You still have that wacko story about the Irish in West Virginia (do the markings look like Irish script - maybe if you drank enough moonshine). My Irish faculty advisor would be proud.

by 400 Irish and British were fully differing languages, and additionally Christians from both nations used different scripts (Latin and Ogham) for their memorials.

Migration between the islands has been going on since forever. So has intermarriage between the English and the Irish. Plenty of English folks with names like Monaghan and O’Connor and Irish people with names like Smith and Johnson.
