About this listen

In a special episode, Fin and Damian delve into the intricacies of 19th-century emigration, answering listeners' questions about this pivotal era. Discover how people managed to reconnect with relatives and friends after leaving Ireland during the Great Hunger. Learn about the ingenious methods used to send money home long before the days of Revolut or even telegrams. And what currency could you use? Explore the impact of the American Revolution on Ireland. Uncover tips on tracing your family roots back to the 19th century and understand why so many Irish place names can be found across the United States.


We hope you have a wonderful Christmas! We'll return in February with Season 2, but stay tuned for a bonus episode or two before then!
