Subject: Family Histories - Margaret Feeney - My Irish journey

Margaret Feeney wanted to know about her family history, especially because after her father’s death there wasn’t anyone who could answer her questions about it. What she knew was that there were three generations of longshoremen in her family, as it was usually to the Irish men, during the early years of the 20th century.

She decided to reconstruct her family history starting from her grandfather Martin Feeney, but, it wasn’t so easy because in every record in what she searched was written just that he was born in Ireland, but not in which city.

After a series of disappointments, Margaret had the help of a researcher and finally discovered that her family came from Lettercalla on Leitor Moire Island. She went to there and found the house where her ancestors lived and she discovered also that there were a relative of hers who still lived there.
