    How wonderful to have that locket and photos. :)

    Funny, today I was watching the Nat Geo programme about Ireland and that horrid Cromwell.
    I then asked my Mom about our ancestors from County Cork and County Limerick. I had to write down the names of my ancestors so I can research them some day.

    I am 7th generation and wish I had pics from way back. :( I only have pics of my G.G.Granny and unknowns :(

    I got a photo of my Great Grandparents last year, it was taken in 1914 when their son my maternal grandfather was about to go to the Somme aged 18.
    When I enhanced the photo I noticed they were dog lovers too.

    The Vikings were far worse to the Irish than Cromwell.
    They kidnapped them and traded them as slaves with the Ottomans and Russians.

    Burke was English/ Norman and was later introduced into Ireland in the 12th century

    Dublin, Ireland`s first city and capital was formed by the Vikings.
    I`m just watching a documentary on the Viking empire right now.
