My ancestors lived between the mountain and sea, in the remote townland of Roads (formerly Rhodes and before that, Na Róda). This place is quiet and hidden from the nearby Ring of Kerry. Here, the sky is always changing and the rain blows sideways. @GrimArtGroup #ireland #usk

In 1901, James O’Connor O’Brien and his family lived here on Ballyhooley Road in Cork City. His late brother Michael’s family lived right down the street. They were the ones who stayed in Ireland when seven siblings had left, one by one, for Boston. @GrimArtGroup #usk

Thin alleyways used to snake off the roads of #Cork back when my ancestors lived here in the 1800s. Most are gone now, but not Sullivan Alley.Accessible through a hole in the street’s facade, it’s like a secret place and it holds a long-lost tragic story from 1921 #grimartgroup

My two days of meandering in the South Parish section of Cork City were drizzly and grey, affording only a few opportunities to stop and draw on the sidewalks. this house which was once the home of Wm and Kate Connelly Crowley in the mid 1800s, my 3rd great grparents. #GrimArt

At the turn of the last century, there were two Michael Ivers on this road in Churchtown South, Cork, IRE. "Big Mike" and "Small Mike". This Ivers barn was Small Mike's. My research shows that the house was also a pub and that the barns held a blacksmith shop. @GrimArtGroup #IRE

It was from here in Cobh, on the southern coast of Ireland, that the last 123 passengers of the Titanic walked these planks on April 1912. Five years earlier, my gr-grandparents crossed over this dock in emigrating to America. They now call it "Heartbreak Pier." @GrimArtGroup

Lighting struck the Round Tower of Cloyne in East Cork on the night of January 10, 1749, breaking its pointed peak. The soaring 11th-century structure lost six feet of height, but still stands today, high above the town. @GrimArtGroup

Digging up research on our ancestors unearths bad news with the good.
Michael O’Connor was arrested for street fighting on 12/13/1880 in Cork. Because the report states he lived at 42 Gilabbey Street, on the city’s south side, I can identify him as a gr-grand uncle of mine.

St. Finbarr’s South Church is the oldest in Cork City — open since 1766. Named for the legendary founder of the city, it sits on a side street near the River Lee. It’s thanks to their deep records that I know my maternal ancestors go back pretty far in this very old neighborhood.

On May 26, 1884, a huge steamship, the Furnessia, made a very unusual stop at the small island of #Valentia, Co Kerry, IRE. It took my family and many others away from #Kerry - to America. The Lynches’ last views of Ireland were here, by this lighthouse at Cromwell Point.
