How wonderful! My paternal grandfather's family were from Dublin. Planning to go when this travel madness is over and they all had large families with traditional names like Seth and Eden. We have deep green eyes and intense blue as well. Wish I had more of the family history but intend on researching.
The Quiet Man is one of our all time favorite movies. John Ford's cinematography is a love letter to Ireland...so breathtaking! Did you know he cast his brother in the movie? Two of Maureen 's brothers were in the movie as well. I'm afraid we can quote all the lines from the movie. Heehee.
"When I drinks whiskey, I drink whiskey. And when I drink water, I drink water." - Michaleen O' Flynn (Barry Fitzgerald, who was so perfectly cast. He's adorable!)
When I'm overwhelmed by all of the evil we've researched for so long, I escape by watching a classic movie.
Take care and may the road rise up to meet you fren!
Heehee...love that scene! So typical, as you say, of human nature and especially the Irish. Charming and hilarious!
What a challenge you had digging among all those Patrick Joseph Murphy's born on the same day!! Well done fren! Hope to do as well as you when I start my search.
