Does any one know who the ancestors are of :-Michael Rogers:
the great writer, seanchai and patriot Micheal Mac Ruaidhri (( 1860-1936) from County Mayo. Micheal was the great friend of Padraig Pearse and was with him in the G.P.O. in 1916. This nearly forgotten scholar wrote six books in the Irish language, numerous poems and won eight Oireachtas gold medals for oratory and story-telling. From the foundation of Scoil Eanna ( Pearses School ) inRathfarnham, Dublin in 1908, he was the school gardener and taught practical horticulture to the pupils. He was called " TheMayo Poet " by Douglas Hyde because of the musical quality of his Irish.
Many thanks
