Irish Roots Cafe Videos: History and Genealogy

www.Irishroots.com Plantation of Ulster Video short From the Irish Roots Cafe Broadcast Network. The Plantation of Ireland, Video Short. Number 8. Shownotes. _________________________________________________________ Filmed live at the Irish Roots Festival workshops this year. Todays Video Topic: Time: 1:52 The Plantation of Ireland and the Wild Geese Genealogy and Historical Record http://www.irishroots.com/id4055.htm All Lands Lost Quoting the text we find that: "With only two, or perhaps three exceptions, every native landlord, and every native tenant within the bounds of the six counties was dispossessed and displaced; and although a few of both classes were afterwards permitted to share slightly in the great land-spoil, it was only in some other and less attractive localities than their own". Indeed many would eventually come to the shores of North America and other foreign lands as a result of this loss. Of the main families the records show that the Maguires (or McGuires) who occupied Fermanagh; The O'Hanlons who occupied ONealan and Orior; The Macanas or the McCanns of Clann Breasail (Clanbrazill); and the MacMahons of Monaghan; the ORiellys, the O'Cahans and others, had a long and distinguished history. How had several families in the area 'disappeared' by the 19th century ? _________________________________________________________ Summary I thought this an important work for anyone interested in Irish Genealogy or History. As a result we published this work as a hardbound 4 volume set. It is much more than just the listing of names, it is a specific look at the history of the day, which continues to affect the Irish into modern times. For a more detailed look, complete with a photograph of the completed set, visit my web page at: http://www.irishroots.com/id4055.htm

A 34 book set on Irish Family history and genealogy, the largest collection ever in print. Research for this project began in 1978 by author/editor Michael O'Laughlin. The final volume was published in 2009, with an final index appearing in 2009 -2010. The complete set contains over 3,000 pages and 1,000 illustrations. It is available as a set or as individual books from www.Irishroots.com Our aim was to help people find and research their Irish family history. Experienced researchers know that to include the family history of every family in every county would take a book as big as a railroad car. This obviously is impossible in printed form. We have, however, managed to amass the first collection of its kind in print. There are more names, illustrated arms and locations in this source than in any before it. I hope it will start many on their way to more complete Irish family history.

The Annals of Ireland by the Four Masters. _________________________________________________________ Filmed live at the Irish Roots Festival workshops this year. Go to the link below to listen to all 5 of my broadcast series on iTunes ! http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=299857025 Run Time: 02:53 A Rare Irish History Originally written in the Irish language, this book is also a year by year timeline of Irish history. The events are organized by year, sometimes noting the 'great wind' that caused much destruction, or the slaugher of O'Reilly by O'Rourke one year, and O'Rourke slaughtering O'Reilly the next..... How it came about The patron of the 'Four Masters' or 'Four Friars' declared that all the known history of Ireland be compiled in one work, so they went forward from Donegal to collect all the fragments of the old books that existed. This was in the early 17th century, and perhaps the last opportunity to do so before the final collapse of the Irish culture. Some of that history now survives only in in these annals. This is well recorded in the introduction to this work. See my blog at www.Irishroots.com for full show notes.

Shownotes. _________________________________________________________ Filmed live at the Irish Roots Festival workshops this year. Todays Video Topic: History of the Irish in America Broadcast Here is where we have a chance to cover local history in America (or anywhere in the world really). I started this podcast with the story of the Irish in Missouri, primarily due to the information I had uncovered when writing the book 'Missouri Irish' in 1984. It was first published as 'Irish Settlers on the American Frontier.' We have interviews with quite a few folks, telling the story of the Irish in the region. We cover Irish politics and the Pendergast regime, the early settlements of the Irish here, including the Irish Wilderness under Fr. Hogan and in Kansas City under Father Bernard Donnelly. We also cover the Irish in Savannah, Georgia. This was due to the interest and activity of Walt Harper, who has a good knowledge of the subject, for starters. I enjoyed taking the Irish Roots Cafe mobile unit down to Savannah and speaking there earlier this year. The Irish are represented very well in Savannah, and that would include Kevin Barrys on the waterfront. HIbernians, Dancers, and Singers are out in strength in this historic town. Our next season should begin in 2009, assuming I can get some help from an interested local historian in your area ! Time: 2:44 Please do send your comments and suggestions for our next episodes !

Shownotes. _________________________________________________________ Filmed live at the Irish Roots Festival workshops this year. Todays Video Topic: The Worlds First Irish Families History and Genealogy Podcast The Irish Families podcast began in 2006, and was the very first such weekly podcast ever produced. Since then we have added 4 more broadcasts, including those enhanced with photos and live web links and full video podcasts and broadcasts. I began with 6 sessions from way back, around 1984 that I recorded around the time of St. Patricks Day celebrations. The recordings had been sitting for several decades, and little did I know they would be of use in launching the Irish Families show. These six shows covered genealogical research of the day. The explosion of research on the web today has made things much easier. The basics of Irish research remain the same however. We have since included interviews with DNA experts, Irish from around the globe, authors, dancers and friends. It's all to help us connect with our Ancestors and our heritage. And of late we have added an enhanced version with photographs and links....
