Monday in Ireland

Sunday and Monday nights we spent at an incredible bed and breakfast - Trasnagh House - with hosts Leslie and Vicki Bryan.

Monday morning after breakfast we went to check out Greyabbey where are family hails from, and look around. We talked to a care taker there who was very helpful. We then went to Ballywalter and snooped around there and finally made contact with a Connor Dempster who put on on the right track. We later talked with a Mrs. Tom Lowry who shared a lot of information with us and is possibly a distant cousin.






She shared with us that Lowry's are Scotch Irish - meaning we are of scottish lowland descent and immigrated to Ireland during the Ulster Scot Plantation era. Our family had a farm on the Irish Sea at one point, but has since been washed out to sea via erosion.

Later in the day we visted a windmill and Scrabo Tower with dinner at Ramos Pub. After a gorgeous sunset it was the end to a very productive and rewarding day.
