Description
What did immigrants from the six Celtic Homelands in Europe contribute to America? Half of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, over half of US Presidents, eight of 12 astronauts who walked on the moon, and more. Meanwhile, millions of others labored in coal mines and steel mills, with others building railroads and the Erie Canal. Many came to escape famine and to seek freedom of religion. Were your people among them?
Maya Sutton graduated from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and received her PhD from UNM. She taught courses in Celtic history and mythology for many years. She has conducted years of research into European DNA and the six Celtic Homelands: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, and the Isle of Man. She holds dual citizenship with the US and Republic of Ireland. Sutton’s presentations are grounded in personal experiences during extensive travels in Europe.
