St. Patrick's Day - - Irish Roots

 

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

May laughter be your music and joy your guide,
May the spirit of St. Patrick walk by your side.
May rainbows light your path, and blessings overflow,
With love and luck wherever you go.

Enjoy this special day, my birthday! - - Colleen

     Remembrances is the story of my mother’s family from stories told me to when I was a child to research I did as an adult. My maternal grandmother’s family includes the surnames Brady, Coyle, Cunningham, Gibney, Mullane, Sullivan & more from the counties Cavan, Cork & Tipperary in Ireland. My maternal grandfather’s family includes the surnames Edelstein, Farkas, Gartner, Horn, Katz, Weissberg & more from Eastern Europe. How did these very different families come together? What was life like for my grandparents?  What were the celebrations and sorrows in their lives? Research in archives, libraries, courthouses & cemeteries helped me answer many questions about these families. Photographs, letters, diaries and documents helped to bring these ancestors to life once again. This book includes timelines, family tree charts, local history, source citations and an index. It is my sincere hope that the stories in this book will keep our family’s ancestors alive far into the next generations.

   Soft cover, over 340+ pages with family charts, timelines, old letters, many photographs & an index. $50.00 + $10 postage & shipping. No credit cards.
