Sounds like you could practically be royalty! My DH always thought he was related to Captain John Smith (HA!!) until we delved into it and discovered it was just a family folk tale. I kept him, anyway...jphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14230118372789434756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-40399364082896194932008-03-18T07:08:00.000-05:002008-03-18T07:08:00.000-05:00Hey VP: And I hope you had a great SPD too! (I'll leave the green beer for hubby; I'm a "wino"...)<BR/><BR/>Huckdoll: My parents were on a mission in the 80's when they first retired to trace back our family tree as far as they could. They travelled, researched and made books of both sides of the family for all three of their kids to pass on the information. One side has been traced back to 1555! It really is amazing to read the stories, and makes them extra special when you know that they are now a part of you... and your children.Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01797167028822330935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-83527324539747338922008-03-18T01:27:00.000-05:002008-03-18T01:27:00.000-05:00My gosh...and I was thinking St. Patty's Day was all about the green beer :)<BR/><BR/>It's awesome you can trace your family history so far back...very cool!Huckdollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07492761626352593047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-18353766959830795612008-03-17T22:00:00.001-05:002008-03-17T22:00:00.001-05:00From one Iriah girl to another HAPPY ST.

Green bagels??? Brings back memories of the moldy one I took a bite out of recently.... ;)<BR/><BR/>Lotus07: Snake on a Plane??? Didn't you see that movie? You can't do that without Sam Jackson there to protect you.<BR/><BR/>OhMommy: I love all holidays too... after all, what are holidays without all the special food? Not much of a holiday at all.<BR/><BR/>Jeff: Was your pint tinted green? Har! About the Blog Hoppin'... I can never visit the whole list in one night; there are way too many.<BR/><BR/>Momo Fali: I don't think I've ever tried soda bread.... I'll have to try one day.<BR/><BR/>VE: "Irish you a happy St. Patricks day"... Hah! That's a great one!<BR/><BR/>Phoenix5: Yup, I was in green today, had our Irish Stew and lime cookies... it was a good day (especially since I was off work today too!)<BR/><BR/>Sweet Irene: We must have been visiting each other's blogs at the exact same time tonight! I just got back from there to read your comment! Thanks, and yes, the cookies were delish, if I do say so myself. ;)Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01797167028822330935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-17202908639320193552008-03-17T21:21:00.000-05:002008-03-17T21:21:00.000-05:00I am all Dutch, of course, but my daughter is part Irish through her paternal great grandmother, whose name was Irene something or other, I have forgotten. So my daughter can celebrate her Irish roots, which I am sure she has done this weekend. <BR/><BR/>Those cookies look good!Sweet Irenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-60212215672900950672008-03-17T20:51:00.000-05:002008-03-17T20:51:00.000-05:00I have no Irish blood in me at all, so my brother, the geneology expert for my mother's side tells me! I had always thought I was 1/4 Irish, but I recently found out that quarter is Scottish! Oh well! I've never really been into St. Paddy's Day since I don't drink, and what else is there to do? ;-) Mrs. Phoenix, on the other hand, is a 100%, true green Irish colleen (no, not her name) born in Northern Ireland. And even SHE didn't wear green today! LOL! So that makes my kids 1/2 Irish, which they were quite proud to proclaim today. Hope your day is filled with green and fun!Phoenix5http://www.blogger.com/profile/06717890637366842487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-50163869134505195132008-03-17T15:28:00.000-05:002008-03-17T15:28:00.000-05:00Irish you a happy St. Patricks day...the only true "green" holiday...VEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730956006290504616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-45076608851618453192008-03-17T14:42:00.000-05:002008-03-17T14:42:00.000-05:00Mmmmm...soda bread and green beer await me.
