Loved it! (I'm backtracking to the ones I missed.) Limerick btw is where my mother's family is from...and I've actually been there. Dad's people are from Laois and Monahan, but I don't know exactly where, Sadly, no one's left to ask

Thank you :-D

I don't have any Irish ancestry that I know of. The closest I can get is my sisters boyfriend, whose mother was from near Cork.

After the Ancestry DNA results, I'm 59% Irish, then comes Scottish, Welsh, Iberian Peninsula, Scandinavian, Flemish, Russian and a teeny tiny bit Jewish.

Everything but the Irish, Scottish and Iberian came as a big surprise... Presuming that most of the non-Irish came from my maternal grandparents. As my dad's parents were both directly from Ireland. Maternal Grandfather's surname name was actually Flemish, and all these years we thought it was Dutch, my grandmother's maiden name was Scottish,

So you never know what's in your ancestry for sure unless you do one of those DNA tests.

My sister in law and her twin sister had their's done and nothing surprising to the sister in law, but her sister had African ancestry in her DNA. Apparently DNA can differ between siblings and they don't get the same DNA passed down from their parents. That was a bit surprising
