My children have Irish names, some even spelled in traditional ways that confuse other people.<br />I grew up thinking I was Irish and Native American along with my Norweigian, German and English. Come to find out the Native American line was just a parallel one that didn't actually mix with mine. Heartbreak #1. Then find out later, that although my Allen line lived in Ireland for many generations, they never actually married any Irish people, and they were all English all the way. Heartbreak #2. <br />I am a bit jealous to find that you are Irish.

I still identify with the Irish, though - and know little about Scotland. It's an odd feeling.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.com
