Aj,

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment!

You are correct, some have the death toll going as high as a million or more. However, I did some research and I found figures ranging from 100,000 to 1,000,000. As I’m sure you are aware, the exact death toll is disputed because there was also an increase in emigration from Ireland at that time. To be safe, I included the lowest figure and stated that this was the minimum number of deaths caused by the Famine. I think that this number still illustrates how awful a period of history that time was.

Try well over a million. Didn’t realise that we would just rewrite history to save proper research.
