About this product

Product Information

Richly illustrated with 37 photos and illustrations, this compelling saga, biography and unsentimental social history follows the adventures of more than five generations of families that made their mark on Atlanta, New York, Paris, Bogotá and the tiny fishing village of Killybegs in County Donegal, Ireland, where the clan originated. The narrative especially highlights one grandmother's brave work with the French Resistance in World War II and her untiring efforts to successfully help her only son escape from Nazi prisoner of war camps, including the notorious Stalage 325 punishment camp at Rawa-Ruska, in the Ukraine. The author crafts a narrative that includes the adventures ¿ and misadventures ¿ of the original Irish forebears and the great-great grandfather who successfully evaded the long arm of federal lawmen, through succeeding generations, including a remarkable French grandmother, during times of international upheaval. Gatins paints a compelling portrait of family that does not shy from the ¿fault lines¿ that vexed various ancestors. A retired newspaper reporter and editor, the author unearthed archival data -- from baptismal and death certificates to courthouse filings, from U.S., French and Nazi military records to international Red Cross POW camp inspection reports, as well as a treasure-trove of private correspondence, including telling post-Word War II love letters. He also found useful information in U.S. Reconstruction-era documents and government citizenship and immigration files. Together, the documentation and the fine writing make for a driving narrative.
