About this Item

Scarce paperback, no ISBN, xiii + 174 pages, copiously illustrated with b&w and colour photos and facsimiles of documents, NOT ex-library. Minor handling wear, book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. -- This biographical work documents several generations of the O'Grady family from the Inchicronan area of County Clare, Ireland. The narrative is defined by a tragic recurring pattern: four separate family members named Michael, across different generations, who each died in incidents involving water. The emotional and historical anchor of the text is the life and death of the popular local priest Fr Michael O'Grady, who died on 4 April 2002 when his car rolled off Liscannor Pier. The author provides a detailed genealogical record for the O'Gradys and traces the name through Irish history, noting its appearance in the 1641 Rebellion and exploring a connection to Muhammad Ali's Irish ancestry. The narrative spans various locations in Ireland - including Ennis, Dublin, Kilkee, Maynooth, and Kilkeedy - as well as the United States, specifically Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Auburn, New York.
