I am a web designer  located in Connecticut, USA and came across your site while looking up info on Business Networking International -- BNI (I am in the process of joining a local branch). I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed traveling through your website. The colors and graphics are beautiful. The information is very impressive. I did an article on Grosse Isle a couple of years ago -- I wish I had as much info as I found on your page to help me in writing it! You've done a great job on making your site easy to browse through.

In addition to being a web designer, I am the editor for the newsletter for the local chapter of Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann. The web address is: http://www.blarneystone.com/comhaltas -- forgive the lack of updates. Info comes infrequently so it may not be up to date <cringe>. My wife and I play Trad Irish music and she plays in an Irish group with a fiddler from Galway Regards, Jim Smith

Surfing the Web" for information about Connemara and would be remiss if I didn't say how much I enjoyed your site.  My wife and I live in the Chicago USA area and will be vacationing in Recess during early June (our second time in Connemara). Hope to find a store to hear some of the fine music accompanying your website. Willmark your site as "favorite" and remember our 1999 trip to your area. Thanks. Dennis Butler

Excellent site; enjoyed the music. My son, Eric wrote you regarding the family land donation for the building of the Ste. Anne de Beaupré shrine. I am responding regarding our link to that event. Our last name is Veilleux, changed from Verieul sometime after a700 a.d. My great (x 8) grandfather, Nicolas Verieul lived as a contemporary of Etienne Lessard, and donated money so that the church could be built. Etienne was the great great grandfather to Marcelline Lessard, who married, Jean Veilleux, my great, great, great grandfather. Whew, I'm glad that's all straightened out.

Hello - did you happen to notice a lighthouse, or vestige of a lighthouse, when you were on Grosse Ile in Quebec ? I have not been able to find any info... I intend to go there some day, but it turns out most of my ancestors passed through the other portal to Canada, which was located on Partridge Island in the harbor of Saint John, New Brunswick. Come visit my page, and thanks for your efforts:

An absolutely delightful evening on your site. Was preparing to drive into Boston College for the TIARA meeting and the rain started - so here I am on-line. Dennis Ahern, the web master-http://world.std.com/~ahern/TIARA.html - had hyperlinked the emigrant.ie site into one of his notices. That is where I found you. Not only am I of Irish heritage, but also of French Canadian ancestry. I especially enjoyed reading about Cap de la Madeleine, where an ancestor initiated the rosary, and St Anne de Beaupre, where another ancestor was the first convert recorded at the shrine. A hundred thousand thank you's.

Thank you so much for your hospitality. I've surfed a lot of Irish web sites and yours is the most personal and welcoming of all the delightful places I've visited.  I feel as though I've barely scratched the surface and I will return often over the next 6 weeks.
My family and I (on any given day, 10 - 18 of us!) will spend the month of June in Cahirciveen in Co. Kerry - it's a time of transition for us as the youngest child of the third generation of Alaskan Reilly's graduates high school.  My brother has travelled to Ireland six times waiting for my sister and I to finish raising our children.  The time has come and we will all join him as he shares his passionate love for our ancestral homeland with all of us.  Your site has only increased my excitement.
Thank you from another Sagittarius, who is not a graphic designer, but who manages the business of one half a world away from you....

Just returned from our 3rd holiday in Ireland. We fell in love with Kinvarra this trip. As it usually is, it is the people. In this case, Mrs. Maura Fallon whose B & B we stayed at. Would like to find a place in Kinvarra to rent for a month or two each year. Any leads?

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.

Moytura Graphic Design has expanded enormously since it's humble beginnings just a few years ago and has taken a new business venture which can be operated from home on a full or part-time basis. You can learn about this work-from-home opportunity here.

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.
