Comments:Hi there! Congratulations on your beautiful and informative website!
I am a German wheelchair user who recently completed a vacation trip to England, Wales and Ireland. I must admit I am deeply in love with the region you are living in -- even though it's not exactly a model for access for the disabled. I stayed in Galway for one week, visiting friends of mine. Disabled people heavily depend on accessible facilities, especially parking and toilets. This is even more true for disabled tourists who don't know their way around. They simply won't come to a place if they don't know it's possible there for them to exist. That's why I've put all the access info that I've gathered on the web.
I would be honored if you could include this link in your collection. Other access info on North-West Ireland will follow shortly, regards, Winfred Huehn,

Comments:I love your Web Pages! They're very interesting.
I've just started tracing back my family tree and a large number of my ancestors are of Irish descent. Most of my records lead me back to the point of when they left Grosse-Ile for the Ottawa area. I was searching for info on Grosse-Ile when I came across your excellent & informative pages.
I'm keeping your Home Page in my Favourites so I can check back from time to time to get inspiration to keep up my search when I reach a brick wall. Thanks again !

the Journey
For those who have just joined me on this page why not go to the beginning of our travels and see some of the places in The Start of Our Journey through the West of Ireland. My Place Amongst the Stones gives the history of my company name, Moytura - a celtic heritage going back thousands of years.
We journey to my own parish of Lackagh - a small village just 12 miles from Galway with a mighty big history. Learn all about the Battle of Knockdoe - one of Ireland's bloodiest of conflicts in the 16th century.
We then move on to take a quick jaunt around Galway City; and then to the heart of Connemara - with its wild and wonderful beauty.
From there we journey south into County Clare and see The Burren - a place that has lain undisturbed since the Ice-age and of immense botanical, ecological and archaeological importance.
Visit Ireland's finest early monastic heritage centre in Clonmacnoise, County Offaly; and to my favourite of all the early Christian Church locations - Clonfert, South County Galway, with its beautiful tiny 12th century Cathedral of Saint Brendan. Come with me around the grounds and see the Bishop's Palace and the 1000 year old Yew Walk.
While on the Clonfert pages, you can learn a potted history of Saint Brendan the Navigator, possibly the first European to set foot in North America in the 6th. century. And join me in the celebrations when this tiny cathedral was listed in the World Monuments Watch 2000 most endangered monuments.
Come with me on my 'Famine Journey' which starts in Westport, and moves to Sligo, my Dad's County and the departure port for many of the 'Coffin Ships'. This part of my journey ends in Grosse-Île on a tiny island east of Quebec City.
On this page you will learn some of the history of our Famine Refugees and find the final resting place of over 6,000 of my country folk who died within sight of their first freedom in over 300 years. This is where many of the Irish roots in North America started.
Our Journey moves on to other places on that visit to Canada where we see Quebec City and some of Ontario's lovely places and then to two of Canada's famous Catholic Shrines - Saint Anne de Beaupré and to Cap-de-la-Madeleine.
Finally, join me on my pilgrimage to a peaceful haven in a war-torn country in Medugorje in Bosnia-Hercegovinia. The other areas of my Web site can be found in the drop-down box below.
