Who's Irish?

[daisybean]

I'm 1/4 Irish (1/4 English, 1/4 Polish and 1/4 Russian)

 

[Mrs. Vedder]

I not Irish and damn proud of it! I'm just proud to be what I am!

 

[bammo2]

I voted for 'not Irish', although there is some debate. My mum thinks that my great-grandpa on her side was Irish, but my uncle says he was welsh. They both agree that he had bright red hair and sat spitting into a spitoon all day

I have no idea where my father's side originates from. Could be Lapland for all I know......

 

[mad1]

Im not Irish.

Im not British either..well, Im supposed to be British, but dont feel it.


So thats why I class myself as Norn Irish!

My roomie's part Irish? Does that count?

 

[Angel]

I am not Irish and proud of it!
Not because being Irish wouldn't be cool, but because I am proud to be Ukrainian and Danish.

that's B.y.r.n.e.

I don't know much about my Irish ancestors, I wish i did. Why would a young woman hop on a boat and go to Hobart back then? I actually have the name of the church where the English gggparents were married. I'd like to see that too. They originated from Belgium it has been suggested. I've wanted to visit Ireland forever, before U2 started a band, a land of legend.
I have fair skin in the Australian climate (ouch) , I'd say thanks to my irish genes.
St Patrick's Day again so soon? I'm working at the school that day...I'll wear green. I have a lucky hat now and part of the luck is in the shamrock lapel pic it has in it. I'm going to a celtic wedding soon too, the marriage of two very fine people ( they both lost their partners to cancer in the past 2 years). He is our top local celtic musician, he plays fiddle and banjo and whistle and squeeze box and teaches the dances, a truly good man through and through. And the bride's deceased partner was in a bush band with him for years, playing bass. I'm so glad they have found love again together.
Oh you got me telling stories....it's the irish in me.
But I'd kind of forgotten how close all these events are and how I'd better get organised.
Lattin-Australian, I like that term.

 

[Bono's shades]

My maternal grandmother is of Irish descent, so that makes me 1/4 Irish.

 

[notiti]

I'm three different flavours of Irish in that my Grandma is straight off the boat.
Represent Kilkenny!

 

[tiny dancer]

I got a tiny bit of Irish in me, plus Welsh, English, Dutch German, and Italian.

 

[dizzy]

Only my name is.

 

[verte76]

I'm of Irish heritage, born and living in the U.S.

 

[Schmeg]

My maternal grandmother's father grew up in Ireland...I think on my dad's side all sets of great-grandparents came from Ireland. The only non-Irish in me is my grandfather who grew up on Prince Edward Island with Anne of Green Gables!

 

[gvox]

I'm the best mix possible: 1/2 Irish and 1/2 French..

 

[cass]

If any irish/aussie/Tv watchers wander in here between now and tonight
what looks to be a very picturesque documentary series starts tonight on ABC. "Ancient Ireland" It looks to be well-researched with good photography. I don't think U2 will be in?
I wonder if you can get deep-vein thrombosis in an armchair?

 

[pub crawler]

Contrary to my previous post in this thread, I am not 100% Irish, nor have I ever lived in Ireland, but I thought a certain belfastian Interferencer would see my post and call me out on my joke of a declaration.

 

[melon]

I'm Irish...

But I'm also English, Scottish, French, German, and Dutch, with scant traces of Spanish, Italian, Russian, and American Indian.

[drifter]

I'm (mostly) Italian.....
and...
i'm related to the Joe Benano (sp?)
can anyone beat that!?

 

[wertsie]

Both my parents are at least a quarter Irish...We're also German, British, Hungarian, and maybe other stuff!
