The Burke Family Legacy: From Ireland to America (Irish Genealogy Series)

By: Sean Kelly

Discover the extraordinary eight-century journey of the Burke family, from Norman lords to American pioneers.

Their story is one of survival and transformation. Through foreign conquest, religious persecution, famine, and exile, the Burkes not only endured but turned hardship into strength. Historian Sean Kelly traces their remarkable legacy from medieval castles in Connacht to the immigrant neighborhoods of America, where descendants forged new lives while preserving their heritage.

This is not a mere record of names and dates. Kelly's vivid storytelling brings the Burkes to life-builders of stone fortresses who became defenders of Irish identity, families who lost everything during the Great Famine, and emigrants who crossed the Atlantic to rise as cardinals, congressmen, and community leaders.

Essential for Burke descendants, Irish historians, and anyone inspired by stories of resilience and renewal. Includes detailed family trees, historical maps, and expert guidance for tracing your Burke ancestry.

From the strongholds of Connacht to the streets of Boston and New York, The Burkes: Eight Centuries of Irish Heritage reveals a lineage defined by courage, faith, and endurance.

Your Irish heritage awaits discovery.
