As a genealogist this episode touched me , I hope your Monn comes back to see her homeland , Ireland always calls back her own so I'm sure she will 😊 wouldn't it be wonderful if the family could buy the house & restore it 😊

I'm half Irish, my mum grew up in Kildysart, co clare. I'm forever grateful for my summers spent on my uncles farm, riding the ponies down to the lake for a swim, climbing about in the burren, freezing our butts off in the atlantic! I still have cousins there that love to surf at Lahinch x

Me and my cousin went to Ireland to trace her father’s footsteps. Colleen my cousin ended up mtg cousins, found the house where her father was born in a tiny village. Colleen came home with a family tree. We’ve never met such, friendly, helpful people. Was brilliant!! 😊😊

You're better off staying away. The Ireland you knew is long gone. It has been destroyed by mass illegal migration and globalism.

As Stephen Ray said in the film 'Black 47' ... Ireland is beautiful but you can't eat the scenery.

Too many people, not enough arable land to feed them. I live in the US where we have 40 million people of Irish descent. Many, if not most, are descendants of the “Famine Irish.”

[@fionmccrudden4731]

Hi it’s unusual for first generation Irish not to have relationship with Ireland? I grew up in London and our entire community pretty much went to Ireland every summer to grandparents and cousins… it’s a shame you didn’t get that experience because it’s impact is lifelong connection. I wrote a play about this and how first generation kids grew up with their parents saying ‘ we are going home ‘ . Glad you made it back to the village .

[@DeeLee-c9y]

I've just watched your video which just appeared in my feed. Absolutely brilliant. I'm Irish from Dublin with roots in the West Coast and you did an amazing job of capturing the heartland, and the spirit, of the West Coast of Ireland, which is so beautiful and the people who are very friendly. I have a tear in my eye as your film footage and scoring is beautifully done to capture the real Ireland. Thank you very much for sharing and I hope your Mum and her sisters get to come home and see the town and home where they grew up. Enjoy the rest of your travels. ❤❤

[@tarey05]

What an exciting and heart-warming adventure brilliantly edited and scored! This one had me shedding quiet tears, as Janine neared her mother's ancestral home, where she lived well into her teens! And what a beautiful woman your mom is! Love the old photos! Watching Sean McCormack debate out loud with himself whether to escort you to the house was just so Irish, so adorable! Wish we could have seen you and Liam in the pub (for a pint) and the church ur mom and family frequented! Perhaps you could bring her back there one day. Love seeing the dramatic peninsular cliffs, the bright, glorious sun and of course the iconic house of Fr.Ted. I'll have to watch a few episodes this week in honor of! As a first generation Irish american (paternal; 3rd generation maternal) who visited friends in Mullingar over 20 years ago, I deeply appreciate this episode! Thank you so much, dear ones! ❤

Thank you, really means a lot when you give us feedback like this ❤️

Has to be one of the best vlogs in your Irish adventures. Did you ever think that you would ever find your Mum's childhood home? That was quite emotional. Incredible. Compliments to all of your music choices Janine, your editing skills are incredible. It's become tradition on a Sunday morning lie in, Tea, Pate on toast, and Those Happy Days. Sets us up for the day. Thank you for the compulsive vids. ❤

[@ingridbrowne6083]

I just loved this episode. When you walked into the house and outbuildings, I could imagine your Mum and her sisters running around outside, playing. I am sure she had happy times there. But we also have to accept how hard life could be back in the day and I expect that is the reason many of us Irish left for the UK. My love and best wishes from Sligo.

[@WeareCreatingMemories]

Absolutely brilliant. So happy for you Janine, finding such an amazing part of your history and to see your mums house still standing uninterrupted to this day, is so so special 🩷 I’m sure your mum is absolutely proud as punch of you for doing this and bringing her back so many special memories 💝

Thats your best film yet! So lovely and personal it made me cry. The pubs in Doolin used to do great music sessions and I love the Burran. Thanks again xx

[@RoslynHillLatchHookCrochet]

Your editing skills are incredible. I found this episode epic, stunning, exciting and at the end I was quite emotional for you both , especially for Janine in finding her roots. Many years ago I busked in Ireland with a friend who sadly passed away in her sixties. I lost touch with her , but we wrote a folk song together which begins….In a sleepy little hollow south of Galway bay, where the pier road reaches out to see …da, de de da… Doolin is a place I’d like to be. I found a beer mat with an Irish toast written on it…. which became the chorus of the song. ‘ And we’ll raise a toast, an Irish toast, long life and health to you. A land without rent would be heaven sent. And when you die you’ll die in Ireland.’❤Thank you for the memories xx

[@SwamperJez]

...and thanks to the Cafe owners, along with most importantly Sean, have undoubtedly made this journey down memory lane the one that will remain with you forever. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Fabulous to see this next chapter, and Janine visit her Mum's old village, and the actual childhood home.

Looking forward to seeing the next video. Hope all is well, take care of yourselves

[@seadrifter8975]

Sitting on a 300 feet cliff face will wake you up in the morning . Spectacular

[@journeytakesatrip]

How fabulous to find your Mum’s childhood house and to be able to go inside. Sean was an absolute star for taking you all the way there. If your Mum’s family just left and didn’t sell the house then her and her sisters probably still own it and you may be able to do the project you spoke of and renovate it to preserve it and stop it falling down, and to have an Irish base to return to between your travels. I’m heading to Ireland myself later this summer/autumn and hope to try to trace my family history while I’m there, though I have a lot less information to go on and I’m going back a further couple of generations to my Great Grandparents (I’m only a quarter Irish as both my Nanna’s parents were Irish, though she was born and raised in England.) If I was lucky enough to find a ruined house that belonged to my family however I’d take on a renovation and preservation project in a heartbeat.

[@ThoseHappyDays]

We hope you find what you are looking for there, but know that there will be adventure whatever the outcome 😀

[@journeytakesatrip]

@@ThoseHappyDays The adventure is the main reason for going! 😉 Just one part of a much bigger adventure as we are travelling around the entire coastline of the British Isles in our converted 7.5 ton removals truck. We’ve already travelled around Scotland and are currently in Wales, so Ireland is next. I don’t know if I’ll be able to find the family history information I’m looking for but finding a few names of my ancestors and a town/village that they lived in would be amazing if it happens along the way.

[@omansnowball8027]

The old nation census are available on line and are free and helpful in a search. Parish records can also be helpful if you arrange in advance.

What a wonderful episode.❤ Liam looked very contemplative on the island, and you could see Janine's joy at finding the family home. I loved that you found the Father Ted house, and the Banshees of Inisherin settings. If you go further up the Wild Atlantic Way to Achill Island you can see the house on Keem Beach where Colm lived. The scenery is beautiful there too. How lovely to finish with your Mum and her family photos ❤ Stay safe and happy travels xx

Ahh a choc ice. The traditional "power ball" of the Irish for generations! Every irish journey must include a choc ice. I knew Sean was from good stock when he went straight for the choc ice. You know your getting close to your destination in ireland when the road has grass growing up the middle of it, two high ditches either side. So narrow that two prams would stuggle to pass each other and your praying another car, van or tractor doesnt come from the opposite direction 😂
