Accompanied by the local parish priest Fr Malachy Conlon, he offered a prayer outside the ruins of the 15th century church in Kilwirra Cemetery, Cooley, Co Louth.
Many of his relations, the Finnegan family, dating to before and after the Potato Famine, are laid to rest there in the family plot.
The Biden story on his mother's side is traced to two families, the Finnegans from Louth and the Bewitts from Ballina in Co Mayo.

The ruins of their original home can still be seen today.
