Gene-Tripper
Imagine standing on the front stoop of your ancestral 'thatchie'. Or perhaps they lived in a castle. Envision yourself walking through the crumbling ruins of the churchyard where your great-great-great-great grandmother is buried. Fancy finishing off the day with a pint of Guinness and some foot-stomping fiddle and banjo music in the same untouched-by-time local pub where your ancestors socialized!
If you've traced your ancestral roots to Ireland, this is a great year to combine your ancestral jaunt with a visit to Ireland. The Gathering Ireland 2013 promises good times as Ireland celebrates its history, culture and all things Irish. There's more to Ireland than just St. Patrick's Day.
