Work in Progress:
The Scotti Palace in #Narni Umbria, Italy.
This is the result of two hours of drawing onsite. Further development in the studio comes next, along with research of the place and some writing.

Templar Tower - this little area in #Viterbo, behind the Papal Palace was the headquarters of the #KnightsTemplar for a while in the Middle Ages in the 1100’s.

What a pleasure it was to draw by the canal in Utrecht, south of Amsterdam. Boats lazily floated by. Families and friends ate by the water. In this, the first day out of the big city, I noticed how quiet it was, because so many people use bikes instead of cars. #uskamsterdam2019

St. James the Apostle is the second oldest Catholic church in Manhattan and where my earliest Irish immigrant ancestors were married in 1866. This was a rough and tumble area back then. Long ago, there was a gate across the front as protection from anti-Catholic mobs.

The Lynches walked through this big doorway uninvited and poor on June 7, 1884. Before them, other ancestors, the O’Days, did the same in the spring of 1865. Millions of Americans can trace their families to this doorway at the southern tip of Manhattan: Castle Gardens.

Due Vespas, Via della Bonta, Viterbo, Italy.

A project I’m now working on is researching my immigrant ancestors and drawing where they lived. It combines two hot topics: #immigration and #genealogy. The records I find resemble the immigrant ancestor’s house that stood before me in this picture, far from complete.

My immigrant great-great-grandmother Mary Sullivan Lynch lived in this house for a year in 1903 as a widow. When She died in 1911, the obituary in the newspaper described her this way: “She was a woman of pleasing characteristics, and her death will be deeply regretted.”

It’s about 78 miles from Plymouth Rock to this other rock in Gloucester, Massachusetts. I’ve read that Anthony Day, my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather probably sailed from one rock to the other around 1642.https://t.co/JnkbnYGQJ2

Guns for Hire: when my ancestors emigrated from Kerry, Ireland in the 1880’s they came to #NorwichCt and found themselves making pistols in this Hopkins & Allen factory. In 1905, the warehouse was robbed of its entire contents.
