Typing out loud. . . again St. 's Day, Ides of March, etc.

[Guest guest]

Throught the month of February, I watched on PBS channels,

a great deal about the events of " Black History Month, " as honored

on PBS. One program did a DNA study on those who requested

it. Turned out that mostof African-American descent had far more

Irish ancestry than they might have expected. And for that matter,

so did everyone else.

So, this month we survived The Ides of March (courtesy of the Roman

Empire) on March 14th, and now we are having St.'s Day,

which far more of us than might be expected might justifiably celebrate.

And for those who have cystic fibrosis, that gene seems to be more

common among the Irish than most anyone else, and for those with

multiple sclerosis, research shows that it is far more comon in the

northern hemisphere--not that I am blaming the Irish for this one.

Then comes the cruncher; I have oen great-great-grandfather who

was Irish, lived in Dublin, and yes, was jewish, too as the Irish

were kind enough to allow most anyone to come to theri lands.

Love, to all, who may be more Irish than you ever suspected!

Interesting post, n. Thank you! I never thought I was Irish but recently discovered I was wrong.I've been doing genealogy lately. I already knew I had German, Welsh and Cherokee blood in my veins. Now through my genealogy research I have traced back to 1700 (and my fourth great grandparents) when Baltzer Ruckel, born in Germany, married an Irish lass named a Kehlern in Ireland. So IRISH I am! LOLlove to all Sharonhttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/MSersHEALTH/This email is a natural hand made product. The slight variations in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are to be considered flaws or defects.

Somehow dear Sharon, I just KNEW you must have some

Irish in you! My maiden name is , and my mom's was

Kanaly--both quite Irish. Supposedly, there is a tiny bit

of Blackfoot/Crow Native American on my mom's side.

love to you too, Sharon, Kate

More people on the planet have some Celtic in them than most anything

else. . .Those Celts traveled, and we do know what happens during large

migrations of people!

Love to each in our group!
