Interesting story about the Irish being dumped off shore in Wales. I wonder
if any of my Leary/O'Leary ancestors suffered that fate. They migrated there
during or just after the famine where I found them in the 1861 census
records. Previous to that my g.grf. married my g.grm. Johanna Sullivan in 1855 at
the Dowlais Chapel, which I later found to be St. Iltyds, but I really don't
know their history in Co. Kerry before that. Fortunately most of them came over
the pond to western PA between 1881 & 1890, and probably some before that
from Ireland.
