The company I work for has Fitzgerald in the name so I guess that makes me more Irish than the beer I'll be drinking...

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY ALL

Mom's side of the family hails from all over the U.K.

lightning9191 · 03-17-2009, 10:23 AM

My grandfather was 100% Irish and my grandmother was Scottish/Irish from what we know. Enjoy St Pattie's day!!

gnukfu · 03-17-2009, 10:34 AM

Both my grandparents on my mother's side came to the US from Ireland so that makes me Irish today....and every day....

chenvt · 03-17-2009, 10:36 AM

Little do people know that there were Asians in Ireland long ago.. Our name was hacked apart over the years, changing the "O'Chens" into today's "Chens"

Lucky_Hippo · 03-17-2009, 10:51 AM

My Grand-Mother blessed me with my middle name claiming she "wanted to make sure I should have a strong Irish name to fall back upon."

The name Shannon Finerty has served me well!

Happy St. Patrick's day my friends!

My other grandparent is South African and it did not help me at all.
