Half Irish and half French. Today I celebrate some of my Irish relatives,including the Kellys, Kanes, McGillicuttys, O'Donohoes, and McDonalds.

Eirinn go brach.

“I don’t keep close track of these things, but wouldn’t that would make Barack Hussein the first “Irish” president since Ronald Wilson Reagan?”

Well,maybe not. Bill Clinton’s mother was born a Cassidy.

GG-grandfather came here from County Kerry in 1851.
GG-grandmother came here from County Cavan in 1849.
Her name was O'Reilly - as in BOR. Oh no, do you think ...

Cassidy, you say. Well, I must admit I sort of ignored that jumbled Clinton gene pool, but if the Irish DNA is on his mother’s side, it’s hard to ignore.

Ha.....A play on words. I love Free Republic because just
discussed gets down to the very nub.

The really funny thing is that the O claimed an Irish born ancestor. We don’t know very much about him though
