So in the 30 years since I started my ancestry, and research within Ireland, County Cavan & Antrim were two Counties that were mentioned.  I now see a Nathaniel Barber in Monaghan Co, and would like to know if this may be the real person, I am looking for.....Nathaniel was born about 1785, and married likely sometime about 1810, to Elizabeth Williams, they had 5 children, 4 born before emmigration to Canada: James (1817); Francis (1825); Samuel (1829) & Sarah (1831).  I am going to assume they left Ireland shortly after Sarah's birth, as their last daughter was born in 1837 in Canada - Eliza.  Any shove in the right direction would be very much appreciated.

Thanks to all my Irish kin

Love to visit someday

    Travelling Folk in the 1930s

    <p>Between 1937 and 1939, primary school pupils across the Republic of Ireland interviewed the elderly in their neighborhood to collect and record local stories and folklore from the 19th century. "The Schools Collection" as it became known is held by the Dúchas Folklore Collection in UCD and is and has been digitized online at duchas.ie. One of the topics schoolchildren were asked to write about were "Travelling Folk" or An Lucht Siúil. </p> <p>Here is a selection of what "settled" children wrote about travelers in the late 1930s.</p>
