The Irish

This area of my website will become the repository of all things Irish, especially of resources you might access in your own exploration of your family history.
1. You might want to start by checking out BellaOnline -The Voice of Women. Don’t be mislead by that address. It should take you to the home of that site and an interesting article on IRISH LIFE IN THE 1800’s.

3. If you are a visual learner, you should check out the following resource, full of great information yes, but stunning sketches of the time:

I will be adding more resources over time, but this is a good place to start.
