It is estimated that almost one in every four American people claim some kind of Irish roots. This is an amazing statistic given that the entire population of Ireland is just over five million people. During the famine times in Ireland in the mid 18th century literally over one million people starved to death while another million people fled to the four corners of the globe. America was the preferred destination of choice but the route was a treacherous and perilous one for those brave enough to take it.A whole new industry has now sprung up in Ireland with thousands of Irish Americans tracing their family roots every year. Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy being but two famous Irish American names. Genealogy has become big business in Ireland in the past decade with dozens of companies only too happy to assist eager clients trace their family origins. Family crest names and family tree charts are the most common items sought after.Imagine however being able to actually own your own little piece of Ireland, complete with title deed for less than an evening's entertainment? Couple that with an original heart rendered poem in parched paper detailing the history of this piece of land and you have an ideal gift for any family member of friend with an Irish attachment. This gift is all the more unique in that the plots of land in question are bogland, which the Irish government and local agencies are stringently trying to protect as a piece of Irish heritage. Bogland is where turf is cut and is unique to certain parts of Ireland. Turf is a fuel that is burned in fires and smells beautiful in comparison to other fuels used in fires.Imagine the joy and pride of being able to say that you "own a little piece of Ireland". You are of course welcome to visit and stand on your own plot at any stage or even welcome to meet the poets author Conor Ward, a retired teacher, historian, bard, and owner of the land in question.Dara Ward is an expert on all things Irish. He is the webmaster for his family operated business Irish Gifts Dara also operates one of Ireland's best run travel websites Ireland Travel.
