They claim it feels like Ireland geographically or the cotswalds inhabited by southerners and Michiganders here
I tell them the dna chain from southerners to Irish and Scot’s Irish is pretty direct
“the dna chain from southerners to Irish and Scot’s Irish is pretty direct”
That’s so true. I’m not “from here”, but I find TN history fascinating.
A few years ago, I watched a show with a TN historian, I think focused on eastern TN. It doesn’t make sense to me, but I could swear that he said that TN used to have the most Jewish immigrants than anywhere else in America at that time in history. A couple hundred years ago, maybe. I would think New York.
