How many of us this St. Pattys Day can legitimately say "I'm Irish"?

[ROX]

Well...most of the deal is that in America...if you are of Irish heritage, saying "your Irish"...same as any other heritage.

Passport need not be consulted.

My ancestors came from County Cavan and landed in Virginia in the 1740's.  From there to South Carolina and from there to Mississippi in the 1830's (via Chattanooga) on flat-bottomed boats.

Like Skyrock, some Cherokee was in the mix during the early 1800's in South Carolina.


We miss ya St. Pat.

I pledge to just drink to excess on a small scale.

[red26]

80% Irish 10% American Indian 10% what ever the milk man was

[SOB]

'bout a quarter Irish and three quarters German.  I'm about to apply for a passport...I'll see if they can pencil that in for me.

[Sox62]

Irish all the way.

[Jackal1]

I`m American, but I will gladly have a shot or two of Irish whiskey in support.

[Gowan]

hmm, im technically part irish, since i have heritage from EVERY country in great britain (that includes ireland)

my girlfriend was actually born in ireland, so that sorta makes me irish if i wasnt, right?

On my Dad's side, his grandfather or great grandfather (can't remember which) came to the US during the potato famine.

[ink]

being an american is not your nationality, as some seem to think, maybe i read them wrong

  my granfather, and grandmother on my mothers side, came from ireland, there names is Gallagher,  when they where in ireland it was O'Gallagher, my fathers parents came from Canada, that makes me 50% french/50% irish.

[BTW]

I see Leprechauns.

I guess that makes me Irish...
