Well, I'm a bit of a mutt. On my mother's side I have Irish, English, French, and German. Father's side I have Swedish and Native American (Seneca). Does that count?

Hey... McLaughlin! That's my mother's maiden name! That's funny. Most people don't know how to say it much less spell it.

My mother was a McCarty. supposedly we were here pre-revolutionary war, but I've only traced back to the earliest birth in Kentucky in 1786. From County Cork. Then there's the Wilson on Daddy's side. Other than that, alot of English and Dane.

HOWYA!

All Irish here. Keane- Walsh from county Cork, the real capitol of Ireland. Come over and see us some time!

When I was doing my research for my heritage (which I already knew was Irish) I even found the passenger numbers for my grandfather's family when they came over on the boat. My grandfather was rather easy to find as his name isn't quite as common but Grandma was a Sweeney so that was difficult. Do you know how many Margaret Sweeneys there are? LOL! On the other side we're Sullivans so that's tough too.

Mother's maiden name is Dooley. Her father's parents were from Ireland. I married a Grady. His family came from Ireland a long time ago. Visited Ireland a few years ago with my mother and sister and just loved it! Can't wait til I can take the DH and 3 boys there someday....
