Hi Lisa,
Love your blog. What a family history! I am involved in something that might be of interest to you.
The SEVENTYMILLION Project is a social project to find, map and connect the Irish diaspora worldwide. There are, it is said, 70 million people in the world who claim Irish heritage. Our project is an attempt to find this community and explore what Irishness means to them.
The project is not about Ireland. It is about Irishness and all that Irishness means to people of Irish heritage worldwide. We have created a map at www.seventymillion.org which we hope will act as a central location for this discussion and exploration. We've set up a blog there to let people know how the project is going.
We'd love your help in getting the word out there about what we are trying to do. Simply go to our site, and have a look around. If you feel it's something valuable then add yourself to the map and profile your Irish heritage. From there you can invite other people to join the project. Or, you can just tell your friends and relatives about the project.
We hope that, with each person we contact, we get a little closer to our goal of finding, mapping and connecting the seventy million Irish people worldwide.
Cheers
Karl
