What are the directions for Ireland?

I’m excited to announce my story just published at IrishCentral, Directions for Ireland, travel and Irish genealogy, May 22, 2023. Learn about Irish travel and genealogy to jump start next trip to Ireland. I also answer a few frequently asked questions about travel to Ireland.

This is a video I created in April 2011, searching for family roots in Knockanarroor Townland, located just east of Killarney in County Kerry. Knockanarroor, pronounced “knock-on-a-roar”, is an unmarked dirt road where my Foley family lived and worked before the Great Famine in Ireland. The opening views in the video are on a horse and cart ride through the Gap of Dunloe, Killarney.

Enjoy!
