The Céide Fields, County Mayo Ireland.
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.Год назад
We visit the Ceide Fields - located close to the town of Killalla in north County Mayo. What a unique experience! Farming walls going back 5,000 years have been excavated on this site - giving us a glimpse into our farming past. The centre has a number of very useful exhibits, but the best part is that archaeological guides will take you into the excavated fields and explain how the fields were...

    My ancesters left Mayo Conimara and Galway, at the time of the famine settled inLeeds Yorkshire in the 1840s. They faced terrible prejudice in England for many years, the stories of hardship and survival, passed down to me by my Grandparents.

    Canada here. I very much enjoyed my visit there in 2016, disturbing though it was. As I toured the house it was apparent the McMahons did everything they could to separate themselves from their tenants and servants. They kept the workers out of sight as much as possible. I believe they did not consider the Irish as real human beings, flesh and blood like them. That is how they were able to send so many off on coffin ships while they were malnourished and sick. The assassination was justice, in my opinion. Lord Palmerston, on the other hand, in Sligo, did all he could to improve his estate. It was over-populated, and his answer was to ASSIST his tenants to emigrate to the new world -- he did it for 20 years. Palmerston always treated his tenants with dignity, and he refused to evict anyone. No one thought of killing him.

    There was no need for all this. Loads of food available at the time but the collective thought at the time was"A dinner wasn't a dinner without spuds"so they stopped eating! The humble spud went on to make a great comeback and is now a worldwide favourite staple having originated in Ireland. Hope this is helpful in people's understanding of what actually happened.

    I honeymooned in Ireland in 1987 and while waiting in Shannon Airport to depart for home, I realized that my wife and I hadn't really purchased anything from Ireland to take home. I stepped away and quickly entered a duty-free shop near where we were sitting and snagged a triple distilled bottle of Bushmills. I've never been a whiskey drinker, but some 20 years later, I introduced a couple of visiting friends to the still unopened bottle of Bushmills. The two of them polished off about 90% of the bottle. Fittingly, one of these gentleman is named Daniel O'Brien.

    I found a grave stone for my 3rd great grandfather John McCann. Although it is very difficult to read but it says John McCann Born County Derry Died September 11th, 1862 at 76 years. So he was born in 1786. I don't have an exact location. I have a cousin who paid for some research. She sent me lots of documents, I NEED to look through all of that and see if I have info on him.

    Visited the house a few years ago. It was absolutely filthy. Dust everywhere. Totally neglected by the "custodians"! This is what happens when people have no idea what they are doing. It was quite sad to see the house being so neglected.

    The "west Brit" establishment are completely twisted (They're also a tiny but powerful minority) British colonial settlers have no right to be called Irish, Irish people of the time attended hedge schools not Trinity, they lived in tiny thatched cottages not country mansions. How many Irish family's had to suffer in order to pay for Strokestown House, what was the human cost?

    I kissed the stone at Blarney, I was so excited to learn I have a connection to the Castle. Cormac Laidir Oge MacCarthy, Chieftan and 10th Lord of Muskerry, finished repairing the 3rd structure at the site. He is my paternal 13th great grandfather (1470 - 1536).
