Ruaidhri, looking forward to learning more of what seems to me your particularly fascinating Irish story. Are you of German ancestry? How did your German forebears arrive in Ireland then? Again, Ruaidhri, failte!
Go raibh maith agat as an failte- I believe my ancesters arrived in Waterford in 1709. But _I am not sure, the following is a bit about the uncle of my Grandfather-
''The Revd Dr Richard Henebry/ Risteard De Hindeberg (1863–1916) was born into an Irish-speaking farming family in Mount Bolton, Portlaw, Co Waterford.
The family was musical. Henebry played the fiddle, as did his mother, and he had a great interest in traditional singing and uilleann piping. An outstanding but eccentric scholar, he became a Catholic priest, and after a doctoral course of philological studies in Germany was briefly professor of Irish in the Catholic University of Washington DC in the 1890s, and later taught in Berkeley University in California.

Did 'The Great War' complicate his life in Ireland, Ruaidhri?
