[@JamesKerLindsay]

Excellent! A bumper video this time. And as always I learned so much. Thanks. The pride for your home county shines through. :-)

Thanks! People from Cork do love to tell the world about Cork!

COUNTRY

[@jessikamoore5033]

Just confirmed today my 3rd great grandma and her family were all from Cork and I am so excited.

[@dondamon4669]

It’s where my dad was from and is now. The countryside part. Cows just strolling about!! I loved it!

[@lindsayhengehold5341]

This is where my family is from :) So want to visit County Cork someday!

[@AnimeForLife0]

The perfect video for the project I need to do on Cork! Amazing work.

[@Salem_S.]

I found out my from my grandmother that her grandmother came from County Cork. This is super cool to learn about my Irish roots! Wish to visit one day and really get back to the roots of my Irish Heritage. I'm American, but REALLY want to know more. Thank you!!!❤

[@morrisondavenpower]

This is a phenomenal video.Thoroughly enjoyed!!

[@JJLCFC]

This is excellent, going to watch more of these. Thanks!

[@GeographyWorld]

Thanks!

[@bethbartlett5692]

I've never heard Cork pronounced this way. Interesting. My lineage if largely from Kerry, but also Cork and Mayo (Sullivan, Murphy, Lynch, and Cole), I look forward to an extended stay in County Kerry and vists to Cork. Irish American, Chicago

[@Winnie_woo_22]

I think this guy is a special member of the cork community ..well that’s my imitation .. never been but recently finding out my family immigrated to Liverpool England from cork ..my next mission is to find out my relatives that moved to the states ….i have a lisp too so can’t make fun 😂😮😢

[@pinkhelmet2]

A very interesting and informative video. Thank you!

[@Thomas-t8c5q]

Don’t forget the Blarney stone(hopefully I spelled that correctly)

[@HumanityArchives_AmbienceWalks]

Great video! I learnt a lot!

[@lisasenior1463]

Tom Barry's mother and my grandmother were sisters. Unfortunately i was part of the diaspora so love these videos as i don't really know my country.

[@haroldinho9930]

Can you make more of these please because I can’t wait for County Down, my home county and current place of residence.

[@GeographyWorld]

I'm currently working on the Derry video so then it's just Donegal before Down!

[@michaelcsherman]

My paternal DNA matches closest to County Cork and I really enjoyed watching your video.

[@RyanLopezlove]

Mine too. I’m an American living in the American south and my family is from Cork.

[@karenhoole2308]

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks!

[@GeographyWorld]

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

[@lindaeasley5606]

I have ancestors that were from County Cork in the 16th century . They eventually migrated to County Tyrone and then to America in late 17th century

[@jamesmonahanmusic]

Wonderful video. 😊

[@skyedog24]

Thank You for the concise account of Cork 🍀.

[@Edwardfan272]

1:53 that made me jump 🤣 😂

[@macker33]

The oldest neighbourhood in america is called corktown.

[@leiregyp5814]

oldest neighbourhood is detroit* takes a simple google search

[@tyberiksen]

I think the accent would give away whether youre in Ireland or Italy 😂 these videos are AMAZING, Im a huge fan.

[@goonyougoodthing]

Looking forward to my county next. Derry (Never Londonderry)

[@goonyougoodthing]

Just seeing the end of the video there. Pretty sure 'Danny Boy' is of Derry origin. We have Derry girls of course. The town is called the maiden city because its walls have never been breached. Niel Gannon and one of the lads from Coldplay are from here. We basically use the word 'hi' as a full stop. Everyone from Derry (including hardcore loyalists) call it Derry. We had the oldest department store in Europe (Austin's in shipquay street) before it closed about 12 years ago I think

[@richiehoyt8487]

There is something about the biggest (or most prestigious) department store in a given town or city that would give one to believe that said department store is about the most solid and secure of that town's businesses. To have seen so many go, starting in the '60's and right up to the present, on account of urban blight, recession, out - of - town 'big box stores' and of course the internet is as depressing as it is startling...

[@gerrymccarthy9568]

As mentioned below, you forgot Corktown in downtown Detroit, founded by immigrants from Cork in the 1840's, recently rejuvenated. Also there is a Corktown in Toronto!

[@Lobster6863]

19:42 The vessel 'Lusitania' was not torpedoed by the Germans but by the ((tiny hats)) so the the US will join in the war effort. Sad so many perished by a delibrate act of terror.

[@lc9462]

I come from a long long LONG line of people from Cork. My Nana left Ireland in the 1950's and came to Toronto! My Mom was the first person in their family not to be born on Irish soil ever. Like ever, and I'm only in my 30's! Thanks for showing me part of my history!

[@Aliehs2672]

I am related to the Nagles of Cork...Nan O' Nagle & Sir Edmund Nagle.

[@cycklist]

Very thorough indeed! Great stuff.

Thanks!

My Great x3 Grandfather John Kennedy was from County Cork and his wife Kilkenny.

[@joegrande4848]

I too have family in Kilkenny

[@geraldmullane6497]

Loves cork 😊

[@timemechanic5055]

You mean there's an explanation for Cork!!!!!

[@GeographyWorld]

It's my attempt to explain as much as I can!

[@richiehoyt8487]

Yes - it was the last thing created by God on the 6th day, this shining city on the hill, as a symbol of his benevolence and magnanimity towards Mankind... and the majesty of his great taste, of course!

[@RyanLopezlove]

I’m an American with roots in cork and have little to no information about my heritage, as I just found out I’m Irish and Scottish. I am wanting to learn. Point me in the direction for some good books. I’m interested in history and folk tales, like things my ancestors believed.

[@joegrande4848]

To me doesn't matter what part of Ireland you're from. My family is yes from county cork but others parts of Ireland being proud of being Irish is a good thing regardless what part of Ireland you or your family is from

[@carrigadaashcroft]

Cork loves you ❤

[@antonolder5560]

I am descended from a Thomas Coughlen or spelt Coughlan or Coughlin who came from Cork & settle around Mendip Hill in Somerset England - He came I believe to work the Mendip hill coal mines from 1841 onwards.

[@castlekeep2789]

History of surname " Morrow" in cork in Ireland. Was told it was a Mariner name. We Irish mix are in Ontario Canada. :) Thanks for your video! :)

[@sheilataranto8356]

This is where we reorganized and sent our company to in Ireland. There are wanting people to come over and start businesses no taxes so we can do Wi-Fi and cell phone services in that country and they speak English. They say we can make a lot of money there. Oh, Noah, Irishman here.

[@oscyk]

yessss

[@paulmccarthy6373]

Kinsale in Montserrat, west indies.

[@KimCuongOnline]

I took a 23andme DNA test and it says my ancestry is Irish and with the greatest concentration of Irish DNA being from County Cork. So most likely my ancestors came to the U.S. from County Cork.

[@DizzyDaze]

Same Brother!

[@LoquaciousByNature]

My ancestors came to the US in 1860, from County Cork.

[@dearg_doom]

You can stop the series here, sure it's the only county that matters

[@bethbartlett5692]

Does Cork not have an Airport, everyone has to fly in and out of Dublin? ???

[@GeographyWorld]

@@bethbartlett5692 Cork Airport is the 2nd busiest in Ireland. It's a lot smaller than Dublin and only flies to European destinations.

[@seamusburke9101]

Thats some Cork accent this fella has.

[@GeographyWorld]

And for Cork standards, I don't have a very strong accent!

Ireland needs to unite. Sadly in historical times if Ireland was united England wouldn't of been able to take over northern region of Ireland

[@bethbartlett5692]

Not possible and that was not the case. You must read or listen to the History. They were stragetically put in N Ireland for several purposes.

Who where the Cramer family from Cork? That's my grandfather's father's side DNA through a man name Ambrose Nicolas Yates (Cramer) he took up a man that wasn't his father last name which was (Yates) so my DNA & last name should be of a Cramer.

[@20yearsinthecan657]

This is informative for sure but you mentioned “the great famine “ a number of times. Although it is still thought in schools as most of our accepted learned knowledge was written by our oppressors. It is however now widely recognized that no such event ever took place in Ireland ( most of our patriotic songs tell the true story ) People starved for sure …..but due to more chilling reasons . It would be much more accurate and appropriate to omit such stories from accounts of Irish history.

[@ArandomdudeArandom-xd4yi]

Call this a bad idea but.... to to start a mass debate by saying 1 sentence. cork should be the capital.
