Are You of Irish or Italian Descent? Leave Replies at Message Board Welcome to the Irish Immigration into Maine podcast. Today, we're going to be talking about the history of Irish immigration to Maine, the challenges that Irish immigrants faced, and the contributions they made to the state. History The first Irish immigrants arrived in Maine in the early 1700s, but the largest wave of Irish immigration occurred in the mid-19th century. This was due to a number of factors, including the Great Potato Famine, which devastated Ireland in the 1840s. Many Irish immigrants came to Maine in search of a better life, fleeing poverty and hunger. Irish immigrants often faced discrimination and hardship in Maine. They were often seen as outsiders and were paid less than native-born Americans for the same work. Irish immigrants were also targets of anti-Catholic sentiment. In 1854, a mob burned down a Catholic church in Bath, Maine. Irish immigrants faced a number of challenges in Maine, including: Discrimination: Irish immigrants often faced discrimination from native-born Americans. They were often seen as outsiders and were paid less than native-born Americans for the same work. Anti-Catholic sentiment: Maine was a predominantly Protestant state in the 19th century, and there was a lot of anti-Catholic sentiment. This led to discrimination against Irish immigrants, who were predominantly Catholic. Poverty: Many Irish immigrants arrived in Maine very poor. They had to work long hours in difficult conditions to make a living. Language barrier: Many Irish immigrants did not speak English. This made it difficult for them to find jobs and communicate with others. Today, the Irish diaspora is an important part of Maine's culture. Italian immigration to Maine began in the early 1800s, but the largest wave of Italian immigrants arrived in the late 1800s and early 1900s. These immigrants came to Maine seeking a better life, fleeing poverty and economic hardship in Italy. Many Italian immigrants settled in Maine's cities and towns, such as Portland, Lewiston, Auburn, and Rumford. They worked in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, construction, and the fishing industry. Italian immigrants faced a number of challenges in Maine, including discrimination, language barriers, and poverty. However, they also made significant contributions to the state. They established businesses, built churches, and founded community organizations. They also brought their culture and traditions to Maine, which can still be seen in the state's food, music, and festivals. Here are some specific examples of the contributions that Italian immigrants made to Maine: Italian immigrants helped to build the state's infrastructure, working on projects such as the railroads and the canals. Italian immigrants established a number of successful businesses in Maine, including grocery stores, bakeries, and restaurants. Italian immigrants founded a number of community organizations, such as the Italian Heritage Center of Maine and the Italian American club of Portland. Italian immigrants brought their culture and traditions to Maine, which can still be seen in the state's food, music, and festivals. Italian immigrants have played an important role in Maine's history and culture. They have overcome many challenges to build a better life for themselves and their families. The legacy of Italian immigrants can be seen in Maine's cities and towns, its businesses and organizations, and its food and culture. Today, the Italian diaspora is an important part of Maine's community. There are many Italian-American organizations that are active in the state, and Italian traditions are celebrated throughout the year. It is important to remember the history of Italian immigration to Maine so that we can learn from the past and work to create a more inclusive and welcoming state for all people --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bhsales/message

New Orleans and the Gulf South are not known for their great public transit. But some New Orleanians remember a time when the buses in the city were much faster and more reliable. The Gulf States Newsroom's Stephan Bisaha and Carly Berlin report on the region's hopes for a better bus future while it deals with today's transit problems. In December of last year, we carried a piece detailing the journey of one violin. For centuries, luthiers – caretakers of acoustic instruments – have worked to keep these instruments in top form. Today we encore a presentation of One Violin's Story, featuring luthier John Keller and violinist Kevin Mah. Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, so we decided to take this time to look back on the history of the Irish community throughout the state. Dr. Laura Kelley, historian and author of The Irish in New Orleans, tells us more about Irish immigration history in Louisiana. But before we go, we'll hear from commentator Ronnie Virgets, who was a popular voice on our airwaves before his death in 2021. His colorful takes on life in Louisiana celebrate many of the quirks that come with living here. This particular piece recalls his early effort at being a salesman. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karl Lengel. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber and our digital editor is Katelyn Umholtz. Our engineers are Garrett Pittman, Aubry Procell, and Thomas Walsh.  You can listen to Louisiana Considered Monday through Friday at 12:00 and 7:30 pm.

As many as two million Irish people relocated to North America during the Great Hunger in the mid-19th Century. Even after the famine had ended, Irish families continued to send their teenaged and 20-something children to the United States to earn money to mail back to Ireland. In many immigrant groups, it was single men who immigrated to the US in search of work, but single Irish women, especially young women, came to the US in huge numbers. Between 1851 and 1910 the ratio of men to women arriving in New York from Ireland was roughly equal. Irish women often took jobs in domestic service, drawn by the provided housing, food, and clothing, which allowed them to send the bulk of their earnings back home to Ireland.   Joining me to discuss Irish immigrant women in the late 19th Century is Irish poet Vona Groarke, author of Hereafter: The Telling Life of Ellen O'Hara.

So much fun this week, who knew?! On a much lighter note, Char and Jack sifted through a maternal line we weren't quite sure was correct. With the help from a new found cousin, we found the Murphy's from Valentia Island, County Kerry. Looking into the island we discovered just what a very compelling and charismatic place it was and still is.  Following our Lynch line back to Valentia we found the Murphy family very intertwined. 

This week we read, with some dismay, a factually inaccurate and legally dubious article about the plight of refugees in Ireland and the State's response. One of the people who called it out was Irish Immigration and Human Rights lawyer, Wendy Lyon, and she kindly joined us to talk all about it. We discussed Ireland's obligations under international and EU law, the "war-torn countries" red herring and the insanity of charging rent to people living in our inhumane Direct Provision system.

Now that we've had some good laughs from Dublin Duology Part I, let's pull the brakes, backtrack to October 31st 2020 and figure out what could've potentially been happening. Irish Immigration has been denying a lot of foreigners entry with the United States being at Number 7 of their most denied. I wonder why this could be the case? **Disclaimer: This is a personal experience of mine and I simply wanted to discuss what had happened, it is still unclear to me about why it HAD to happen that way but currently I am back home in Trinidad&Tobago** --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shanade-beharry/message

This episode kicks off the first of a three part series where we will be examine the 2017 mini-series Alias Grace. This CBC production is a fictionalized retelling of the events surrounding a murder trial in mid-19th century Canada. Over the next few episodes Sloan and Viktoria will unpack the depiction of pre-confederation urban life in Ontario. The story told in Alias Grace is only inspired by the historical events surrounding the murder trial and conviction of Grace Marks. As such, rather than analyzing the events depicted, these episodes will instead focus on how well this min-series depicts the historical realities of life and society in the era. In this first installment of looking at Alias Grace, Viktoria discusses depictions of urban and rural domesticity, and Sloan unpacks experiences of immigration. Alias Grace is based off the 1996 book by Margaret Atwood by the same title. If you'd like to watch the series yourself as we continue to discuss it over the next few episodes it is available on Netflix to Canadian service users at the time of this instalment being published.

O'Hanlon's particular beat has long been the immigration issue and his 1998 book, The New Irish Americans, is considered a definitive account of the battle for immigration reform waged by the Irish Immigration Reform Movement and other Irish-American organizations in the late 1980s and early '90s. His new book, Unintended Consequences: The Story of Irish Immigration to the US and How America's Door was Closed to the Irish, will be published by Merrion Press in April 2021.In this episode, Scott and Liam speak with Ray about Irish American politics since the  1990s and look at how the political dynamics of "Irish America" have changed over the years.

iIrish: Songs, Stories & Shenanigans, Podcast22: w/ Irish Immigration Atty Fiona McEntee When you want to know, where to go, what to do, to be seen, to make a difference, you come here, to iIrish: the Truth & the Pulse of what matters Hello Everyone! Welcome back to iIrish; Songs, Stories & Shenanigans. We have a great show for you today, including special guest Irish Immigration attorney Fiona McEntee, now based in Chicago. Just for a minute, we’re going to move From the Present to acknowledge the Past, and then roll forward: So, Let’s take a look at On This Day in Irish History: 2 February 1882 - James Joyce, poet, novelist and playwright, was born in Dublin. 3 February 1919 - Harry Boland and Michael Collins rescued Eamon de Valera from Lincoln jail, after smuggling keys that were hidden in cakes into the prison. 5 February 1921 - Katherine O’Shea (76), wife of Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-91) died 9 February 1854 - Edward Carson, lawyer and Unionist leader, was born in Dublin. Moving to the present: What’s the News, What’s the News? What’s the news today? Our February issue, tho COVID reduced, is still full of info, columns, entertainment and things to do. You will find so much - food recipes, including Cooking Up a Hooley In the Kitchen: Mini-Chedder & Bacon pasties. Katie’s column is a comfort food inspiration, and one of those, “I gotta try this” recipes – the whole idea is just what a covid heart needs. Plus, there is humor, opinion, profiles and history, book and music reviews, Irish Dance news, our monthly Speak Irish Lesson and monthly Irish Crossword Puzzle. February’s puzzle subject is Towns in Clare, Limerick and Kerry. The crosswords are a great way to learn or refresh your Irish knowledge, history and folklore, and all past issues, with the crossword inside, are available on OhioIANews.com. Conor Makem wrote a great column, titled, Newgrange: Ireland’s Neolithic Gem, this month, giving the history and highlights of the structure, built even before the pyramids. His photo of Newgrange is our February front cover. And a few more pics are inside and on the website. It starts with this: My father never forced anything down our throats, but if there was one thing that came close, it was the importance of an ancient mound of stone and earth in the Boyne Valley, known as Newgrange. He used to bring the family to experience it starting in the 1980s. Back then, we could just drive up to the base of the hill, walk past the unmanned booth where someone should have been selling tickets and explore. There was often no one else there, though occasionally we’d run across someone the old man inevitably knew. Many Ohio Irish American News readers will already know about Newgrange and will have their own stories about it, but I would be remiss in my son duties if I didn’t at least dedicate one column to it. What the heck is it? Newgrange was built by stone-age farmers 5,200 years ago, making it older than the Great Pyramids of Giza and Stonehenge. In fact, there wasn’t much that boiled my father’s bottom more than the international press swooning over the 100 stones in Wiltshire while simultaneously ignoring the gem of the Boyne Valley. But, I digress. Located in Meath, just west of Drogheda in County Louth, the circular mound … When we are all done here, hop over to the website to read The Rest of the Story, or pic up the February free issue at any of our 367 distribution locations. OhioIANews Columnist Bob Carney writes about St. Brigid, and there is more than one, in his Cleveland Comhra (conversation) Column this month. Brigid is considered a patron saint of Ireland just as St. Patrick is. February is recognized as the beginning of spring in Ireland, a time of growth and renewal. The Festival of Imbolg, on the first of February, celebrated the arrival of spring as the earth awakened after the dark winter months. Goddesses were important (Dee eh dees) deities in the ancient religions of the celts, as they were thought to play a daily role in the lives of the people. Brigid was the goddess most associated with (imm molg) Imbolg. Her name means, “the exalted one”. She was the patron of poetry, craft and healing and was often called upon by women in childbirth for protection and safe delivery of their child. Brigid was the daughter of the Dagda, chief god of the (tuath de dannan) Tuatha Dé Danann, and the Morrighan. With her flame red hair, she was also the goddess of fire and hearth, and a patron of warfare. She appears in many stories in Irish mytholog. In one, she is the wife of Bres, the ruler of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Their son, Ruadan, is killed in the second battle of Magh Tuireadh after wounding the god Giobhniu. Brigid went to the battlefield to mourn his death. Caoine Keening This is said to be the first caoine (keening) in Ireland. The practice of hiring women to caoine at a graveside continued up until recent times. Brigid’s caoine was so sorrowful that it caused all of the combatants to lay down their arms at the sound of it. As a result, the warriors of Leinster would seek her protection in battle. In other stories, she is wed to a different king, and her three sons slay Cian, the father of Lugh the Long-Arm. She is still known as the “Goddess of the Well” in pagan customs, a link to the fertility and life giving waters of Mother Earth. There has been a resurgence of pagan and druadic beliefs and practices in recent times. In Lough Gur, Co. Limerick, her feast day is celebrated with “green man” dancing around the fields, symbolizing the fertilizing of the earth. In the evening, her followers gather around a communal fire and listen to stories of the goddess. Of all the Celtic deities, she is the most universal and can be found in the mythologies of Northern Britain, Scotland, Western Europe, and Ireland. Patrick’s success as a missionary was partly a result of his ability to incorporate the familiar into his message of the Christian beliefs. The story of the shamrock to explain the Trinity is one example. He took traditions of the druids in Gaelic culture and tried to explain them, according to the teachings of Christianity. Later missionaries in other parts of the world would try to erradicate old beliefs and impose their Christian ideals by any means necessary. The chieftain of Leinster, a man named Dubhtach, and his people were ardent worshipers of the goddess Brigid, and refused to recognize any teachings that cast doubt on her position as the mother goddess. Yet, this is where the origins of Brigid the saint are found. Brigid of Kildara (Kiladare) … When we are all done here, hop over to the website to read The Rest of the Story, or pic up the free issue at any of our 367 distribution locations in and around Ohio.

This was an amazing Clarity Session with Emily!  She explained some things to me and went over her intuitive guide artwork, reading, clarity sessions, channeling the meta-physical, past lives among other things.   Emily got me in touch with two of my guardian angels and we discussed Dane's wife that passed away and if I was correct about finding the dimes.   I have clairsentient and healing abilities and I'd love to tap into them more!  I also learned that I was a man in a past life during the Irish Immigration and I have several limiting beliefs that Emily helped me to clear.   I learned about my water guide (which is very cool!), to ask why and release emotions and more specifically how to manifest things more efficiently.  I LOVED doing this session with Emily. It was so surprising, enlightening, and absolutely beautiful.   Our first episode: https://anchor.fm/the-naked-podcaster/episodes/Psychic-Abilities-Blocked-to-Helping-Others-Access-Psychic-Abilities-with-Emily-Davis-egbnfa FIND HER HERE: https://www.facebook.com/groups/masteryourmagic/     https://www.damselnomore.com/   https://www.instagram.com/likerofwords/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-naked-podcaster/message Support this podcast

Jordan is joined in the studio byJordan Dreyer and Corey Stroffolino, AKA Vox and The Axeman, from the American Post-Hardcore band La Dispute. Aside from the discussing their upcoming European and American tour, the boys talk about their upcoming record, not to mention the ten year anniversary reissue of their debut album, Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair, that can be pre-ordered now. Other Jordan discusses being humbled by an Irish Immigration officer the day before, as well revealing his prediction for the upcoming 6th(?) wave of Ska, his favourite ska band, and the revelation that the band is now called Ska Dispute. Corey admits to turning to youtubers to help him learn one of the bands songs, whilst referencing the made-for-tv movie The Langoliers more than any other human in history. @ladisputeband @coreystroff @JordanOrdinary

In this episode we build a small part of the story of Irish immigration to the US and Canada through letters to and from Ireland and through women's stories of their lives as they told them to family and friends. It's a story of sadness, love, yearning for home, death, humor, and, ultimately for some, success. We include: Mary McLean Walsh's arrival in Quebec from Ireland in 1832 at the age of 16. She and her family land in the middle of an epidemic. The consequences are harrowing. Margaret McCarty's letter home from New York City to her family in Ireland in 1850 when Margaret was 23. She writes about immigrants clustering in the big cities on the east coast and depressing wages. She recommends that her parents come if they can and gives guidance on what to bring on the journey, including cash to fund leaving the east coast and going into the interior of the country. Letters between Elizabeth and James Christey in 1846. He was in Minnesota building their homestead while she was in New York waiting with their children. She was 28 at the time. A letter from Michael and Mary Rush in Ireland to Mary's parents in Quebec dated September 6, 1846. Michael and Mary are begging Mary's parents to send money to get them out of Ireland. They are starving. A passionate letter from Hannah Curtis in Ireland to her brother John in Philadelphia begging and demanding that he keep his promise to get her and her family out of Ireland. The letter is dated April 21, 1847. Her anger is palpable. A sad, desperate letter from Mrs. Nolan in Ireland to her son Pat in Providence, RI. The letter is dated October 8, 1850. Mrs. Nolan and her younger son are starving. They pawned the furniture and moved out of their home with the expectation that money was coming to fund their flight to America. It has not arrived. A short, funny note from Celia Grimes in Flushing, NY to her family back in Ireland. The letter is dated June 12, 1869. A sad letter from Cathy Greene in Brooklyn to her mother in Ireland. She misses home and is filled with fear about her family. The letter is dated August 1, 1884. The story of Ann, an Irish cook. It recounts her 50+ years in the US, including the trip from Ireland, her years of working as a domestic servant and her family's success in the US. Ann's story was published in 1906 in an anthology titled, The Life Stories of Undistinguished Americans as Told by Themselves. The publisher was Hamilton Holt, the editor of the liberal New York newspaper, The Independent. Click here (https://www.patreon.com/hervoiceechoes)if you'd like to support our podcast.

Viveka Melki   Viveka and I talked about her new film After Circus and about memory and recollection, about what defines us as we approach the dubious notion of retirement and how she loves performing and the circus. Watch the Trailer here. Synopsis AFTER CIRCUS is an utterly charming look at circus folk and their world. I’d qualify that by saying it’s actually about retired & semi-retired circus performers, but it quickly becomes clear, watching the film that circus people never really retire. The circus is in their blood. The film details the sense of community circus folk have with each other and their world. Many in this community have been circus people for many generations, passed down from parent to child. The film is about those family histories. It also touches on the fact that most circus people aren’t getting rich doing what they do – they do it for the love of performing and the love of community. And the film deals with the inexorable march of time, when performer’s bodies fail even as the passion for performing still lives on. It’s a film about passing eras – of the individual people, of the institution, of collective memory….and the passion that endures.    Biography Viveka Melki was herself a performer – a former professional swing dancer and instructor who performed with Michael Bublé, Colin James  and others. She understands the psyche of performing artists.  She was born in The Gambia, West Africa and is of Brazilian/Lebanese descent,  and educated in the UK before immigrating to Canada. Here, she furthered her education, getting a BA at Simon Fraser University in BC in Communications, specializing in Women’s Studies, but ended up co-founding Tortuga Films with Adam Pajot Gendron in Rimouski, Quebec in 2006. She later sold her interest in the company to Adam in order to devote herself full-time to being a director and screenwriter. Multilingual and multicultural, she calls herself « consciously Canadian » and knows that it is these elements that allowed her to understand the immigrant world of Circus. Viveka’s filmography as a Producer ranges from the documentary, Campesinos... we will inherit the earth (2008, Radio Canada and TFO) to Hippocrate (2012, Radio Canada, Explora).  In 2014, she directed the two-part series War Correspondence (WWI and D-Day). She is currently developing We Interrupt This Program, a feature documentary on radio and social change around the world, for CBC’s Documentary channel, as well as working on her new documentary Carricks: la mer n'a pas volu de nous (2017, Radio Canada & RDI), about Irish Immigration in 1847 and the link to Francophone culture. She is the Curator of the upcoming traveling multi-media exhibition War Flowers (2017, Canadian War Museum, Chateau Ramezay, the new Visitor Centre in Vimy, France).   To learn more about her work visit her site here. ---------- For more information about my podcasting, writing and public speaking please visit my site here.   With thanks to producer Josh Snethlage and Mixed Media Sound.       See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
