Journey to Ireland for The Gathering: Part One

Me at Blackwater Castle in my ancestral village, Cork, Ireland for The Gathering On the goose bump trail to find my ancestral home in Ireland Researching my family history in Dublin, boarding a famine ship in Wexford and discovering an ancestral castle in Cork: These were just some of the highlights of my trip to Ireland to connect with the land my ancestors left behind more than 200 years ago when they journeyed to British North America (now Canada) for the chance of a better life.
