Irish Like Me: Seasoned in New Hampshire, published in 2021, introduces Dot, Lib, Gil, and FredÕs grandparents and reveals their stories and those of close family members. Their grandparents were living in Merrimack County, New Hampshire, when Dot, Lib, Gil, and Fred were born. Their two grandmothers were Irish Catholic immigrants. One of their grandfathers was born in New Hampshire, the son of Irish Catholic immigrants. The other grandfather was born in Maine, and his roots extend to the first wave of European immigrants, primarily English Protestants, who arrived in New England during the 1600s.
