Also FWIW my great-great-granddad on my mother’s side landed in Philadelphia from Ireland in 1860, immediately joined the army (union of course), which seems to be something common among the Irish immigrants. His daughter and daughter’s daughter (b.1903) were candypackers, her daughter married the Okie and had me.
My Mom’s family were Okies by way of Alabama and then my grandparents moved back to Alabama after the Great Depression and the Dustbowl.
