My maternal g-g-granda, Hugh Monaghan, emigrated from Donegal to the US aboard the ship 'Clare' during 'An Gorta Mor', the Great Hunger.

Hugh arrived on June 6, 1849 in NYC only 19 and illiterate. It was never his desire to leave his beloved Donegal; he had no choice. Had he not emigrated, he would have died of starvation just as millions of Irish men, women and children did. Through his courage and determination, he gave us (his descendants) the most precious gifts of life and freedom.

I hope you find the Irish-American and Irish history information and resources on this page useful. Enjoy!
