  1. My Home District

    My home district.
    The name of my townland is Enagh. There are twelve families living in the townland. There are nearly forty people in it. Some of the houses are thatched and others are slated.
    There are only a few old people living in this district.
    They know English but no Irish so they can only tell English stories. Houses were more numerous locally in former times.
    A great many people emigrated to America, England, Scotland, Australia, New Zeland and Canada in late years.
    Nearly all the land is good in this district. There are several woods in it also and there are rivers and streams flowing.
