'An tOcras Mór' The Great Hunger.

My great grandparents Michael FitzGerald and Helen Sweeney were from Cork, as thousands of Irish men and women they were forced to emigrate in order to survive. I was born outside Ireland and have never lived there. But my Irish roots are strong and my love of Ireland is deep, the passing of time and of generations have not weakened this attachment.

My childhood memories are filled with Irish songs that my dear grandfather sang, songs that he had learned from his mother.

I am very interested to learn more about 'our history'.
