An American in Inishowen
07.04.10
AN American tourist has
sent us some photographs he took while on a
genealogical holiday in the peninsula last year.
Dan McFeeley, who discovered his roots in
Carrowmenagh thanks to a book written by local
historian John A McLaughlin, wanted to share his
local photo journal with InishowenNews.com readers. |
Dan, 55, from Illinois,
and his daughter Rachel, were enchanted by the
"stunningly beautiful" peninsula and its rich
history. He was moved to learn about the legacy of
the 1881 evictions in Carrowmenagh that prompted his
great grandfather Michael McFeeley's emigration to
America in 1885.
InishowenNews.com editor, Linda McGrory said: "We
would like to thank Dan for taking the trouble to
send us such an interesting selection of photos. We
all know how beautiful Inishowen is, but it is very
interesting to see |
 |
|
snaps of places that
are off the beaten track and don't always make it
into the tourist information guides." To see Dan's
