The ancestry of RFK Jr's famous Kennedy family can be traced back just a few generations to relatively obscure origins in Ireland.  In this section we'll explore his ancestor's departure from their Irish homeland and the family's struggle through poverty and deadly disease to redefine itself in the New World.

  From these foundations we'll witness the gradual ascent of Kennedy influence in the worlds of business, finance and politics up through the rise of JFK and RFK and the successes and tragedies of the 'Camelot' era.

  And we'll check up on the modern state of the Kennedy clan and especially RFK Jr's children and marriages as well as his 10 diverse siblings.
