Immigration is a critical part of the American story, but for many of us, we are separated from our immigrant heritage by many generations. In this episode, we begin a series called "Yesterday's Immigration," where we look at historical immigration to the United States, in an effort to reconnect us with our immigrant ancestors. We are starting with the Irish. Villanova University's Father Joseph Ryan joins David to discuss the historical Irish migrations to North America, and the impact that the Irish community continues to have on the United States.

PS Apologies for the delay on the episode - our next episode will be up two weeks from today on November 22.  We'll be back to our regular schedule in December.
