The Moroneys of Cork...

During my sabbatical this past semester, I was privileged to spend some time in Ireland, working on some liturgical projects with Father Anthony Ward, SM.  More to come on those in the near future.  While there, however, I was able to visit the small village where my great-great grandfather was born, and from which he emigrated after the death of his own father during the potato famine. Here is a short video with the story of how the Moroneys left Cork in 1851.
