So this means the Irish can get reparations from South America? How about Hugo? He has plenty of cash?

My ancestor left Ireland in 1850, his wife and daughter in 1855. Brits still pulled lots of other grains out of Ireland during the Famine. There was food available, it just wasn't for the Irish.

All in all, I'm glad that my ancestor emigrated. Tremendous opportunities for his descendants.
