In 1963, shortly before his assassination President John F. Kennedy visited his ancestral home in Ireland now three towns in Ireland, with connections to President-elect Joe Biden are about to be put on the map.
President-elect Joe Biden is fiercely proud of his Irish roots and as this Irish Catholic from Scranton, PA, heads for the White House, three towns in Ireland linked to his ancestors are set to become tourist destinations.
Just like Biden s ancestors, president John F. Kennedy s ancestors fled Ireland during the Great Famine. JFK, proud of his ancestry, visited his ancestral home of New Ross, in County Wexford, in 1963, just months before his assassination. Following his death, the town developed as a tourist attraction for those who wished to follow in the footsteps and pay homage to John F. Kennedy s Irish roots.
