Cead Mile Failte Jim. We hope you are enjoying the Wild Geese. Is there any content in particular that you'd like to see here on The Wild Geese? Let us know. Belinda:)
Hello Jim, I see that you have commented on Mayo, my father's family is from Ballina, and I have family there still, I will be going back in August when they will be celebrating "The Gathering"
My mom is also from Mayo, under the shadow of Mt. Nephin. Her brother, my Uncle John, married a woman whose aunt, Mary Mangan, was lost on Titanic. My cousins were very involved in the commemoration of that tragedy last year in Lahardane.
Welcome to the New Wild Geese and enjoy your "gathering."
Thanks, Jim! Like many emigrants, Brida came home eventually. She moved from Galway to Dublin in her old age and I remember her visiting our house there with sticks of barley sugar for everyone, inculding my father whom she still thought of as her little nephew.
