There are other myths, too, associated with religion, and one of the most fascinating of recent discoveries is connected to the Irish language or Gaelic. In the past few years the Canadian- Irish historian Professor Peter Toner Sr. unearthed documents which prove that the Irish language was in fact spoken in New Brunswick well in to the twentieth century, something no one had previously thought possible. What is more surprising is the fact that this language was preserved not by Gaelic speaking Irish Catholics (the major victims of the famine) but by protestant Irish. This conflating of Irish protestants with the English language is not restricted to Irish history, perhaps the most famous example of the myth is on Cape Breton Island where a majority of Scots Presbyterians spoke and kept alive Scots Gaelic when legend and myth purported that it was primarily a catholic phenomenon.

Not only will the visitor get a glimpse of the lives of Irish immigrants in New Brunswick and their trials and suffering throughout the Famine years, but they can also access searchable databases for more in-depth research, to learn more about these people than the simple statistical fact of their birth, death or landed immigrant status. Indeed, one of the central aims of this entire project is to rescue, in the words of Irish historian Kevin Whelan, these lives from the enormous condescension of history. The databases associated with this site include those of the Saint John Almshouse which cared for many of the Great Famine immigrants, a selection from the Brenan’s Funeral Home records, Teacher’s Petitions featuring Irish immigrant applicants, letter collections, newspapers articles with Irish content, and Professor Peter Toner Sr. New Brunswick Irish Census Records from 1855 and 1861. The accessibility of these databases provides an indispensible research tool for students, teachers, genealogists, and scholars alike.
