My family came from County Donegal, Ireland. They first moved to Nova Scotia, then to Pennsylvania but must have wanted their peace and space so they eventually made it to Iowa (middle America) and had a huge farm. No cellphones back then, no internet. My dad knows all the detailed history but I just know it must have been hard.
That's my great-grandfather sitting there in the middle like a boss!
That is the family that made it from Ireland though.
They had a bunch of kids and my grandpa and his brothers all moved to the city, Davenport. Still in Iowa but no farms.
