There is Dan O'Hara who sells matches. David Maloney\, of Reilly and Maloney fame\, has a one man play or operetta or whatever about it and will be doing it again at Seattle Folklife in a few weeks.

All I know of my famine relatives is that my greatgrandmother came over at the age of 7 and was the only one who survived. She never heard from any family again. Well\, I don't know that none survived\, but it is unlikely. We always thought the Garvey faction were here before the famine for some reason..history is unclear because my father's father died when he was 7 of the Spanish flu..GGM was a servant to the Taft family (how she managed at the age of 7 no one knows..but one wanted to marry her and she married a railroad man instead)...but my brother discovered that four Garvey brothers came from Dingle during the famine...they did not want to talk and we did not frankly want to listen...it was all too horrifying...but when I went back to Ireland maybe 30 years ago now I met an old\, old woman in black on a country road and she said did your family leave during the famine and I said yes..and she said welcome home.. mg
