Father’s Day is a time to honor our father. I wanted to share about my late father Martin J. Walsh Jr., (1924-2008), to honor him today on Father’s Day. My father spent his career working as a telegrapher and station manager for the Great Northern and Burlington Northern Railroad, 1943 to December 31, 1984.

My top viewed blog at my website is Top 10 pointers to launch Irish genealogy search, originally published June 22, 2022.
It’s the same story that’s been featured and republished a few times at IrishCentral online, most recently January 8, 2026.
Today I’m reposting my story with tips to help you search for your Irish family roots. Many of the tips I learned along the way trying to splice together my family’s lost history.
My dad’s 1953 vintage photos from Ireland are featured below. You view more photos of Martin J. Walsh Jr., 1953, online gallery, Flickr.
