Irish Like Me

Part of the Greatest Generation, Dot, Lib, Gilly, and Freddy were born in New Hampshire. Both of their grandmothers were Irish Catholic immigrants. One grandfather was born in New Hampshire, the son of Irish Catholic immigrants. The other grandfather was born in Maine, and his roots extend to the first wave of European immigrants, primarily English Protestants, who arrived in New England during the 1600s. This book tells the stories of Dot, Lib, Gilly, and Freddy's early years and shines a light on the lives of their grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

This book is non-fiction and filled with colorized images of the way it was. You will get a glimpse into the lives of people who once lived in the counties of Clare, Cork, and Kerry, Ireland. You will travel with them to the New Hampshire towns of Andover, Concord, Franklin, Manchester, Nashua, New Castle, New London, Penacook, Portsmouth, and Wilmot. If you have Irish blood which was seasoned in New Hampshire, this book will provide insight into your family history. If you have a Carroll, Cunningham, Cushing, Fitzgerald, Graney, Liddy, Lorden, McCormick, Merrill, or Sullivan on your family tree, you may find his or her story between the covers.
