Great man. What kind of idiot would give a thumbs down?
Thank you. I guess you can't please everyone. ☹️
People still call it a famine, it was ethnic cleansing. A hard but beautiful story.
Great story!
What a loyal and determined father and husband… can you imagine sitting down with the two of them?… the tails they would have. It’s incredible they lived into their eighties too.
He never gave up on his wife and children such lovely ending to this story ❤
God love the Irish 💚🇮🇪

Thank you. When I lived in Australia, I worked with a good few Kiwi guys. Some of Irish decent too. Great guys. Thanks for the comment. 🇮🇪😉😃
Sláinte from Serbia! Thank you for sharing these stories with us. We can't read any of it in the books or learn it in the school, thank you so much!
Thank you Marko. So glad you enjoyed them.
What a fantastic and extraordinary story, wonderfully narrated, it personifies the innate Irish nature of love, courage, passion and determination.
My belief is that anyone who is truly Irish, either born there or with strong roots, are part of one big family.
The inter-connectivity between Irish families are astonishing. In a small way my own Irish family would have contributed to this fascinating story, because a distant relative was instrumental in founding the Roman Catholic community in Australia. He had been transported to Australia some years earlier, having taken part in the United Irishman Rebellion. But he was more closely associated with the building of St Marys Cathedral, but could well have had some involvement with St Andrews Church too.
So glad you enjoyed it. Your own story is also fascinating. If you have any information on it, I'd love to research it. I'm always on the lookout for intriguing stories. My email is threeminutetales@gmail.com. Thanks so much for you comment. Much appreciated.
So very proud of my irish heritage XXX 💕💕💕
Sad but lovely story.
Thanks David. Glad you enjoyed the story. Much appreciated.
This is fantastic stuff, please keep the irish theme going. Story's like this and your previous video need to be told. I could watch this all day long.
Thanks a lot. It's funny, I've received a number of similar comments regarding the Irish theme, so I guess there may be an appetite for it. I really appreciate your time and your comment, as I feel it somehow validates my work and for that, I thank you again.
@@ThreeMinuteTales No Problem, I think a single individual's story like your last 2 videos give a really good insite to the times that have gone before us, even more so than the broader picture that everybody is used to hearing.
Keep it going, your doing a great thing and I'll deffinitly be watching out for more of your videos.
Really enjoyed that ,human endurance in terrible circumstances.
Thanks pal. Yeah, I agree. Amazing tenacity.
Makes me cry 😢😢
What an amazing story and courageous man, thank you for telling his story. The poetic justice of taking the silver from Ventry to get to the US. I don't say 'stealing' as he would have been entitled to cart the whole house away (and then some) if he could have done! Having spent time in Ventry and Dingle, a question: why didn't they change the name of the village back to whatever it was prior to 'Ventry'? It seems a crime to have such a hideous family memorialised in the village name.
Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the story. I suppose like lots of streets, towns and even cities all over the World, many places still hold the names of historical figures, good and bad.
Thanks so much for uploading these stories. So enjoyable . Please keep it up much appreciated
Regards Declan
Thanks Deco. Cheers pal.

Thanks so much for listening. Glad you enjoyed it.
Love conquers all ❤️☘️
It does indeed. Thanks for the comment.
Nice video bruh
Thank you buddy. Much appreciated.
It was not an gorta mor or beag
it was a genocide. A systematic killing, torturing and enslavement of the Irish.
Wake up because it ain't ancient history neither, tis happening right now.
Thanks for the comment. Yes, I agree. There is a wonderful book available on Amazon by Chris Fogarty, called The Perfect Holocaust. Well worth a read
Yes Mr Fogarty's book is excellent and he uncovers the mass graves.
The seanachies up in Donegal told us the tales of what had happened and Mr Fogarty's book lines up. The Irish GOV is currently run by traitor and enemies working to destroy irealnd and they have succeeded thus far.
BTW excellent story and told very well. maith thu fear maith.
Slainte
@@seamrog3593 Thank you....and with regards to our current "Government" I couldn't agree with you more.
And they wonder why we drink.....
My ancestors survived the Patoto famine by the help of a Maryland industrialist, by the name of Arnold.
He had an iron works in Mt. Savage MD. He hired Irish Catholic immigrants to work during the Patoto famine.
As the family store goes, my great-grandfather, John, (who was 5 at the time) was taken to Mt. Savage by his grandfather.
The rest of the family couldn't come, because the grandfather could only
take John.
John grew up in Mt. Savage, and became a Black Smith.
It is unclear whether he fought in the Civil War.
He could have been exempt because he was an iron worker, or he could have fought for the Confederacy.
The family never said.
He started a successful Black Smith Shop and raised a family in Pittsburgh.
Wow. There is a story in that. Would you mind emailing me your email address so I can contact you directly. I’d love to hear more, if that is okay with you. My email address is threeminutetales@gmail.com
Someone make a movie about him
where is the picture of the family at 7:03 from? It's important to me. Please.
I don’t think this is a photo from Ireland. I may be wrong, but the headscarves do not look like ones Irish women would wear. I think it is from somewhere like Armenia . It is a powerful photo and I would like to know where it was taken too.
WOW////
