How many of you have Irish in you?

Question

Im part Irish, Indian, German, and plenty other! What about you?

Answer 1

I have some Irish ancestors if that's what you mean!

Answer 2

My maternal grandmother's father immigrated from Ontario, Canada, to Texas during the 1880s, making his way South working on the railroads whereupon he married a Protestant Scottish American.  His father came from County Donegal in Northern Ireland.  His family was Roman Catholic.

I'm an American of primarily Scottish and Scots-Irish [Ulster-Irish] descent with a little bit of Irish and English thrown in the mix.  Other than my great-grandfather, who received his American citizenship in 1916, both sides of my family have lived in Texas since shortly after the American Civil War.

Answer 3

BOY!!!!! your mother got around didnt she?

hope they all paid child support.

Answer 4

My husband's grandmother's family were from Cork - the rest of his family from Russia and Portugal.

I don't know of any Irish in my family (although there are some Colleys). 1 Gt. grandmother was Welsh, 1 3x Gt. grandfather was a Scot surname Grant. Then back in 1683 I have the marriage of umpteenth Gt. grandparents called Beniamin Bourgoyne and Gatherude Rue (so I guess a bit of French), I have Viking DNA and earliest DNA location is some 17,000 years ago East of present-day Moscow.

Answer 5

Great grandmother was Irish, I have Mexican, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Roman, Irish, Apache, Tijumaru-mujaru (Native American tribe), and possibly black (still trying to determine if that is me or another Sanchez).

You'll find that most people, especially in North America have at least some Irish in their background.  They tended to be far less racist than the other groups OF THE TIME.  Don't want to be called racist now; while there are racists in each race racism isn't the same problem it once was for any race.  But back then the Irish overall were more willing than other races to mix with all other races.

English 60%

Answer 11

I have pretty much every single nationality in the entire world in me.

just kidding, but there seriously are like twenty.

Answer 12

:) Im Australian and i have english, irish, prussian and german in me. but mostly irish, from my ancestors who came out in the famine.

Answer 13

My Irish paternal grandmother was from Clogher, Co.Louth., otherwise I'm English, for at least 700 years.

Answer 14

Lots of people in the world have Irish in them. Of course, they don't necessarily know it! Our ancestors were often more relaxed about s*x than we give them credit for, and there must be lots of families where an ancestor had a secret fling with a pretty colleen or a roguish boy.

Anyway, as my Catholic Irish granny always said, we're all related, so the whole world is 'one of the family.'

Answer 15

Mostly Irish but some Scot and a little English

Answer 16

I'm all Irish

I know my dads side of the family came from Scotland but that was in like the 17th century

Don't think it really counts!

Besides from that my family is 100% Irish
