Читать книгу Collins Tracing Your Irish Family History - Ryan Tubridy, Anthony Adolph - Страница 38

The spread of the Irish around the globe dates back to ancient times, but it reached epic proportions with the Great Famine. In this section, we will look at the seven countries to which they migrated in most numbers, following a rough chronological order – England and Wales, Scotland, the United States, Canada, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand. But these are not seven separate stories – all extended Irish family trees span each of these countries, and the accounts of invasion, transportation, colonisation and economic migration are an extension of Ireland’s own story.
