The Grosvenor Room Presents: Exile McBride, Buffalo's Forgotten Irish Freedom Fighter
When Mike McBride started digging into his family history, he never fathomed that he was related to a once famous Irish rebel, exiled from the Emerald Isle after taking part in a foiled plot against the British. Though largely lost to time, using DNA technology and hours of pouring though old newspapers, Mike discovered that his ancestor spent the next 40 years as a resident of Buffalo, New York, working as a photographer and a tireless proponent of Irish independence, meeting prominent citizens and dignitaries throughout the U.S. and Britain -- even staying with the British Prime Minister William Gladstone!
Join us in the Central Library's Ring of Knowledge to learn more about this fascinating story and the power of genealogy to rediscover YOUR family's past in this free presentation!
