Eight Generations Revisited continues the
story of our family published in 2011 in
Eight Generations and adds more than
two centuries of details in the lives of our
ancestors in Erin, Lietuva and America.
Eight Generations Revisited leads from
nineteenth-century huts built of wood
and thatch to the teeming tenements
of twentieth-century New Jersey and
from turf fires and lime kilns to home
computers and the Internet. The story
leads from naive superstitions taught in
hedge schools to graduate degrees from
renowned universities.
There are no kings or queens in the story,
only a chronology of princely people,
none of whom escaped the events of
their time. The townlands and villages
and cities where our ancestors lived are
places enmeshed in the history of their
time. Napoleon's invasion of Russia, the
trenches of World War One, the Great
Depression, the destroyers of World War
Two, the social anarchy of the 1960s, the
nuclear-powered carriers that carry war
to our enemies-the story of our family
occurs in this tumultuous context.
Eight Generations Revisited leads from
people born before the American
Revolution and it concludes-but it doesn't
conclude. The story that commences in
these pages progresses from the finite
past to the illimitable future that awaits
youngsters who, with God's grace, will greet
the dawn of the twenty-second century.
