björk : mutual core

My family is from County Cork and I am trying to confirm a few things.  When I visited the New Iceland Heritage Museum in 2016 I was told that the original settlers had come to Iceland with their Irish wives.  I met a delightful Irishman while I was there.  Had I been able to move there as planned in November, 2016 I am certain we would have made great friends.  I was also asked to help set-up and Gimli Flying Club and I did that, but virtually ~ I've just started Virtual Flying Club of the North© ® TM, An Intelligent Grandfather's Guide© ® TM björk : mutual core https://youtu.be/-WnzRqCK6Fs [5:14 minutes] By Iceland native björk 605K subscribers 764,843 views • Sep 26, 2019 • directed by andrew thomas huang Wow.

The Great Irish Famine - documentary (1996)

The Great Irish Famine - documentary (1996) https://youtu.be/0DK-GoVkRjw [1:25:33 minutes] By: Vintage Broadcasting System 7.42K subscribers 1,028,831 views • Feb 21, 2020 • What is commonly known as Ireland's Great Famine of 1845-1849 was a catastrophic tragedy that has embedded itself in the island's consciousness. The crop collapse and the political decisions around it decimated the island's population changing the course of Irish history. World history was also affected by a resultant wave of mass migration that spread Irish culture abroad, particularly to the United States. This documentary aired on the A&E cable channel in 1996. A small portion is missing at the 1:12:58 point (it is marked by a program ID) but the documentary and its information are basically intact and it is well worth watching.
