RE: A Pop-up WeWrite Contest: I Married A Monster
My maternal grandfather came to the US from Ireland and married my grandmother. I never got a chance to meet him though, as he died before I was born. I found a picture of the ship you and your mom came to Halifax aboard. They changed its name to "Captain Cook." It appears the photo is not in the public domain though, which is kind of strange.
Gosh and begorra it’s nice you have a drop or two of the blood from the old sod in ye. ☘️ I wonder what part of Ireland your grandfather came from. Was it during the potato famine or before?
I never met my grandfathers. They were deceased before I was born.
I don’t know why they left the pictures out of the war bride story. They had them there at first. Maybe so many stories they were trying to save space.
