This is truly amazing. My maiden name is Butler and you, by chance have given me a gift that I never dreamed would come true. As a child I remember my family receiving a beautiful invitation to the Butler family gathering in Ireland. It was in the early 1980's when we received it and my mother kept it locked away in her chest with other important documents and antiques. Unfortunately it was lost in a house fire. Since then, it has been my dream to be able to visit the family tomb and castle in Ireland, but time has slipped away and my health does not allow me to travel. I am proud of my strong Irish blood and also of my Native American blood, which so happens to be from the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, USA, (I'm 1/2 Choctaw). The connection that the Choctaw Indians and the Irish have is a bond that we were blessed with. So thank you for this very special video in which I will proudly share with family and gracefully cherish. ~May God bless and care for you and yours always
It is great you connected with the butler name. Lovely castles here in Ireland with the butler connection. We have a woman here who watches my videos from Canada. She is half mohawk. Thank you for watching 🙏
Wow, we have very similar backgrounds! I’m also an Okie, English/Irish family names on both sides, Cherokee/Choctaw blood too but only like a 1/16th or something. I have dreamt of visiting the British isles/Ireland for a long time to see where my ancestors came from. I mainly want to find out when my mother’s relatives, Baxter surname, left Ireland and where they came from. My last name is also a common English name, but spelled slightly different than normal. Family genealogy becomes difficult when your Native American ancestors refused to sign the Dawes Rolls.
@@asdf9890 my problem is that although my Choctaw family signed the Dawes Roll it still stops there. I have no idea what area they came from originally or their clan name. My Butler name was easier to trace because it is more documented as well as relatives reaching out to us. I guess that is why I was so excited to see these resting places. The Choctaws on the other hand, follow the matriarchal line which is a very different system. What really threw me off was my daughter's DNA results which showed Central American descent. I have absolutely no clue when that may have been introduced but from documents, the Mayans had married into Choctaw clans. Which interests me beyond my dreams of finding more common documents. Most people when they discover they are American Indian only want to know their roll number. Then they stop. But tracing back further takes money, travel and detective work to look for their clan within a tribe. I wish you best of wishes in your research. -God blass always
You guys totally need a scope type camera, something you can easily slip between the bars and can bend around corners! We use cameras like this to look inside motors, gas tanks etc on our heavy machinery when we need to see in tight spaces!
The camera thing is a good idea. No more crawling into holes. We have one we bought for very little off the internet to look in caves in our area without having to go in. (Lots of snakes around).
The difference between an Abbey and a Friary being that where Friar preachers live in a Friary and invited the general public to worship in their church, Monks would have lived in an Abbey and would have generally confined their vocation to worship through prayer and meditation. Just some info.
Thanks for the video. Those collapsed coffins with the exposed mummified remains were definitely scary. Oh, and nice hearing your wonderful Irish accents.
Whether a Friary or an Abbey, these historic old buildings of ancient Ireland are impressive. I think back to the indigenous people of Ireland and the back breaking work that went into building each and every one of them. When I visited in 1981, almost all of them I investigated were open to the public but some visitors climbed all over them and disrespected them. I can see why they have had to lock parts of these places up to preserve what is left and respect the dearly departed. This part of Quinn, County Clare deserves to be protected and I think County Clare is doing a fine job of doing just that. I loved this video; it had so much of the old country left in it. Those Butler's, as I have said before, are everywhere. Well done Cathal, very well done. ♥️ 🙏 🇮🇪
Thank you for making and sharing this video! My grandmother was from Scotland and my grandfather was from Ireland. I hope to be able to visit both places to see my heritage before I leave this earth.
Hello from Northwestern, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦. I enjoy your channel very much and Serenity Sue. Love the way you pay respects to each by reading the inscriptions. Very respectable channel. Much love 💚💚💚. Take care stay happy, healthy, and safe!!!
Wow, GV!! That skeleton was in a VERY good condition, considering how old it is!! The coffin certainly didn't last as long!!☠⚰ I love the Celtic cross grave marker near the first mausoleum!! Celtic crosses are SOOOOOO ornate and BEAUTIFUL!! ❤❤ Thanks for yet another EXCELLENT video, Cathal!! You NEVER DISAPPOINT!! XXXX ❤🤗💞👍👏
Loved this place nadia so much history especially that captain from revolution and the sad grave of the two sisters who went down with the RMS leinster
Thank you for the tour around this graveyard. The sisters killed on the RMS Leinster is such a sad story. Almost 600 died that night. It was just a month before the end of the war and at a time when the Germans were trying to secure an armistice. Such a sad and idiotic waste of life.
I'm from Somerset County, PA, USA. I Love your videos! I have ancestry from England, Ireland, and Scotland. I have always been drawn to the old cemeteries, and I feel a connection somehow. Thank You for sharing. 😊
I’ve just found you. Im rapt. Im a Cavanaugh descendant . My people settled generations ago in Warrnambool, Australia. Plus i just was born fascinated with the ancient. Nice quiet channel. Makes me want to go there. And thank you both.
The nurses were such lovely ladies. Sad . At least they can rest in peace together,and to be remembered for their service for the sick and injured. God bless from Oklahoma U.S.
I just subscribed. I'm from Wisconsin in the USA. You have a nice way of presentation. Cemeteries have always fascinated me. We had a cemetery at the top of our street when growing up and we liked to go up there and try and find the oldest tombstones. Some even had photos on them. In the last several years our Catholic Church has been doing a nighttime remembrance/prayer service in the cemetery in late fall. Everyone who attends gets a candle in a jar. You walk to your loved ones grave and put the candle on it. There are tiki torches at the beginning of each row so you can see where you are going. Afterwards we go to a small building in the cemetery where people have brought refreshments and we get to socialize with others from our small catholic village. Someone from the church will come later and blow all the candles out and collect them. My sister gets freaked out about this walk but I find it calming. It's beautiful to see all the candles glowing throughout. Thank you.
Thank you for the upload. Very interesting to see the old, historical Friary. Also, fascinating to see the old burial ground and the mausoleums. So much history there!
What a beautiful, restful place ... I can think of far worse places to rest for all eternity : ) Thank you for taking us along. I really need to visit my Irish roots one day! Love your channels XX
Back in 1985 and 1986 I crawled all over the Abby. Have rolls of film. If remember correctly the Abby is built on an old Viking stronghold. The Butler Family: that shelf to the left of the three plaques was where small human bones that percolated to the surface were deposited (mostly finger and toe bones). I was told the last of the Butler Family, when the coffin was placed, the door was locked from the inside by some mechanism not to open until unlocked within at the 2nd Coming. I returned with friends a few years ago. Discovered the place locked up and only open on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Was a great place to explore years ago. Thanks for the memories.
I love your videos! You respectfully show us all you can of the beautiful graveyards. I only discovered your channel a few months ago, and have watched many of your older videos, and hope to see them all. This one was especially interesting. Thank you for reading as many headstones as you can. These people had lives; they lived, loved and died, and should not be forgotten. There is such a beauty in the memorials family and loved ones have put up for them.
What a beautiful old abbey. Thank you for giving us a tour and sharing some history, I love history, and I'm glad they have it locked, too many disrespectful people around nowadays.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you to come back on a day when it's open GV, or you can magically get your pinkies on the key!! The inside looks intriguing and just as amazing as the outside. All those Celtic Crosses....be still my beating heart, lol, Thank you for this wonderful adventure. Stay warm you two! Deb of Oz XXX
Thoroughly enjoy your channel. Ireland being top of my bucket list if only I'd win the Lottery. Our surname shares the name of a council & a Straight in the North Channel. I'd spend months just researching ancestry via Graveyards/Abbeys/Libraries. I thank you so much for doing this channel for we that can't visit Ireland. God Bless You. Cheers!
Beautiful architecture in this old cemetery. I'm glad you were able to get a snake camera in those small openings exposing the conditions of caskets and open remains.
Raddy, ddy, thank you this channer, the cementery is large yard, the weather is lk cool, brighter the scenery is lk quiet and beautiful, is lk tidy, neat seen it lk seniors graveyard, great, amazing, thank you this channel to know and share, bless with stay safe and takecare, good luck.
I really enjoy these videos. I've been to the UK rhree times. I was in my early 20s and travelled from Canada to visit family. I spent a lot of time visiting the old cemeteries there. We have nothing like them here in Vancouver as our history is fairly limited compared to that of the United Kingdom. Fascinating stuff! Thank you!❤
What an amazing, beautiful place! We are doing a tour of Ireland in May and so looking forward to visiting your beautiful country, very excited! Just found your channel, thank you 😊
This is absolutely amazing what you’re finding. Absolutely amazing. I’m so glad I wandered on here tonight I go on RUclips every night but I was notified tonight for the first time and I saw I was already subscribe to your channel. This makes me want to come to Ireland I love that you and I guess your wife explore all this I’ve always been interested and intrigued by cemeteries in funerals and stuff like that I probably should’ve been a mortician.
I just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying your channel. I love the cemeteries you take us to. Very beautiful and full of history! Thank you for always being very respectful, too!
I believe that at one time, each nursing school had its own hat. That nurse would wear it for her career. So, a nurse could identify a fellow alumni by hat. I'm not sure about the required uniforms of the era. If they were work or school related.
Angel with monk hairstyle. Beautiful old place, real thought has been giving to placing the graves in such a way that there would be room for as many parishioners as possible. Thanks for the video.
I love it. Maybe if you ask for a private tour with history of the old Abby they might do it. Being I am American we have nothing like the old churches and Abby's you have here. It is good to remember not only soldiers losing their lives in war but also nurses and doctors. I really respect that. And the Captain from the Revolutionary War was most interesting. I like the pictures you show of these people. Fascinating indeed!
I went to a church in England and they had several graves inside in the floor. I made sure not to step on them. They had several coffins on the sides. Then they had a room full of bones. It was the Elli Cathedral. It was beautiful and sad, there was a room that had small Saint Statues and the sign said that they were broken off by people. It was so sad. There was a stained glass window of Mother Mary and they said that when the sun would hit it you could see her up in the sky. It was the most beautiful Cathedral that I got to visit there.
Such a BEAUTIFUL place, Thank You both for sharing this with us. Something I myself would have never had been able to see in this lifetime, but have because of you. 😊
Hi GV it's beautiful hope you are well thanks so much for sharing this video you really do a fantastic job love it it's such a same to see them like that rest in peace 🙏💐 family s i can see that you like the black and white potatos and Angels i love the Angels lovely video and loads of history thanks for sharing GV take care and sue love what you both do 👍x x love you both ❤️
Hi G.V, those are beautiful ruins of the old Abbey, or Friary...I love the look of the old Celtic crosses, they really make the Cemetery!!! God Bless You Guy's!!!
New subscriber here! I really enjoyed this video. It took me back to when my husband and I visited all of his very many cousins in Ireland. We also visited the graveyard where his Lynch ancestors are all buried in Co. Cavan. We live in northwest Ohio in the USA. I look forward to binge watching your other videos in the evenings!
25:30 I really like how you lit that up so you could see the relief as an angel. I always associate the style of sculpture used to make the face of the angel as something from the Celts or the Puritans in the USA. A very severe and stern image... almost scary....like the Death's heads....
Sorry Cathal,, I’ve just looked at your video again ( so much detail to see!) I must have missed the river when I asked if one was near…. It would have been wider and deeper, but I’m sure that’s the way the stone for building would have come , but have no idea where it would have been originally cut ….you answer one question, and set another one! 😂🤣 BFN! Helen 🙋♀️😘xx
I wonder about that in every video. The construction, engineering and architect is amazing in itself for the times, but the mystery for me is where in the heck do they get the massive amount of stones to build these. It is not like they are built in rocky areas.
Here in Oregon (USA) we have lots of Woodsman of the World markers. I saw some wonderful cast iron tree trunks in a cemetery in Southern Oregon. Seems for a time after the town once burned folks turned to iron markers. Same with the downtown, as it was rebuilt the storefronts were all cast iron as well.
A big friary or abby it is beautiful so is the graveyard. I enjoy after my day is done when i can relax and watch your's and Sue's videos. I so love each and everyone. Thanx GV and thanx Sue.❤😊❤😊
Very interesting and beautiful. I had an ancestor who was a stone mason and 'repaired the face of an angel' that got damaged in a graveyard in Liverpool.
Hi VG . EXCELLENT post watched last night and today. Awsome skeleton. Nice plagues really interesting. I was going to start looking around my area in Norfolk, but laid up with bloody Gout at moment. Least I can lay here with my foot up. Watching you and sue. Till the next time.
A coffin in a cemetery close to us. There was pink pieces along the walkway in the Cemetery I had to take long steps to avoid stepping on them. I'm for underground burial not just because of that it assures they are undisturbed.

history is great eh Tina ?@@tinasummers4578
Good info thanks
Headed by an Abbott, not a Friar,.
Nuns also lived in Abbeys.
You have some of the most beautiful cemeteries in Ireland. The architecture is gorgeous! The weather is perfect too, cold, damp and dark? Yes please!
It really is! So much history here
I love your videos. I very much enjoy hearing Irish folks speaking. You could be reading a phone book and it would be entrancing.
Thanks for the video. Those collapsed coffins with the exposed mummified remains were definitely scary. Oh, and nice hearing your wonderful Irish accents.
Thanks for watching 👍🇮🇪
The corpse built up decomposition gases and exploded. Gross!

Great video, loved the abbey, pity we didnt get in, maybe one day
Hope so too. Those and the crypts fascinate me and the thought they just become abandoned left to crumble away.
The Abbey was magnificent, and what a beautiful graveyard and surroundings. Wonderful video. ☮️💜
What an amazing location and I love listening to your voice giving the history, I love your accent 🌹🪦💀⚰️💀🪦🌹

Hi G.V, those are beautiful ruins of the old Abbey, or Friary...I love the look of the old Celtic crosses, they really make the Cemetery!!! God Bless You Guy's!!!
Many thanks! ☘️👍
New subscriber here! I really enjoyed this video. It took me back to when my husband and I visited all of his very many cousins in Ireland. We also visited the graveyard where his Lynch ancestors are all buried in Co. Cavan. We live in northwest Ohio in the USA. I look forward to binge watching your other videos in the evenings!
Thanks for watching and subscribing. My grandmother was a lynch
25:30 I really like how you lit that up so you could see the relief as an angel. I always associate the style of sculpture used to make the face of the angel as something from the Celts or the Puritans in the USA. A very severe and stern image... almost scary....like the Death's heads....
Sorry Cathal,, I’ve just looked at your video again ( so much detail to see!) I must have missed the river when I asked if one was near…. It would have been wider and deeper, but I’m sure that’s the way the stone for building would have come , but have no idea where it would have been originally cut ….you answer one question, and set another one! 😂🤣 BFN! Helen 🙋♀️😘xx
I wonder about that in every video. The construction, engineering and architect is amazing in itself for the times, but the mystery for me is where in the heck do they get the massive amount of stones to build these. It is not like they are built in rocky areas.
Here in Oregon (USA) we have lots of Woodsman of the World markers. I saw some wonderful cast iron tree trunks in a cemetery in Southern Oregon. Seems for a time after the town once burned folks turned to iron markers. Same with the downtown, as it was rebuilt the storefronts were all cast iron as well.
This was amazing to watch what a beautiful Abbey stunning place
Glad you enjoyed it

Just found you. What a beautiful place. From New Mexico, US.
Welcome! Thank you for watching
Very interesting and beautiful. I had an ancestor who was a stone mason and 'repaired the face of an angel' that got damaged in a graveyard in Liverpool.
Hi VG . EXCELLENT post watched last night and today. Awsome skeleton. Nice plagues really interesting. I was going to start looking around my area in Norfolk, but laid up with bloody Gout at moment. Least I can lay here with my foot up. Watching you and sue. Till the next time.
Get well soon Stephen and I hope you can get out to explore 👍
@@GraveVisitations thank you.
A coffin in a cemetery close to us. There was pink pieces along the walkway in the Cemetery I had to take long steps to avoid stepping on them. I'm for underground burial not just because of that it assures they are undisturbed.
Beautiful place and wonderful calming voice
What a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Glad you enjoyed it
