An historic photo of Fulmoth Kearney, President Obamas Irish ancestor from Moneygall, Co, Offaly, has at last been found.
Merlyn White, Obama's third cousin once removed, recently learned of her connection to the president while visiting a distant relation in Scotland. The news led her to reconsider an old family photo album she had inherited from her 107-year-old great aunt. In the album's pages she found portraits of Fulmoth and his wife Charlotte, which she shared with genealogist Megan Smolenyak, who first identified Fulmoth as Obama's Irish ancestor.
This revelation of the photo comes on the heels of the discovery of Kearney's final resting place in a Kansas cemetery and his memorialization with a headstone after 136 years.
n 2007, Smolenyak traced then-candidate Barack Obamas Irish ancestry on his mothers side, eventually finding that his third great-grandfather, Fulmoth Kearney, left Moneygall for New York in 1850. He and his sister Margaret were bound for Ohio, where their father had inherited land from a brother. Other members of the Kearney family would gradually make their journey to America, but Fulmoth was the most recent immigrant on the maternal side of Obama's family.
Smolenyak's discovery was the catalyst for the Obamas joyous visit to Ireland in May 2011, during which the president raised a pint in Moneygall and gave his historic and poignant speech in Dublin. . .

He played up the Irish angle in 2007 when he was courting foreign press and foreign donors and p!ssing on American foreign policy under President George Booosh.
The marriage wasn’t legit. Papa Obama was already married. He was a bigamist/polygamist.
Didn’t matter anyway, it was a marriage of convenience after he’d knocked her up.
Barry is a little bastard.

Before I’d believe any of this they’d have to dig both of them up and take some DNA and test against his.
They should have put a target right in the middle. So you can aim better.
Ahhhh, jug ears.
Foul mouth ???
yeah it fits...
Maybe this explains his drinking. I always figured that the reason we couldn’t get a good answer to what he was doing during Benghazi was because he was sloshed.
Like he needs an excuse to vacation on our dime...
Compared to this story, a rst's sss is worthy of a shrine with golden effigy.
why certainly, he's just a regular Irish Jig...
Is it too late to turn in my membership card and become Polish?
HISTORY OF THE KEARNEY NAME
We will, therefore, begin this brief history of the origin of the Kearney surname with Naill of the Nine Hostages. Naill is known as somewhat of an Irish myth and legend. It has been established that he was a great historical figure who ruled Ireland from 378 to 405 AD. Naill is claimed to be the 124th Monarch of Ireland. He is known for undertaking raiding parties and kidnapping settlers who were living along the coast of Wales. It has been said that on one of these raids, Naill took a young boy hostage who later escaped and returned to Ireland. This young boy was said to be the future Saint Patrick.
