Have you ever wondered about the ordinary lives of your Irish ancestors - these people who did not shape written history but who shaped you? How did the tenant-farmers, labourers, fishermen and others survive to raise their families while coping with poverty, famine, war and oppression as well as personal tragedy? When tracing the histories of his own and his wife's families, the author encounters men and women who persevered and others who suffered tragedy. Some would remain in Ireland while others would be scattered around the world by emigration and go on to build new lives and families abroad. This very readable book also outlines the early history of the Irish people and gives a flavour of the their daily lives. We encounter some stories of great tragedy, poverty and hardship but also uplifting tales of perseverance, courage, survival and triumph of spirit.
