The international team compared entries in these medieval annals with ice core data indicating volcanic eruptions.

Of 38 volcanic events, 37 were associated with directly observed cold weather extremes recorded in the chronicles.

History of Ireland - Q's

yourgypsysoul's picture

hello all,

 

I just finished reading the latest channeling from Montague Keen, and in it he discusses the Irish and their history. I've read bits and pieces about the Irish before, and how important of a role they play, however I'm not entirely sure what that role is.

 

Does anyone have any articles/sites they could suggest where I can find out more about this. I am curious as my grandmother's maiden name is an Irish one.

 

thanks!

 

Love,

Rachel
