Do you have ancestors who emigrated from 1800 to 1900? Author wants your story

Author Clare Conway is writing a book on Irish ancestors from 1800-1900 who moved to Canada, Australia, US, South Africa and other countries.

She said: "I believe it is important to remember our ancestors.

"I'm also looking for stories of those that stayed in Ireland and how they survived.

"If you have ancestors that came from Ireland and emigrated to another country I would love to add you in my book.

"Would you consider donating a story and being part of my book with a photo of your ancestor and a short bio/story?
