The history is very interesting but I was wondering why the name "Whelan" is not listed on the local parish names after all there are alot of us in it, so next time I visit I hope to see the name added.  Keep up the good work and give my regards to all in Lackagh!

Greetings,

I was surfing around Ballykissangel and came upon your site.  I just wanted to drop you a line saying how much I enjoyed it.  A lot of the places you've visited in Canada, I've been as well.  Quebec being my favorite.  If I spoke French good enough I'd live there *smiles*  Hopefully, someday I'll be able to go to Ireland, but for right now have to stay a little closer to home. Again, let me say that you've got a terriffice site going here.  You're definitely an asset to Ballykissangel.  I hope to hear from you soon.

Great site -- we're off to Ireland this week and your site came up on the search engine for Galway -- thanks for the great information!! We're only going to be in the Western part of Ireland -- our second trip.  My father's family came from County Sligo -- Moran was my maiden name (Ballymote is the town). I'm also a Sagitarian -- born in 1948!!  Only have 2 children - but I am the oldest of 6 (and 3/4 Irish!!).....

After 3 years of trying to have a baby my parents went on a pilgrimage to the Shrine of St Anne de Beaupre.  They ascended the steps to the Shrine on their knees and asked St.Anne to bless them with a child.  Within 2 months I was conceived and thus named Anne.  That was 30+ years ago, I am now married and my husband (a policeman) and I have three young children and stretch his paychecks as far as possible to be able to afford the tuition to send our children to our parish's elementary school.  In all the hustle of having 3 children close together, I fell away from attending church regularly and I very recently have felt it's loss in my life - a big hole where something was missing.  I have just begun to find a whole new side to my spirituality that I didn't know was there before - in watching my children grow with Christ's love for them and the fact that he sent them to me, entrusted them to me to raise for him is such a powerful thing. Your site is beautiful, it has made me smile and cry.  Your trip to Canada is one that I hope to someday be able to make to thank St. Anne for giving me the gift of life that she did.  Until that time thank your so very much for sharing your experiences there - I will be back to visit often.

I found the site to be quite informative.My Dad was raised in Ballaghadereen,Co.Roscommon and left from Lisergoole for the USA. According to my Uncle, my Dad left in a hurry as he was involved in some of the fighting for independence. It would be nice to know a little more about that, but haven't the slightest idea where to look. would you have any suggestions? Thank you for any info you share. I'm located about 8 mi. from Philadelphia,Pa.,about 90 min. fromN.Y.&90min. from the Atlantic Ocean
Peace, Joy & Love,  Pat

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.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY

The telecommunications industry goes from strength to strength world wide, especially with de-regulation opening up most countries to healthy and cost-cutting competition. The company, for which we are Independent Consultants, has been so successful since its European start-up in 1998 that it has now expanded from the UK to Ireland  Belgium,  the Netherlands, and the USA. It plans to expand even further in the very near future - to:

Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Mexico, and Poland.
If you, or anyone you know, living in any of these countries would like to start a home-based business, the opportunities are enormous as this company is only just beginning and, as Independent Consultants, everyone will be in at the very ground level. E-MAIL for details or check out the WEBPAGE.
