I am Irish and I find it painful to watch this and other videos. I cry as I watch them but I must watch. I learned all this in history lessons in Ireland but it is only when you are older and far away from your homeland that you appreciate how they suffered. Greatest people in the world are the Irish!

An amazing video so important the images of people long past, are not forgotten. My ancestors left Mayo, Galway and Conamara about the time of the Great famine. Settled in Yorkshire England. My late Father in Law also settled in Yorkshire leaving Clontia Bonniconlon Mayo, when he was a young Man in the 1930, He told me his Mother was heartbroken he was leaving because her 4 other Sons had already emigrated to either England or America. No telephones facetime or emails then. Thanks for the video.

I noticed that invariably the adults had shoes, but often the children not. How could adults shoe their feet while leaving their children barefoot? So shocking.

[@missmuffet3874]

@@skatergirlskatergirl2486 maybe it’s because the children’s feet were growing so they couldn’t afford to buy shoes so regularly but an adult could buy shoes and they would probably last for years being repaired, etc. Don’t know for sure, it’s just a thought.

According to my understanding, the Scots and Irish did not agree with the Catholic Christianity of the British and believed in a different Christianity, but this is just a belief that was taken from them, that Christianity originally came from Syria because Yeshua spoke Aramaic and Roman Latin and spread to white Europe, maybe they drove the blacks to a different Christianity and then with them went against the British who believed in Christianity Catholic, but it's just faith, not race
