In season two of the "Finding Home" podcast series, Irish American Archives Society Executive Director Margaret Lynch interviews an array of Clevelanders with specialized knowledge and stories about the history of the Irish in Cleveland. This episode features an interview with Marilyn Madigan.


Marilyn Madigan is the National Vice President of the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians and has held numerous offices at the local and state levels. Although the Ancient Order of Hibernians was founded in New York in 1836, a Ladies Auxiliary only formed in 1894. A Clevelander, Adelia Christy, became a National officer in 1913 and subsequently served as National President. Recalling the many women who have had a hand in steering the group in Cleveland, Madigan also confides her own determination to follow in Christy's footsteps a hundred years later.
