*************************************************************
I am of Irish decent from both maternal( 1800’s) and paternal ( early 1920’s)
They all worked their butts off!! Railroads, bridges, hospitals....Have you ever heard of “ Irish need not apply”? That was for safe , cushy jobs...Assimilated to the
point of my paternal Granny hated to celebrate St Patrick’s Day . “ We are in America now” she’d say in her adorable brogue...
Wow. Thank for the info. I’m of Italian roots.
It was tough but the Irish arriving during the war REALLY got screwed.
