Explore the lives of St Theresa, her parents and her sisters as recounted and illustrated in the website of the Carmel of Lisieux here (note: there are English versions of the 'pilgrim visit' and the archives). The lives of the family members are here. Entering the term 'Irlande' in the search box mainly yields references to '[gu]irlande' (i.e. 'garland'!). But there is one very nice link to a map the young Theresa drew of the British Isles, no doubt for a school exercise -- it's on the reverse side of the page to a map of Africa. Note the position of Dublin! What other places does she record? See original map here.
