Watch this incredible story unfold, from Canada to Ireland... A family tossed a message in a bottle into the ocean and 13 years later, it washed ashore 3,000 km away in County Kerry. Proof that Ireland has a way of drawing stories (and people) back home. 🌊💚 | Ireland Family History

Happy World Poetry Day to all members of Ireland's Family History. ✍️ Only poetry has the power to translate Ireland’s soul into words. Ireland’s poets have always looked to the spoken word to evoke feelings, awaken memories and paint vivid pictures of our island’s natural beauty. It helps us to feel closer to our ancestral lands. For World Poetry Day, we’re paying tribute to one of Ireland’s most celebrated poets Michael Longley, who sadly passed away this year. Mr. Longley was born in Belfast

🎃 Happy Halloween! Halloween feels a little different in Ireland and that’s because it started here🔮🕸️ Over 2,000 years ago, the Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in) saw people lighting fires to ward off spirits, wearing disguises so they wouldn’t be recognised, and sharing stories that blurred the line between this world and the next. Today, that same mischief comes alive in Ireland with nights of fire, folklore, and a whole lot of fun. Send this to the friend who’d be first to say

Happy Saint Brigid’s Day, from the island of Ireland. 💚 Today also marks Imbolc, an ancient festival that welcomed the first signs of spring and a new agricultural year, a time our ancestors would have marked as one of renewal, hope and fresh beginnings. Saint Brigid sits at the heart of both faith and folklore in Ireland. Traditionally believed to have been born in County Louth, she later founded her monastery in County Kildare, places that remain closely linked to her story, with traditions a

If there’s Irish in your story… there’s music in it too. 🎶 Maybe it was sung at a kitchen table. Maybe it echoed in a quiet church hall. Maybe it was shaped into being, by hands that knew how to make a bodhrán. Bodhrán making is a craft passed down through generations - a rhythm carried not just in music, but in memory. Your ancestors might have shaped their own songs from wood and skin, too. Are you familiar with the powerful sound of the Bodhrán? 💚 | Ireland Family History
