    My Home District
    My Home District is Feighcullen.
    Kilmeague is the Townland.
    Kilmeague is the Parish.
    Connell is the Barony.
    There are about fifty families in Feighcullen.
    There are about one hundred and ten people in Feighcullen. There are no names common. The most of the houses are thatched. Mrs. Kelly in Feighcullen is over seventy years of age. Her address is Mrs. Kelly,
    Feighcullen,
    Rathangan,
    Co. Kildare.
    She does not know Irish. She can not tell stories in English or in Irish.
    There were more houses long ago. There are four or five in ruins now. Some of the people went out to America and some died in it. Feighcullen is not mentioned in a song. The land is good in some places, and boggy and hilly in other places. There are no woods in Feighcullen. There are streams in Feighcullen.
