There are several books by Carol Bennett who writes about the Irish that settled the Ottawa Valley in Canada. While some of the information is specific to that particular group, a lot of her books set the stage for what was happening in Ireland and the nightmare of the voyage to North America and trying to settle a new land. http://www3.sympatico.ca/juniper2/booklist2.html Take a look!

Diane, Thank you so much!!! I can't wait to check it out. I need to communicate to my parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and second/third..cousins the life that they led inorder for us to all be here in the States. Probably most of them won't get it but maybe I will have a few who's interest it will spark... The sad part of it is my father is the last McNamee to live in Xenia, OH; where my McNamee's immigrated over 150 years ago - it when he is gone it will be the end of 150 years of McNamee's in a small midwestern town.
