    I don't suppose you know much about every single version of this book, right? But I've got a copy whose cover was manually done by a publisher called "The Garnier Brothers" in France, dedicated to my great-grandmother Elena de León... unfortunately, there's no date of when it was done. However, I know it is somewhere between when this book was still called "Mortimer & Amanda" instead of "The Children of Abbey" (This book, specifically, is in Spanish and from Guatemala, so it's actually "Oscar y Amanda"). Probably anywhere from the 1910s to the 1940s. Anyhow, if you have any sources or ideas of where I could get a more specific answer, I would appreciate it greatly! For now, the only thing I can think of is to learn French and call the location to see if they have a record of these things-

    My 3x great-grandfather, left Carrick-on-Suir for Tilting, NL around 1800. His wife's father (from Waterford) settled in Tilting in the mid-1700s. Their grandson left Tilting (for Boston) in the late 1800s.

    • @dinkster1729
      @dinkster1729 2 года назад

      They settled directly in Tilting, did they? Fogo Island is a very English-settled part of NL, I believe. I always thought that all the people's families came from further south in NL and migrated to Fogo Island. Tilting people had a different accent, more Irish than the other people on Fogo, even the other Roman Catholics in Fogo and Joe Batt's Arm.

    When I was in Ireland, I was in a book store and the clerk said to me, I can't place your accent. What part of Ireland are you from..... My Mom and I laughed and told her we were Newfoundlanders. We are not as Irish as the Avalon, more British accent with an Irish lilt. Accents in Newfoundland vary greatly.

  • @dennisfitzgerald9434
    @dennisfitzgerald9434 3 года назад

    Another reason they held on would be the Resistance to proper spoken English through Protestant reformation. These People refused in many ways to give up and give in too the Crown. Holding that accent and dialect said this is Ours, You can't and won't take it. It makes us unique, it makes us stand apart from you.

    • @NLJosh83
      @NLJosh83 3 года назад

      I'm not sure if that was an intended outcome or more as a result of the outports' isolation from the rest of the world for the better part of two centuries.

    • @Sabbath0-q8s
      @Sabbath0-q8s 2 года назад

      That's just the way we speak... Most people from the Northern parts of the province have more of a old west country English accent, where as the south coast and the Irish loop have and Irish accent... People get confused because the old west county accent sounds very similar to the accents spoken in Wexford... So the west country and Ireland both use the term b'y or bhoy for the word boy.... ruclips.net/video/WjTIFkWJctY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/9aTdZq7iB6w/видео.html

    Actually many irish descendants lived on the east coast as well with strong irish accents they were all over the island not just the irish loop. Nevertheless, You've done a great job on telling a part of the true history of what took place in my home away from home. The out ports are communities alongside all the different bays along the coast of newfoundland. There use to be hundreds of these out ports or communities and many of these out ports have also died off because of the resettling, which you've talked about. Which destroyed these communities and the lives of many, many folks. My grandfather lost his lobster factory and my father and my older brohter's lost their fishing licenses. So they in turn, turn to carpentry work. What you failed to mention was that the government destroyed the fishing businesses which supplied the fish plants of thousands of fishermen. The government gave long liners the right to fish, who used drag nets to destroy the fishing grounds, which the government denied and failed to recognize. Instead they blamed the in shore fishermen for the decline of the fish, which is why they enforced the so called resettlement idea in the first place. Instead it was the foreign fishing vessels and the long liners that fished these waters and as a result destroyed the fishing grounds for years. That is why many newfoundlanders were forced out of these fishing ports, so the long liners and the greedy fishing corporations could fish the waters but the little guy was no longer able to fish. Which destroyed families and communities that is why many NewFoundLanders had to move away to the mainland because of the failed fisheries, which was done by our government, and later the government implemented the moratorium, which basically was the second wave of destruction that caused many to move away. That took place in the early nineties. Which caused even more of these communities to die off. As a result many had to moved off the island and moved to other provinces within Canada to find work. Mostly they moved to Ontario and Alberta and even British Columbia. And many moved to the USA. A lot of our women married US military service men because the US had a army bases all over the island during and after world war two. And young women from all over the island met these men and married them and moved to America. I have many relatives who live in America because my aunt married US service men. Our family left Ireland during the potato famine in the mid eighteen hundreds and lived in Summerville, which still exists but there aren't many folks left there any more. My older brother still lives there, but he says, now, not many are left. Its located in Bonavista Bay, which is on the far east coast of nfld about three hours drive from St John's.
