On the other hand, Barry O’Bama’s as Irish as Paddy’s pig.

I had a friend in high school with and Irish-sounding last name who got a tattoo with the Notre Dame mascot standing in front of a shamrock. His dad saw it and said “We’re not Irish you idiot”.

There's only two kinds of people in the world, those who are Irish and those who wish they were.

My mother's side is Irish but my last name is a place name in Ireland, Scotland and in England so my father's side, who were here long before the revolution, really have no clear idea what ethnicity they are.
More importantly, I never met a member of my father's side of the family who cared and I don't either. I am much more interested in my descendants than my ancestors.

Cheer up Mr. Hurt.
You’re a helluvan actor.
Great in “I, Claudius” and lots of other roles.
Even good in “Hellboy”.

My husband had a friend growing up whose last name was Irish. He found out years later that the friend’s father had changed his name long ago. The real name was Albanian, but he had thought an Irish name would be more acceptable.

Wow, what a link. My mom was born in County Cork. Can I get my genes mapped, or is this something cost-prohibitive?
I have no contact/knowledge of grandparents, etc., except burial locations. So finding out generally where my family came from (even dating back centuries) is of interest to me.
