  1. Folklore - The Great Famine

    Share Share Post
    In Ireland long ago there was a great famine and a lot of people died with the want of food.
    The people used to steal the potatoes and other vegetables from the farm of there neighbours, not alone used they steal the crops but they used also kill their own children to get food to eat
    In those year people were dying in thousands, and more of them was emigrated to America and other countries.
