Gem of a place - important part in Irish history and connected to one of the most famous photographs in the world
Kiltartan Gregory Museum的点评
点评:Had heard about the Museum over 20 years ago whilst researching my family history and had written to Sister de Lourdes Fahy so took the opportunity of being over in the west of Ireland to pop in and was not disappointed.
Absolute gem of a place and staffed by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteer (sorry didn’t get the name but we were there on the late morning of 1 August 2024) - lots about the Gregory family and the school’s history but also that of Kiltartan/Gort including its link to one of the world’s most famous photographs!
I bought, and am currently reading, Sr de Lourdes Fahy’s excellent book on the history of Kiltartan which has plugged a few gaps in my genealogical research (my great grandfather was born in Glenbrack).
Big thanks to Sister and the volunteers for keeping this important piece of, and insight into, Irish history alive.
翻译:20 多年前,我在研究家族史时听说过这个博物馆,并写信给卢尔德·法伊修女,因此借此机会来到爱尔兰西部参观,果然没有失望。
绝对是一个宝地,工作人员是一位热情而博学的志愿者(抱歉,我不知道名字,但我们是在 2024 年 8 月 1 日上午晚些时候到达的)——很多关于格雷戈里家族和学校的历史,还有 Kiltartan/Gort 的历史,包括它与世界上最著名的照片之一的联系!
我买了卢尔德·法伊修女关于 Kiltartan 历史的优秀书籍,目前正在阅读,这本书填补了我家谱研究中的一些空白(我的曾祖父出生在 Glenbrack)。
非常感谢修女和志愿者们让这段重要的爱尔兰历史得以流传,并深入了解爱尔兰历史。
