So I got to thinking how many of you have strong Irish roots? Post your family surname mine is Moore

Grandmother was O'Neil

O'Dobbins

My Great grandmothers maiden name was Woods.

McShane

McBurney

McCann

Im a Coffey my wife was a McGuire.and a real redhead spitfire.

Mum was O'Donnell - straight from Ireland.

Beautiful- redhead, full of life.

Loved guns and the "haaarrrrses "

Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick

Woods is Irish...?

Yes its Gaelic name is O Cuill

Good question, I just know she came from Belfast, along with her siblings, who settled in Saskatchewan .

No one has ever been able to prove whether my surname is Irish or Scottish... It's very unusual and hard for most folks to pronounce correctly on the first try... But it has proven to be untraceable thus far.

So my ancestors were either illiterate and screwed up the spelling, or someone was fleeing a warrant... Likely both. Lol

Mike

Funny thing. Growing up, my mom's mother always said she was scotch/Irish or scotch , Irish and German. Her mother was an Irwin, her father was a Simon, don't know which whas which or who was what .

I think "Scotch" is a whiskey. Maybe you mean Scots ????

Mike in A-Town you never did say your name. And as far as Irish and Scottish there are a lot of similarities and it sound like your lineage was lost in the shuffle unless you can come up with a town where you had relations

Sodom ???

That is one of the best Irish jokes ever!

I am Russian/Polish. We celebrate with the Irish whisky and beer and corned beef and cabbage.
