Request for Famine Graves to be identified

Subject: Identifying unmarked Irish famine graves for tourist visitors

Jim Miley
The Gathering 2013

Dear Mr. Miley,

Last year our Committee sent a letter to your people requesting that all famine graves be identified, cleaned and maintained so that our visitors would see a presentable area when they went to their ancestor’s burial sites. We hope this process continues because most tourists will want to go where their family members are buried.

Please advise us of who will be in charge when the Gathering is over.

Sincerely yours,

Bill Fahey

American Comm. for the Commemoration of Victims of the Irish Hunger
