LOL!! Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time!
I have some Scots-Irish in my background. My maternal grandfather was Italian, and my maternal grandmother was Irish. Not completely sure of the ethnicity of my paternal grandparents, though I know there is some Indian there; some family members say Cherokee. They were hardscrabble Mississippi folks, though, so I'm guessing they were part Scots-Irish, as were many who lived back in the woods.
I've always had an affinity for Celtic music; maybe that 'splains it!
We are some pure Scottish, some pure Irish, and some of the Scotch-Irish (i.e. the Lowland Scots who were sent by Cromwell to colonize Northern Ireland).
I don't look that Irish - I'm one of the "black Irish" - i.e. look more like a Spaniard than a "typical" Irishwoman. My husband is actually half Irish with the other half a grab-bag of French, German, English and lord knows what. But what's really funny is that our daughter got BOTH Irish halves . . . she is a pure Irish red-headed colleen (although her hair has darkened with age, she has bright grey eyes and incredibly fair skin, sunburns on a cloudy day, and her features look like we mail-ordered her from Dublin.) She went to Spain for the summer to live with a local family, and everyone refused to believe she was American -- "No! You MUST be Irish!"
