I can’t believe that it is thirty three years since I first heard this magnificent soundtrack by Carter Burwell. Miller’s Crossing’ is the greatest #irishdiaspora film imo. https://youtu.be/IVMtmUDflS8

This is one of the very best images of Irish troops from the American Civil War. Surprisingly, it's not very well known, despite Thomas Francis Meagher's presence. Taken in the summer of 1861, it contains lots of fascinating details. A short🧵on some of them👇#IrishDiaspora

‘This paper argues that the #IrishDiaspora has a key role to play in #decolonization not simply because of the history of anti-colonialism in Ireland and [Ireland’s] role as a test site for British colonialism, but specifically because of the need to extend sentiments about national liberation to the nations whose oppression the diaspora has become entrenched in.’

"In the hospital in Sligo Town, the undertaker’s assistant was bathing Bridget Ellen while her children were flying or sailing across the Irish Sea from scattered points throughout England..." Willesden Herald Story Of The Month for February 2023 is The Rings by

We look back at November. Two stories for Rememberance Day, one is a personal account that may elicit a tear or two, the other a story of a milk run in post war Germany. Next are the Irish culture in Liverpool. and the closure of the Turkish Baths in Carlisle.

Seeing the influx of new people today reminded me that I have not done an #introduction. My recent journal articles are in #BenthamStudies, #intellectualhistory and #psychoanalysis. Previous work on the #sociology of #taste and #aesthetics and #designhistory applied to #fascism and #racism, the latter published in a series on #anthropology. I was born into the cotton mill working #IrishDiaspora in a town in the North of England and grew up in #NorthernIreland in the 1970s. Now live in #London.

My Irish family, arriving up north a generation before the famine, traveled all over the US and didn’t leave wills. They are difficult to explore. The famine #irishdiaspora of my husband’s gardener’s community in Mobile, Alabama, put down roots and some left wills. Via a will made my first connection yesterday with one of the families, Costello, back to a brother in “Carn Charleston, Mayo, Ireland” and another who had emigrated to Batley, Yorkshire, England who a census states was born in Carn.

"When I got back to my empty room I suppose I must have cried"

That's the loneliness of an emigrant, right there.

Piecing together Irish immigrant families of the Great Hunger who moved to Mobile, AL, came across an interesting listing. The below ad is for the wrong Honora O'Brien, but we see how people were searching for one another, taking out ads in "Missing Friends" of the Boston Pilot. Honora had lost track of her brother, James Dwyer.

The linked news article says from 1831 to 1916 the "Boston Pilot" ran 45,000 ads seeking information on #irishdiaspora.

Irish products in the World Foods aisle at Sainsbury's, Kenton this afternoon (Monday) #IrishDiaspora

#irishdiaspora #irishgenealogy of the #greatfamine in the 1850 census in Mobile, Alabama is quickly recognized with households of a handful of different family names, though sometimes a mother and child or 2 siblings are present, all recently immigrated. Many were young adults and married within a few years. Marriages were bonded and there would be a co-signer. One finds further links in the community by examining the co-signers.

Motivated by being on the Irish server, I dug back into my husband's #irishdiaspora, more interesting than mine as his was a number of families that formed a trunk-farming community in Mobile, Alabama, so there are several generations of marriages within the diaspora. This time I was surprised to finally dig up a family origin more focused than #countymayo. An obit gave Baletta. I realised this was Ballina, but an Americanized variation on the Irish spelling Béal an Átha. #irishgenalogy

Fives years ago Cine4 was established to stimulate the creation of #IrishLanguage films. Prior to Cine4, only a handful of feature films had been made in #Gaeilge.

We asked Colm Bairead about the international audience's reaction to the language as he screened An Cailín Ciúin (The Quiet Girl) From Busan to Brussels
