I recently finished reading The Prendergast Letters: Correspondence from Famine-era Ireland, 1840-1850
which I found very interesting. The Prendergast family lived in Milltown Ireland, just six miles from Firies where the Deedy (Deady) and Donovan families originated. Some of the Prendergast children immigrated to Boston and the letters provide some insight into what life in Ireland must have been like for my ancestors. If you are interested in reading some first source material about this era, this book is well worth reading.
