I do enjoy reading your history posts, Michelle! I am half Irish and half Scot, but not protestant, my Scottish half came in the early 1600's to Salem, Mass. So I might have some witches in my past! ha ha! My Irish half came during the potato famine to Novia Scotia, then Boston.

I believe his ancstors came from Donegal during the potato famine era and settled in Pennsylvania to work in the coal mines. <br /><br />I heard on St. patrick's Day that 32 million Americans can trace some of their ancestry back to Ireland.
