We decided to make a day trip from Kilkenny to Enniscorthy to try to uncover some genealogical data on our Irish ancestors (the ostensible reason for our visit to Ireland).
Very surprisingly, Barbara asks a parking inspector for clues about our genealogy.
Even more surprisingly he went to the trouble to call the people who should know the info Barbara was after and secures their contact information.
I believe this is St. Sennan's Church.
This is Castle House.
Well, it is time for lunch which we have at Rackards pub.
Hurling (chasing a small ball around the field with a shillelagh (club) to be used on the ball unless someone gets in the way) is the principal sport of the region.
The museum commemorating the May 1798 rebellion of the United Irish against the English was in Enniscorthy.
The rebellion (and its political apparatus) was centered in Wexford.
The lady at the Center was very helpful in describing where we might get some genealogical clues.
