Hey, James, Failte! I'd love to hear more about your family history, and particularly about your IRA ancestor, your grandfather, I believe. Also, what are your Irish trad musical tastes?

Hi Gerry,

 

Only getting back to you know. Its a interesting family tree and probably what prompted my interest in history. My Grabdfather on my mothers side was william ( Bill) Dwyer who served with Dan Breen in the Tipperary Flying column, he was wounded in action and awarded the active service medal for the war of independence. The Doherty part of my ancestry dates directly back to the 1700s when my ancestors where forced to leave Donegal. Prior to that the Dohertys were the last Irish tribe to fight the English decades after the flight of the earls ( to no avail). Ill give you the full family tree some day.
