Virtual Chelmsford Genealogy Club: Irish History, Part II with Tom Toohey on Zoom #1
The second Irish history lecture covers the time span to from the Flight of the Earls to the beginning of the great famine. Some of the major events during this time period include The Rebellion of 1841, Cromwell’s invasion, The Battle of the Boyne and the penal laws, the rebellion of 1798 and Catholic Emancipation. This lecture ends with the death of Daniel O’Connell and the beginnings of the great famine.
Tom's many visits to Ireland have given him a definite perspective and historical context to his family stories.
