"the Ryan family luncheon held in Ashford Castle on October 4, 1970 was a happy occasion during which she connected naturally with those whose roots she shared, following a trip to the old cemetery where her great-grandparents were buried. ... She proceeded to the cottages of several distant relatives, and visited the starkly modest sod house and farm of her great-grandparents, where her grandfather had been born and raised." ^[4]

"Some of the cousins whom she met with that day were Mrs. Catherine Naughton (Lynch’s Acres, Ballygarries), Mr. Joe Fahey (Robeen, Hollymount), Mrs. P. Cusack (Loughmask), Mrs. J. McTigue (New Street, Ballinrobe), Mr. James Cunningham (Hollymount) and Mrs. Annie Walsh who led a reception for Mrs. Nixon at Robeen Church. Her visit included a trip to the Ryan ancestral homestead in Kilvindoney and to Robeen cemetery where her ancestors are buried.
