I found
this site while trying to trace my family tree, I know that one of my ancestors
is still living in the Sligo
area, I found your site to be absolutly beautiful and informative.
It answered some of my questions as to how big the exodus was from Ireland.
I hope to visit the area next year, everything permitting.
Thank
you

Thank
you for sharing your journey. I just learned of your web site tonight from
a friend who traveled to Ireland with me last Feb. We attended the National
Divine Mercy Conference in Dublin for 2001 as well as other Holy places
in Ireland. During the summer we went to the shrine of St. Anne in Chicago
for feast day too. Although she knew my grandparents were from Ireland
she didn't know my parents went to St.
Anne's Shrine in Canada on their honeymoon. Naturally, I went right
to the site after talking to her tonight.
But
something very interesting to me was Grosse
Ile. For several years I've loved the music of John Whelan, particularly
the CD titled CELTIC CROSSROADS John Whelan & Friends. You may know
of selection #10 on this CD titled "Grosse Ile." Well I've loved that recording
by him so much that I have it on tape and CD and played it often. I never
new what "Grosse Ile"
meant but from when I first heard it I would play it over and over feeling
a very sad, strong conection to this song, but never knowing what the song
was about. I've cried over that song for many years never knowing the history
or meaning, but this music emoted a sense of lost home, lost loves, lost
lives with no other choices in life; mournful, prayerful, yet hopeful.
GROSSE
ILE was a mystery to me until I read of your journey. Thank you for
taking the time to share your trip on the web. Now that this mystery is
solved, not only have you inspired me to go there, but I feel called to
go there, pay respect, and pray for those souls who had such faith and
endured so much hardship. Maybe those souls will pray for us in return.
perhaps some of those souls will intercede in our lives from their places
in Heaven.
Thank
you,
Judith

What
a great site! I'm planning a trip to Ireland in May to visit various Saint
Brendan related locations, and your site was a great source of information.
Keep
up the great work,

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

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.
