[Tired of Taxes]

Now I’m completely lost. Are you saying everyone is Irish? ;-)

Just kidding. On the question of ancestry, the furthest I take it back is to the country from where the person’s ancesters emigrated to the U.S. That’s why I consider Galli an Italian name.

You’ve definitely traced it back much further than I did. :-)

BTW, there are two competing stories regarding the invasion of Ireland by the Milesians. One story comes from Galicia (in Spain) and the other comes from what appears to be the reading rooms at Oxford.

The Galician version is written in ancient Greek. The Oxford version is written in English ~ rather modern too.

Most everything you heard about the "illiterate Celts" back in pre-Roman times appears to have been BS. They spoke Celtic languages, but their Greek slaves wrote in Greek.
