I guess they just liked to marry other people from Ireland.
I have no interest in obtaining an Irish passport of citizenship. That country is more messed up than we are but we are catching up.
I was waiting for the punch line that his DNA showed 100% Congolese
I mean, its 2024 Ireland, after all.
Why was he “shocked” by the news? Does he dislike corned beef and cabbage? Does he hate potatoes? Does he hate Guinness beer?
I wsnt to lnow why his parents dumped him at an orphanage.
The great Arizonan potato famine of 1963?
The authorities confirmed the Irish father’s identity, making this man eligible for citizenship by descent. The dna led to the father’s identity.
So now the FBI, DNC, Communist Chinese government and every Big Pharma company all have his DNA too.
My brother took that test. He really didn’t find out anything that we already didn’t know. We’re mutts.
I was hoping for “shocking” leprechan DNA.
“... visited Belvedere College, where his paternal grandfather once taught...”
Belvedere College = alma mater of James Joyce.
To me, the most interesting factoid here is that this gentleman’s father was also an academic... a reminder of the truth (uncomfortable to some) that much of career aptitude is baked in at birth.
I know from what geneological research we have already done in our family that such a feat would not work in my case; too much a variety of ancestors from different countries.
Like my dad always answered (because he did not know) when we’d ask “Where are we from”, he’d say “you’re a mutt”, your an American. He was in the military and the WWII U.S. military was a real “melting pot” and I think my dad’s attitude reflected that.
Good for him. My family fled Ireland almost a thousand years ago and we changed our name from Stuart to Paterson and settled in the Scottish lowlands.
