France and Ireland 2026
Posts from the trip to France and Ireland that I took in 2026 with Mom, Aunt Kay, Aunt Colette, Cousin Dan, and Cousin Pat. This was a “genealogy tour”. We visited the grave of my great aunt, Sister Margaret, who went to France at age 16 to become a nun, and then traveled to Ireland to visit some of the places where our ancestors were born.
I’m taking my mom and her two sisters (all in their 70’s and 80’s) on a bit of a genealogy tour. We’re traveling to France to visit the grave of their great-aunt who traveled from the farms of North Dakota to France to become a nun just after World War I, then on to Ireland to see County Cork and County Kilkenny where my Mom’s side of the family hails from. Next stop Boston, then Paris! #travel #France #Ireland
