It is easy to view our ancestors with nostalgia and if I reflect this somewhere on these pages, then forgive me. However, the ancestry of this family hasn't always been as sweet and pure as some archived material makes it seem. For a family to reign at all, it must have been capable of absolute ruthlessness. The Clan O'Reilly is no exception as it bitterly and bloodily fought throughout the dark ages and beyond to retain its power.

During your stay, I hope you share the power to cast aside the whispering mist of time and see the history unfold before your eyes.

For those amongst you with no patience for we who dwell on the past, the following thought is something you should contemplate...

"A people without history is like the wind on the Buffalo grass."

Lakota Sioux
