Lead volunteer: Roisin, IrelandXO Volunteer ☘
Ballymacelligott (Kerry)
Carolyn Rourke was blown away when local volunteers Rosemarie and David were able to locate her Rourke ancestral lands in Ballymacelligott, County Kerry.
Following her visit, she noted "We were quite moved at standing in the place where our ancestors lived and loved and from which the eight siblings were driven by The Great Famine. " Huge thanks to Rosemarie and David who give up so much of their time to help returning Irish connect with their ancestral roots.
Tell us about your connection and we will be in touch to confirm whether a volunteer is available.
