    My great great grandparents, Mich McGrath and Ann Munley were born and raised in Northwest Mayo. They were starved out in 1848 or so and left for Pennsylvania coal fields thereafter. A common narrative, but the only one I have connecting me to Mayo!

    I am from Ballyvary Mayo my family left when I was 3yrs after generations and generations of living in the same place must go back hundreds of years and one change then everything changes. But now these days they talk of information from your ancestors existing in your dna. Irish people are all over the world so if lived experience is transferred to dna strings then these old ancestors have travelled all over the globe too.
