Well, I finally sat down and watched the documentary, Out of Ireland: Emigration into America. I thank my relatives for sending a copy and have spotted it on Netflix streaming now.
The documentary is very well done and includes some very familiar celebrities narrating the program. I finally realized about a quarter of the way into the program, that the American gentleman doing most of the in person commentary was Prof. Kerby Miller, himself.
Prof. Miller was rather integral as the first to fully review the Flaanagan Letters belonging to my family. The program was quite interesting for sure giving me a better perspective on the plight of the Irish immigrant.
