    Ep. 62 Mug Ruith In Kashmir On Valentia Island

    So much fun this week, who knew?! On a much lighter note, Char and Jack sifted through a maternal line we weren't quite sure was correct. With the help from a new found cousin, we found the Murphy's from Valentia Island, County Kerry. Looking into the island we discovered just what a very compelling and charismatic place it was and still is.  Following our Lynch line back to Valentia we found the Murphy family very intertwined.

    Ep 64 The 1890 Census...It Burned Up

    We have wanted to chat about the 1890 Census for some time and are happy to say we have made all your wildest dreams come true this week.  In 1921 the collection of papers that compiled the census data of 1890 encountered a significant loss due to a fire, but what we found was this wasnt the first brush with fire for these precious documents! Who was the dancing Professor and why was George intoxicated on the job?

    Ep 66 Listener Ep 13 We Have To Call It Yodels Of Odles

    Our listener episode for this month is so very rich in cultural heritage that we were pleasantly overwhelmed!

This family began a chapter, weaving their own narrative into the tapestry of this historic town that then led the family to branch out to Hammonton, NJ.
