My mother's family are from Sligo but there is a possibility that my father's family is from Ulster. I have done some genealogical research of that clan which seems to be pretty big. I think I have traced that part of the family back through Ellis Island and believe them to be Catholics.  Erin go Bragh! Long live Ireland! |

I wish I knew more Gaelic............but I admit, the bv or the mv (and similar) combinations leave me confused....
btw: my father's side of the family (the bigger part of the Irish side) has done some research, and apparently, my family was dispossessed to wales.........so, my great grandmother's maiden name was Walsh (Welsh) which was a catchall for the Irish that were moved to Wales after the English took their land........Assholes. prior to that, My father hasnt told me. We really dont speak. But it really doesnt matter. My SOUL is 200% IRISH. oh YES.
