I thoroughly enjoy your Galway
Gazette (I subscribe) and I love your website and I did like reading about
your family and yourself. Guess What, I'm another Irish-American
(been to England but not Ireland yet) who is "yearning" to get there in
Y2K..I would love to live there for short periods and learn Irish Dancing
(I'm a former dancer/teacher/choreographer) and bring back to teach maybe
and I love languages in general and am having a obstacle studded time of
it trying to get time to study my Gaelic from books/tapes some I got in
England. I have a son, Sean, daughter-in-law (like dau.), Leona and
two granddaughters Seana Marie Boylan (14) and Jessica Jean Boylan (7).
Anything you have time to
tell me about or direct me to, I would appreciate. Depending on fares
& lodging, I am considering August-October possible visit time to Ireland
and England (have friends there), etc. And, if possible, I would
love to meet you for sure.
I'm semi-retired from US
Gov, work part-time as a Legal Asst and work about once a week for an "Irish"
Englishwoman who lives next door as a "Nippy" in Maria of London Tea Room.
We dress in Victorian black & white and give talks during tea.
I do the Irish and have a collection of about 50 books.
I love you people, no doubt
about it!! Slainte, Marie Boylan

Thank you so much for your
wonderful pages. I doubt I'll ever get to Ireland, so hearing your newsy
bits and pieces sort of helps. I live in Tasmania, an island state off
the southern coast of Australia.

I found your story of your
voyage here very touching. I visited Grosse Ile for the first time just
last week; Augst 16, 2001. I was deeply struck by the story of the great
famine and have been reading about it for the past week. What a horrible
disaster for the Irish. Seeing all those names on the glass panels was
very sobering indeed. The Lazeretto hospital exterior has been completely
renovated since your visit. It looks rather unrealistic though. The sidings
are a pastel creamy yellow and the triming a pleasant redish orange. The
interior has been left untouched and was particularly haunting to enter
into and walk about. Lastly in case you did not know, the actual Irish
cemetary is about five times as big as the area that is being kept. Sometime
in the 20th century the forest was allowed to grow back in
and still covers four fifths
of the actual grave yard. According to a young guide I spoke with, the
cemetary covers the entire area down to the river going west and down to
the bay which I understand is named Cholera Bay.
Congratulations on a lovely
project. Well done, and the kindest of regards to you.

I really enjoyed the music
it was relaxing. this site made me realize who I was, and what my purpose
in life was. Thank you for making this site.
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
I have added links
pages of other places related to the places we visit, links
to leisure activities in Ireland i.e. golf, fishing, horse riding,
sailing in Ireland, festivals, entertainment etc. and some of my friends'
home pages.
