A Weekend in Inishbofin
Вставка

- This weekend I traced my roots back to Inishbofin, Ireland, the least populated, most beautiful little island I've ever been to. I also got to know the sheep population a bit as well.

Thank you for this very touching video.

Beautiful video & such a great story. Im sure your great granny would be very proud!!!
My great grandparents also lived in New York for awhile, working at a hotel before Richard started working for the railroad.
Cecilia, my grandmother was from Inishbofin and grandfather from nearby Letterfrack. Do you know who the woman is who compiled the family trees for the island?
Yes! Her name is Marie Coyne and she is so sweet! She runs the Inishbofin Heritage Museum & Gift Shop on the island. I believe she has a UA-cam channel and there's definitely an active Facebook page for the museum/shop that you could contact her through! facebook.com/InishbofinHeritageMuseum/
@@ceciliabeth9335 Whoops, I should have read comments before asking above. Thanks from a fellow Inishbofin descendant!
Wow! That was great, what history! Wish you could find where the Mizelle's boys came from in France. So many stories. Great video, thanks for posting. :)
I am only seeing this video now fyi there is another inishboffin in co. donegal
My grandmother probably knew your great-grandmother! Bridget Lally (ne Cloherty) was born on the island approximately 1898. AND she also immigrated through Ellis Island and spent her life in Brooklyn/Queens! Small world :-) Is there an way to contact the woman in the gift shop about her family tree project?
Sorry - just found your answer in a comment below -- thanks!
When is your next video? :D Keep it up!
