The Seanchaí

My Uncle Donald Crooks transitioned just recently. Uncle Don was a storyteller, and keeper of the oral history, in the true Irish Seanachaí tradition.

I have collected those stories of his that I have been able to find in computer format.  I shall be working on this for the next few days.

It is my hope that family and friends will smile as they recall him telling these stories, and descendants from this small area of Guysborough County will, in future, use it as a resource to research their roots.

Go well, Seanchaí.  You are one with your stories.
