Welcome to my Family's Genealogy

Ireland is located in the eastern part of the North Atlantic Ocean, directly west of Great Britain. Famed for its emerald-green landscape and vibrant Celtic Folklore, it is rooted in the spirit of hospitality.  A variety of internal and external influences have shaped Ireland as we know it today. Ireland’s modern cultural remains deeply rooted in the Celtic culture that spread across much of Central Europe and into the British Isles. Along with Wales, Scotland, and a handful of other isolated communities within the British Isles, Ireland remains one of the last holdouts of the ancient Celtic languages that were once spoken throughout much of Western Europe. After centuries of emigration, most notably during the Irish Famine (1845-1849), this island is the original home of the Irish diaspora that is estimated at over 100 million members.
