The historic photograph comes just weeks after President Obama's second cousin once removed - Dean Dillard - discovered the date of Falmuoth's death, March 21, 1878, and his final resting place at Labette County's Fairview Cemetery in Kansas. "He had done a masterful job of keeping his secrets to himself - until now," she said.
If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answered it. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious. The evil that men do lives after them The good is oft interrd with their bones. I have come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. However, locating a photograph of "Fully" through the years has been incredibly difficult for Ms Smolenyak. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. "Falmouth and his sister, Margaret, followed in 1850, and his mother and two younger siblings in 1851 - a classic, chain migration pattern found in countless families," she said, adding that Falmouth was known to his family as "Fully". , Falmouth's father, Joseph Kearney, left Ireland for the United States in 1849, after inheriting land from a brother in Ohio. Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous. The evil that men do lives after them The good is oft interred with their bones So let it be with Caesar. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. "It was seven years ago when I identified Falmouth Kearney of Moneygall, Ireland as the most recent immigrant on the maternal side of Barack Obama's family tree." Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. Writing on her Huffington Post blog, Ms Smolenyak confirmed the connection. Inside, she discovered the portraits of Falmouth and his wife Charlotte, which she then sent to genealogist Megan Smolenyak - who originally traced Barack Obama's roots to Falmouth in 2008, eventually leading to Barack Obama's visit to Ireland in May 2011. The exciting revelation caused her to rummage some old family photo albums that she inherited from a great aunt - aged 107 years. The picture of Falmouth Kearney, from Moneygall, Co Offaly, was discovered by President Obama's third cousin once removed - Merlyn White - who just recently learned of her connection to the Obamas while visiting a distant relative in Scotland. And there is a distinct family resemblance. Of Denison and Goodchild, alas, I know nothing, so I'm not in a position to comment on the quality of their translations, but I will say that commodate mihi aures vestras, though a literally exact translation of the English, feels far too metaphoric for Latin, which tends to be a very concrete language.A Photograph of US President Barack Obama's great-great-great Irish grandfather has been found - after 136 years. Goodchild there they are rendered:Īvellanus was a native Latin speaker, but I don't know the extent to which he futzed with his writers' material in the Praeco Latinus. The other, from an 1899 issue of Praeco Latinus edited by Arcadius Avellanus, is by C.
One, from 1856, is by Henry Denison the relevant lines are rendered:Īmici, Cives, Quirites, commodate mihi aliquantisper aures vestras: adsum ut efferam Cæsarem, non ut laudem. (I would leave this as a comment but it's too long, so.)įor what it's worth, there seem to be two translations of Julius Caesar into Latin, and both are useless for determining what's "correct" here, since they use plural nouns, which would be the same whether nominative or vocative.
