Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Falvey''' is a [[surname]] which is an anglicisation of the [[name]] '''Ó Fáilbhe''': in the [[Irish language]] Ó means "descendant" [of] and "fáilbhe" literally means "lively, pleasant, sprightly, merry, cheerful" or, according to another historian, "joker". Other anglicisations include ''O’Falvie, O’Falvy, O’Failie, O’Falvey, Falvey, Fealy'' and ''Fealey''. The O’Falvey's trace their descent to [[Conaire]], who was [[King of Ireland]] at the beginning of the [[Christian era]]. The O’Falvey's are recorded to have been powerful [[tribal chief|chief]]s of [[Corcu Duibne]], specifically the [[Dingle Peninsula]] of modern-era [[County Kerry]], the [[barony (Ireland)|barony]] of Corcaguiny. They were also [[Lord]]s of [[Iveragh|Inveragh]] during the tenth century, and the hereditary [[admiral]]s of [[County Desmond|Desmond]]. The veracity of such claims is in their intent more than their detail, thus an "admiral" may well have been the leader of some [[boat]]s, and a "lord" may have been a somewhat less imposing figure than a [[Victorian era|Victorian]] English [[nobleman]]. 

Some historical evidence appears to substantiate this particular claim, in the form of the following extract from ''The Viking Invasions'' of [[Ireland]].

:<small>The second [[army]] was actually a [[navy]] consisting of the Ernans of Desmond led by their admiral Falvey the Fair (Falbi Fionn) ... When [[Sitric Cáech|Sitric]] learned of the advancing army, he took his men aboard their ships and tied Callaghan to the mast. He then sailed out and waited for the Irish. The Irish fleet shot at the [[Viking]]s with all speed. Admiral Falvey attacked the lead Viking ship which carried Sitric and the tied Callaghan. Ramming the Viking vessel, he jumped aboard with two swords, one in each hand dueling the Viking warriors. Falvey cut loose Callaghan and together they fought their way out. As Callaghan escaped, Falvey was cut down and died aboard the Viking ship. Many men drowned in the battle as they were wearing such heavy [[armor]]. During the sea battle, the Cianachts and other Munstermen were forced to watch from the shore, unable to assist their navy. However, the Ernans destroyed the Vikings, sending them racing back to Norway. </small>

The stem is said to begin with [[High King of Ireland|High King]] [[Conaire Cóem]] in 165 and ends with the entry, Thomas O’Falvey of [[Taunton, Massachusetts|Taunton]], [[Massachusetts]] with a son living in 1880. Documentation in [[Australia]] is also speculative, for example that of the "Falvey Family History". 

The O’Falveys eventually were dispossessed of their [[title]]s and [[Real property|land]]s by the [[Anglo-Normans]], and migrated to Clare and remained in the vicinity for centuries. In common with other formerly great [[Catholic]] and [[Gaels|Gaelic]] families, they lived in the less accessible parts of Ireland, where they were apparently content to remain in obscurity until the [[Catholic Emancipation]]. Even after the upheaval of the [[Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652]] the O’Falveys still held considerable lands around [[Cahersiveen]], some of which remained in their hands in an unbroken succession until, in quite recent times, the property of this branch of the family passed by alliance to the Morrogh-Bernards. 

The Falvey lands that passed into the hands of the Morrogh-Bernard family are mentioned as a [[byline]] in a history of Presentation [[Monastery]] in [[County Kerry|Kerry]] in which the expansion of the teaching monastery was effected by acquisition of "five acres of Falvey's Inch through the generosity of the Morrough-Bernard family" ... perhaps suggesting once extensive land holdingsas documented for example in the Presentation Monastery files.  The 1982 family history goes on to say that ''"in the records from the Irish Birth Indexes of 1890, a total of seventeen entries appear for the name of Falvey, sixteen of which were in the [[county|counties]] of [[County Cork|Cork]], [[County Clare]] and Kerry. The name O’Falvey was borne by at least fourteen of the Irish [[saint]]s"'', but then Irish [[saint]]s were not uncommon. Through the centuries, Falveys have featured in various historical entries, despite the relative rarity of the name.

Other general historical references to Falveys may be found around the time of the [[Norman Conquest of England]], for which time the Ireland History in Maps shows the Ua Failbe, that is O’Falvey family, as a Lesser Sept located in the south west peninsula that forms part of Kerry. On the map for the pre-Norman period ((Circa|1100)), they are similarly listed in that location as a lesser [[dynasty|dynastic]] surname. A footnote (number 10) in an extract from a history of Desmond implies the competition that Falveys lived with to maintain influence in the region.

The 1540-1713 period of the Irish confessors and [[martyr]]s has produced a list of those who suffered under the Irish penal enactments from 1537 according to an inquiry held in [[Dublin]], which among gruesome descriptions of [[hanging]]s and being cut to pieces, includes one Donchus O’Falvey, a [[priest]] that is perhaps the Daniel Falvey, [[friar]], remanded at Kerry Lent Assizes, 1703. By the late seventeenth century, records of [[officer (armed forces)|officers]] in [[James I of England|King James]]' army include at least four Falvey’s, a [[Captain (British Army and Royal Marines)|Captain]] Denis Falvey, two [[lieutenant]]s Falvey, one of which was named Dermott, and an [[ensign (rank)|ensign]] Hugh Falvey.

The entry for Falvey families in Kerry, implies an interesting history that must have been common to many families. While it includes a chief, a grant to use English law and a later repeal of the grant, distinguished death in [[battle]], and a Counsellor of apparent note, it also contains many names without note and a lowly tanner. While it may be tempting to ignore the ignominious and to claim the Falvey crown and heritage, most were apparently peasants. Surnames in the sense we understand them today were introduced in Ireland from about the tenth century, and are known to have been commonplace by the twelfth. This event alone would not have assisted [[genealogy|genealogical]] research, but as the Irish system of inheritance of name and land was [[patronym]]ic, some names appear in older records. The "O" in O’Falvey was simply the English expression of the Gaelic 'ua' meaning 'from', and seems to have been dropped from many Irish names during times of persecution. Considering the integration of the Falveys with the Anglo-Saxon and [[Protestant culture]] of the modern West, and the benefits they enjoy from such integration as for many others, the ancestral shedding of the 'O' might now seem to have been prescient.

Today, the name Falvey seems rare. However, the variants of [[anglicism|anglicised]] spellings of the name means that for a Falvey, in addition to the obvious alternative spellings and retention of prefix 'O', families bearing such names as Fallie, Fealy and Fealey may be related.

The main campus library at [[Villanova University]] is named Falvey Memorial Library, in remembrance of Rev. Daniel Falvey, an [[Augustinian Order|Augustinian]] priest who dedicated over half his life as librarian for the university.<ref>((cite web |url=http://library.villanova.edu/About |title = Falvey Memorial Library :: About Falvey Library))</ref>
