| I notice the word Ireland popping up here and there in this forum. My Grandfather was %100 Irish, he has passed on but I am still %25 Irish, even though I have never been to Ireland. Any other Irish in the forum want to spill the beans about being Irish, or any thoughts on the Country. |

My Grandmother was 100% Irish and also the master of pale grey meat loaf and refried spaghetti.
My Grandfather was 100% Italian.

Elaborate please. I mean I don't walk around thinking I'm Irish or pine for the motherland.

| You say "but so what", an elaboration would be an interest in geneology. It matters to some, to others maybe not so much. |

This thread directly relates to this one
http://forum.frankblack.net/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19068
because in Goodfellas Ray Liotta's character explains that he and Robert De Niro's character can't become made guys because they are half Irish and only 100% Italian guys can be made so if they step out of line their families in back in Italy can be punished.
KOK, that's your best sigatar yet. I speak from experience, living in a Hello Kitty-filled house.

| Ok Darwin, I see what you mean about being the mutts of the world. But not everone came to the US because "we were kicked out", some came for economic reasons. |

| Being 25% Irish is like having some German, and a few other bloodlines as well. |

I think I've got some Scots, French and possibly Germanic, or maybe Norman decendancy.

I'm 1/2 Irish. I've been to Ireland twice. All I know about Irish people is that they love potatoes.
