Fleeing the Famine: The Forgotten Irish of Boston | Jim McKenna. "The Lament for the Forgotten Irish of Catholic Mount Auburn Cemetery"
Jim McKenna free album: "From Great Hunger To Boston Harbor" jimmckenna-music.bandcamp.com/album/from-great-hunger-to-...
______________________________
This Lament was composed and performed by Jim McKenna (2021) for the forgotten Irish at Catholic Mount Auburn Cemetery located in Watertown, Massachusetts. Catholic Mount Auburn Cemetery is a cemetery for mostly Irish immigrants who came to Boston during the Great Hunger (An Gorta Mór). With the persistence and research by Bill McEvoy, these Irish will not be forgotten. Bill McEvoy and Jim McKenna both have many relatives buried at Catholic Mount Auburn.

On April 29, 2021 Cambridge Public Library hosted a lecture entitled "The Forgotten Irish of Mount Auburn Catholic Cemetery" in which Bill McEvoy discussed his recently published book entitled "Catholic Mount Auburn Cemetery East Watertown, MA by William A. McEvoy, Jr" and is available free online:
