Re: Are you \'American\' or \'Irish\'?
[ QUOTE ]
BOth my grandfathers came to the US from Ireland. One of my grandmothers French, the other British. Even though coming from Ireland, my grandfather stated that we were not really Irish because my ancestors liked to whore it up with " any boat that ever landed on the Northern Shore". I consider myself an American and a North Atlantic mutt. [/ QUOTE ] You've told this one before, haven't you? Awesome story that bears repeating many, many times though [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Great grandparents: 1 was Welsh 1 was Romany Gypsy 1 was Irish 1 was Jewish 4 were English [/ QUOTE ] You only had 5 great grandparents? or just 5 that you know of? Mine are: 1-4: Dutch 5-6: French 7: Native American 8: English...I think. I still call myself Canadian though, but if I relate to part of my ancestors it's my Dutch part.
