1) The original Dowd arms were similar to those shown at the heading of the website but in the lower quarter had a bunch of grapes. They were granted in 1574 to James ODowda of Castleconor. The crest was added for Tadhg Riabhach ODowde, son of Donal, being an armoured arm holding a spear (sometimes the crest appears wrongly as three ostrich plumes in green and yellow). Often the esquires helm is shown crowned with a coronet, with a torque [twisted wreath of green and gold cloth] beneath. The motto beneath the whole was: Virtus Ipsa Suis Firmissima Nititur Armis, Firmissima is sometimes misread as Eirissima.
2) The coat of arms shown at the heading of this website (but without the coronet) were granted to Donal ODowd of Ardnaglass Castle in 1608.
3) Totally dissimilar canting arms sometimes appear, commemorating Aodh and his four brothers. The shield bears five doves (dubh = dove) in quincunx, the helm bears the usual torque upon which is crest of a dove. The motto was Innocens ut Columba

Craig Dowd shares with Olo Brown and Sean Fitzpatrick the record of the second longest serving front row unit in the history of test match rugby - with 35 test matches together. Although a prop, he has locked the All Black scrum in a test match, and can snare the unexpected line out ball.

| ODOWD, BERNARD (1866-1953)
Bernard ODowd, born in Beaufort, Victoria, was an opponent of Federation involved with the radical journal Tocsin. He wrote many satirical poems therein about Federation and a clause by clause critique of the draft Federal Bill. He saw future dangers in State/Federal rivalry to working people, warned of the unspecified powers given to the Governor General and considered a federated Australia to be at a disadvantage compared with more "unitary" countries. |

The historical and cultural significance of the property known as the James C. Dowd House rests upon two factors. First, the structure is the most important artifact of Camp Greene, a World War I military installation, which survives. Second, the structure has strong associative ties with a family of local and regional importance, the Dowd family. |

I recieved this posting from a Jeremiah ODowd, normally I would redirect such posts to the forum, but the hunt for the village he is looking for seems more than just interesting, its almost mysterious, church spires rising from the waters, etc.

MARIA DENISE DOWD
Founder and Executive Producer
African American Women on Tour
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - "Essence magazine hired, fired and inspired me," Maria recalls with a smile. What comes to her mind is that fateful day back in 1989. The magazine had contracted her as one of the on-site coordinators of its Cover Model Search mall tour. A few months later, due to budget cuts, her contract was terminated. "Despite the reason, to have your first and only client - the icon of Black womans everything - terminate your services can really make you question the meaning of life," Maria quips. She was 30 at the time. The loss of this client happened just a few short months after shed resigned from her account manager job with a shopping mall promotions company to start her own company, PROMOTrends. |

Johnny Dowd,
I was born on Easter Sunday, march 29th , 1948 , in Fort Woth , Texas. I am not the superstitious type, so I dont give the Easter date and special significance.
I dont see myself as the saviour of rock-n-roll or anything like that. I do know that my birthday falls on Easter again in 2043 and hope between now and then to write some memorable songs and to entertain the multitudes.
