The Condons and the Gradys From Ireland to America: History, Essay, and Genealogy

"This work is the equivalent of a shanachie telling stories of the past at a wake or shebeen." (from Chapter One, Being an Irish Family)This story started with a set of old letters in a box.Working on your family history? Read one award-winning writer’s entertaining path through archives and public records, through memorabilia and memories, tracing a family tree from Ireland before the Great Hunger, through the Famine, to Boston and Kansas City, to Chicago and the Union Stockyards, and to Fort Worth, Texas, and the cattle business. Those Condons and Gradys were really something! Deep research, stories, and photographs combine to reconstruct the particulars of historical lives. Many children and sibling names included, and many sources and references cited, with particular attention paid to women. Not a workbook, but an illustration of one illuminating path through the past, written by a direct descendant curious about lives that came before, and the times in which they lived. Context, the author believes, is critical to understanding the past. Includes an extended section tracing individuals through the Famine and the diaspora, and an extended section on the Great Chicago Fire.Looking for direct connection?
