they were returning from a visit to their son Sean Ahern who was living in NY I think." I checked the image of the passenger list and it is a typewritten page, clearly giving his date of birth as "15.5.1857" The error is in the original document and not in a transcription, and should have read "15.5.1897". In genealogy it's always a good idea to question the accuracy of information.
The Ahern obituary page has now passed the 4,925 mark. The earliest new obituary is for the Rev. Father Paul Ahern, of Flatbush, New York, 7 October 1870. The most recent obituary is for Marie (Barrett) Ahern, of Hyde Park, Massachusetts, 15 March 2012.
You may notice what seem to be familiar news stories listed in the updates. Oftentimes different newspapers, reporting on the same event, include details not found in other reports.

Today is March 4th. According to Gravestone Inscriptions in Killeagh, Co. Cork, Daniel Ahern's father-in-law Edmond Power died on this day in 1826 at the age of 70 years.I've added a list of 1,824 Ahern from Passengers Arriving In The UK 1878-1960. While there are 1,824 entries, some of them are repeats. Frequent travelers include Brian Aherne, actor, who crossed the Atlantic seven times. Civil Servant Christopher D. Ahearne arrived on eight different voyages from the Far East, Bombay, Singapore and Penang. Some Aherns only traveled between Ireland and England. Many came from Australia and New Zealand. Missionaries from Africa came home for visits. Various ports in South America are represented. Many Aherns were listed as Distressed British Seamen. During wartime this may be that their ship had been lost and they were picked up by a vessel on its way to the UK. The address of their destination was often recorded, particularly in the 20th century. From this we can learn, for example, that James Ahern, aged 100, of Coolgarten, Magazine Road, Cork, sailed in 1958 on the Ivernia from New York to Liverpool. And in a recently added news item about John Ahern and his wife and daughter Olive taking a trip to Ireland, I was able to learn from this list that Olive was 9 and John's wife's name was Mary. John was 38, his middle initial was J., his wife 36 and he was foreman where he worked.

Today is April 24th. On this date in 1854, according to Aherns Arriving at Atlantic and Gulf Coast Ports (except New York) 1820-1874, 19-year-old Morris Ahern arrived in Philadelphia from Ireland on the Tonawanda. Also on this date in 1916, a band of patriots occupied the General Post Office in Dublin and declared Ireland to be a republic. They failed, but the execution of their leaders by the British inspired others to take up the cause. April seems to have been a popular month for rebels. It was on April 19th 1775 that militiamen in Massachusetts resisted the King's troops and launched the American Revolution. Eighty-six years later, secessionist forces fired on Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor commencing a Civil War that would last for four years. In an odd coincidence, the first casualties from hostile fire in the Civil War occurred the following week when a regiment of Massachusetts militiamen were attacked by a mob while passing through Baltimore on their way to defend the capitol in Washington. Four soldiers were killed and nine civilians, and it was on April 19th, the 86th anniversary of the first casualties of the Revolutionary War. The Baltimore Riot is one of the subjects I lecture on.In recognition of the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, I've added 31 names to the index of Aherns in Confederate Muster Rolls.
On the Aherns in Irish Records page I've added a list of Aherns killed in World War I from "Ireland's Memorial Records 1914-1918". I've also added marriages to the records of Aherns at St. Colman's Cathedral in Cobh, County Cork. The latter thanks to Colman Ahern for his transcription from the original parish records.

I turned off the form which meant you had to email me directly to submit updates or new entries. I've now turned it back on and would encourage any of you who are researching your Ahern genealogy to check to see if your details are up to date. And anyone who has not previously posted their research subjects is now welcome to do so.

You can read about his experience that day on our website along with several other news items of his time with Reagan as candidate and as President.

Today is March 17th, St. Patrick's Day. It was on this date in 1998 that I set up the Ahern website. Since then it has had over eighty thousand visitors searching for information about Aherns. Also on this date, according to the Records of Canadian Aherns Who Served in World War I Patrick O'Hearn was born in 1895 in Tipperary, Ireland. His exact date of birth should perhaps be taken with a grain of salt. Many Irish did not know their actual birthdate and it was not until they applied for citizenship, or enlisted in the service that it became important. Many Irish Catholics simply chose St. Patrick's Day as their official birthday.The Ahern obituary page has now passed the 4,400 mark. The earliest new obituary is for 1-year-old Elizabeth Jane, youngest child of John and Laetitia Ahern of Wellington, New Zealand, 25 January 1886.

Today is November 22nd. On this day in 2002, Christopher O'Hearn, head of content development at the Associated Press Television News in London, announced the restoration and digital re-mastering of the so-called "Muchmore film", one of only three films that show the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. Those of us who are old enough, remember where we were when President Kennedy was murdered. I remember I was lying on my stomach, firing an M1 rifle. It was at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center outside of Chicago and my company of recruits was on the rifle range, our first class of the afternoon. A voice with a decidedly Southern drawl came on the loudspeaker saying "Now cease fire. Cease firing on the firing line. President Kennedy has been shot and killed in Dallas, Texas. Now commence firing on the firing line. Commence firing on the firing line." When the class was over we were ordered back to our barracks, the remaining classes having been cancelled. Boot camp is a very isolated place. We had no access to newspapers, television, radio, or even calendars. We may as well have been on another planet for all we knew of what was going on in the world. Could this be war? We had no idea. It was only at lights-out when someone said "This date will go down in history, November 22nd." that I realized it was my birthday.The Ahern obituary page has now passed the 4,275 mark. The earliest new obituary is for Maurice Ahern of Renelagh, Dublin, 27 November 1926. The most recent new obituary is for Jennifer Lynn (Sargent) Ahern of Concord, New Hampshire, 8 August 2010.

Military Records for other Aherns who should be remembered on Veterans Day, November 11th.I'd like to mention my friend, Norman Mongan's latest book, "A Century Of Silence" which has now been published in the U.S. As a boy in Ireland he used to wonder why his grandfather avoided talking about his siblings who had emigrated to America. In 1979 he came across a photo hidden inside a family album on the back of which was written "Mary Mongan, Boston, USA". It was this photo that led him on a 30-year quest to find the story of his American cousins. This book tells the tale, including some Ahernes in Massachusetts.

The official launch of the service was carried out by Minister for Tourism Mary Hanafin at Google's European headquarters in Dublin. Google acknowledged that some areas were not covered for a variety of logistical reasons which might have been as simple as parked trucks obscuring houses. It was widely noted that some of Limerick's problem housing estates are not covered. It has also been reported that, while faces have been blurred, the software was less successful in blurring the exposed bottoms of two teenagers outside a house in Ballinteer in south Dublin."

Today is October 11th. Thirty years ago today, our son, Andrew Dennis Ahern, was born. And in a forecast of things to come, he took his own sweet time making his appearance. For a take on his perception of the world, see a letter of his published in the Boston Globe when he was a senior in high school.The Ahern obituary page has now reached the 3,775 mark. The earliest new obituary is for Tipperary native Thomas Ahern who died at Grey River, New Zealand, 20 March 1893. The most recent obituary is for Rockport artist Martin R. Ahearn, who died September 27. Martin's family had lived near us in Arlington before they moved to Rockport where we also had a summer home. Although I never found any connection between our families, I always thought of Martin as being a cousin and enjoyed stopping in his gallery in Rockport to look at his paintings. He did a lot of his painting on trips to Ireland. I've set up a memorial page for him so you can see some of them.
