A Mystery Solved: The Search for my Irish Grandmother (#802)

In this episode we trace the origins - and more - of Carina's mystery Irish grandmother. I say "mystery" because Carina only ever knew her as "Granny Cronin". So, join us as we look to solve this mystery - with plenty of journeys, unexpected turns, twists and interesting characters along the way.

We've arranged the show in the following 5 parts - with music and songs of Cork City and County Cork along the way:

Part 1: Introduction: Who was my Irish grandmother, where was she born and many more questions!

Song: "I know my love" performed by Maura O'Connell.

Part 2: What I know: Where my grandmother lived, worked and is buried.
