89/365 - Jess Majekodunmi - Ceannt Fort, Dublin.


Jess has recently discovered a whole new strand to her family. She bought a DNA test for her Mum’s birthday and now has a new uncle and a whole heap of cousins. 

It’s amazing to think back to just a few generations ago, when people often made heartbreaking decisions to give up much loved children and the need to take those secrets to the grave. 

Together they’ve been discovering so much about their own history and unique connection with Ireland, tracing their Nigerian side as far back as 1930 in Dublin.
