Born in New York? The Origins of Éamon de Valera

Éamon de Valera.was one of the most important figures in 20th century Irish history; a leader of the 1916 Rising, later Taoiseach and President of Ireland.

His story begins here in New York, and the records of his birth and baptism raise questions that historians are still debating today.

Our guest speaker is Sean Murray who has spent years investigating the original documents, and what he found makes for a fascinating evening of history, identity, and archival detective work.

Gogarty gives us several excuses to celebrate Bloomsday as a Society. He was a surgeon, he spent his last years in New York City, where he became a member of the New York Celtic Medical Society, and he was trained as an ENT surgeon by Sir Robert Woods.

 

On June 16, current NYCMS member Robbie Woods will give a talk to members about his famous ancestor Sir Robert Woods, a groundbreaking early 20th century Laryngology/Otology surgeon in Ireland, and for the day that’s in it will describe his interactions with Gogarty.
