These are just beautiful, they make me feel very, very sad, though. Do you know of anyway, Pádraig, that one can edit the broadcasts to delete the non-famine segments? I'm cross-posting your email - with your assumed permission - to Cavan, Cork, Limerick, Co.Tipperary and Co.Galway, Ireland Lists. Just great! ***** Replies to the List Only, Please ***** Pádraig Mór, An Sean Gabhar ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrick Casey To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2007 4:33 AM Subject: [IRL-CLARE] RTÉ broadcast series: Famine Echoes Those who are interested in the histories of their Clare families rather than the purely genealogical aspects may like to listen to the RTÉ broadcast series entitled Famine Echoes at http://www.rte.ie/radio1/famineechoes/1115374.html The accounts are very moving and help one understand the struggle for survival which so occupied the minds of our ancestors in the 19th century. They also help put many of our modern-day trials and tribulations into perspective. My thanks to Peter Beirne of the Local Studies Centre at the Clare County Library in Ennis for calling this valuable broadcast series to my attention. Pádraig (the Paddy that was)
