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.
