[…] I’ve spent the last 39 years being told I MUST be Irish what with the freckles, fair skin, blue eyes and formerly dark brown hair, but I could never be sure. […]

I do know my backround and I've discovered that I'm more of a Mutt than anything else.

We have a virtual grab bag of ancestors: Italian, Irish, English, American Indian, Russian, Czech, Sneaky Neighbor....we have it all. I'm more confused now than I was before I delved into my research!!

This was a wonderful post!

I'm sorry you didn't have any more information than "American".

I was able to find out a little more info about my birthparents than you apparently.

I found out their ethnicities. Turns out I'm a Euro-mut: Italian, Irish, English, French, and Scottish.

You look too irish not to be....so I say you're in. Welcome to the club.

I love you so much you should be blushing.

This year, over dinner on St. Patrick's Day, Eva asked why we were celebrating and Jake was all, "Um, cuz we're Irish"... and then we all sort of looked at Eva, and her Chinese little face was all, "Oh, good, Irish."

Wow, what an amazing family story! Some day you’ll have to tell the story about your oldest son, too. I’d love to hear it.

I am of Irish heritage. There’s no denying it if you know my last name. Cordy has many of my traits – pale, pale skin, blonde hair, blue eyes, and my husband’s curls. She looks Irish to everyone she meets. It’s why I keep hoping she’ll want to learn Irish dance someday.

Do you think it was “Stairway to Heaven”? So…sorry…that is the only Zepplin song I know!

I SO wish I had known this….I could have bought you the shirt I saw the other day…it said, “Kiss me..I’m American”.

Oh well….there’s always next year!

LOVE this post!

Well hell – you’re allowed to put anything you want on those forms. Maybe they were just really patriotic Irish?

I had the same desire to find out my heritage too. And for some odd reason the fact that I was half Dutch and half English was exciting.
