What a fantastic page. So much information not only from one's home country, but from one's own home village - Lackagh. I live very near the Lackage Museum. I am now living in Zurich, Switzerland and sometimes think of the home place - but with this wonderful page, now I have my home near me once again. Fantastic work.

Enjoyed the visit to your web site.  The west  of the island looks great. Any suggestion as to where I should start looking for a house?  Estate Agents, areas? and so forth? I'd like to keep in touch.  I'm a secondary school teacher in San Francisco.

You have done a superb job with the layout, the graphics, and the music!!  Thank you for the wonderful "surf!"

My name is Melissa Conley and I am currently living in Bradenton, Florida after being raised in the state of West Virginia where my (paternal) Great Grandfather settled after leaving Galway, Ireland in the mid 1800's.  He settled there on a 900 acre farm, living off the land in poverty until gas and
oil wells were discovered.  Needless to say it's a rags to riches story yet all the while the family has maintained the Irish humbleness rather than making a status in the American society.  My (paternal) grandmothers family came from Galway as well, she is from the Keffer (or Keiffer) clan, but I do
not know the extent of her family history as I do the Conley, which was O'Connlley, then shortened to O'Conley and finally to Conley.

Thank you for sharing your web site....along with your talent, your knowledge, and your compassion with me, the world, and everyone else out there that discovers it.  I only hope to someday travel to Galway to learn more of my heritage, family history, and to visit the birthplace of my ancestors. Keep up the good work!!

You went to Canada but you didn't come down to the states?  Next time you're in the Canada area you should come on down to Montana.  I guarantee you'll like it.  How close are you to County Kerry (spelling may be bad)?  That's where I have family.  Oh, by the way, nice page.  I liked it.

I'll be back in Galway the second week in January, its been 5 1/2 months since the last trip and your pages warmed the heart, re-awakened good memories and made the heart ache a little bit. Thanks for the "visit" and keep up the good work. I'll revisit often.

Hi I thought your site was lovely - especially the bit about yourself.  I really liked all the views of many places i visited often in years gone by.  Me, I live on the sunshine coast north of brisbane in OZ (of course at least 35 percent of the population have an Irish background.  I've been in OZ 25 years but I was born in Belfast in 1934, my granfather comes from Ballineen in west cork, my mother was born in Dublin and my father comes from Islandmagee in Co Antrim. As a man from Clare once said to me in CIE, you appear to be the worst possible combination. Have a really good xmas and keep adding to your page

the Journey

For those who have just joined me on this page why not go to the beginning of our travels and see some of the places in The Start of Our Journey through the West of Ireland.

My Place Amongst the Stones gives the history of my company name, Moytura - a celtic heritage going back thousands of years.

We journey to my own parish of Lackagh - a small village just 12 miles from Galway with a mighty big history. Learn all about the Battle of Knockdoe - one of Ireland's bloodiest of conflicts in the 16th century.

We then move on to take a quick jaunt around Galway City; and then to the heart of Connemara - with its wild and wonderful beauty.

From there we journey south into County Clare and see The Burren - a place that has lain undisturbed since the Ice-age and of immense botanical, ecological and archaeological importance.

Visit Ireland's finest early monastic heritage centre in Clonmacnoise, County Offaly; and to my favourite of all the early Christian Church locations - Clonfert, South County Galway, with its beautiful tiny 12th century Cathedral of Saint Brendan. Come with me around the grounds and see the Bishop's Palace and the 1000 year old Yew Walk.

While on the Clonfert pages, you can learn a potted history of Saint Brendan the Navigator, possibly the first European to set foot in North America in the 6th. century. And join me in the celebrations when this tiny cathedral was listed in the World Monuments Watch 2000 most endangered monuments.

Come with me on my 'Famine Journey' which starts in Westport, and moves to Sligo, my Dad's County and the departure port for many of the 'Coffin Ships'. This part of my journey ends in Grosse-Île on a tiny island east of Quebec City.

On this page you will learn some of the history of our Famine Refugees and find the final resting place of over 6,000 of my country folk who died within sight of their first freedom in over 300 years. This is where many of the Irish roots in North America started.

Our Journey moves on to other places on that visit to Canada where we see Quebec City and some of Ontario's lovely places and then to two of Canada's famous Catholic Shrines - Saint Anne de Beaupré and to Cap-de-la-Madeleine.

Finally, join me on my pilgrimage to a peaceful haven in a war-torn country in Medugorje in Bosnia-Hercegovinia. The other areas of my Web site can be found in the drop-down box below.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY

The telecommunications industry goes from strength to strength world wide, especially with de-regulation opening up most countries to healthy and cost-cutting competition. The company, for which we are Independent Consultants, has been so successful since its European start-up in 1998 that it has now expanded from the UK to Ireland  Belgium,  the Netherlands, and the USA. It plans to expand even further in the very near future - to:

Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Mexico, and Poland.
If you, or anyone you know, living in any of these countries would like to start a home-based business, the opportunities are enormous as this company is only just beginning and, as Independent Consultants, everyone will be in at the very ground level. E-MAIL for details or check out the WEBPAGE.
