Comments:What a wonderful site this is! I am Irish/French-Canadian. I especially loved reading about St. Anne de Beaupre and Notre Dame du Cap, both of which I had the pleasure of visiting on trips to Canada. You brought it all back to me. Please take care and God Bless you and your family. By the way, what is the name of the tune playing on your St. Anne de Beaupre page? It's absolutely wonderful.

Comments:Thank you very much for this site. I've been dreaming about going and learning about Ireland for almost 2 years. Your pictures are so beautiful. I was very happy to see them. Ireland turned to be even more terrific than I thought it would be.
I hope you will be able to write me. About myself: I live in Russia and study in the University. Im 18 years old. I've got a great family which I adore and friends I like to spend time with. I love reading, photography, modern art and dancing. I've seen Riverdance on tape. It was something amazing!!! I wasn't able to find much information about it though. Well, that is all for now. My best wishes to all your family. Sincerely, Dasha Okhotnikova

Comments:My oldest son,William J. knows how fond I am of Irish Music and that much of the family claims Irish (or part at least). Bill sent me the URL and asked me to take a look. I've only peeked so far but was so pleased with the content and ease of use that I can enjoy traveling thru the land of ancesters thru your eyes and wonderful use of language. I was born and raised in Buffalo New York USA and am retired to Arizona where most of the green is of the folding kind. My mother, Marjorie O'Rourke was traced to Canada and Dad's mother was Ann A Dugan from Strandhill area. Would that I could actually travel to Ireland but time (72) and health will not allow it. However it looks like your website and links may be the next best thing. Thank you and I hope to visit many times Joe Smith

Comments:Great Site! I found it while searching on St.Anne de Beaupré. My family and I will be visiting the same Québec shrines that you described this coming October so I found your site to be of great interest. By coincidence we visited Ireland in November 1997 (Galway, Knock, Dublin, Connemara....) took pictures at "The Quiet Man" bridge etc...really enjoyed this trip. I have Irish roots but not been able to find any details. Terry Wilson Toronto, Canada

Comments:Your photographs are excellent. Sligo and Galway are two of my favorite places in Ireland, and your pictures were evocative. When you visit Sligo do you go to Michael Quirke's shop on Wine Street? He is a wood carver, and he is also a wonderful source of myths, legends, and place lore. He is at the heart of the heart of Sligo!

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.
If you are interested in Irish history or anything to do with Ireland why not visit our new additions where you will find a large selection of genuine Irish goods as well as Irish reading, music & viewing material!:Moytura's Irish Store, Moytura's Irish Bookshop, Moytura's Irish Music Store, and Moytura's Irish Video Store
