My mother is Chinese. My dad is American mutt. That's the extent of my knowledge on the subject.

I have some ancestry from Munster in Ireland, although the DNA results my mother took say Connacht. My grandmother came from County Tipperary, and that's in Connacht. Actually, I think her birth was the reason her mother left Ireland; I believe she was borne out of wedlock and I know great things did not happen to women who gave birth out of wedlock in that particular time and place.

According to my genetic report:

Scotland 49%
Germanic Europe 32%
England & Northwestern Europe 8%
Wales 7%
Norway 2%
Ireland 2%

I don't know how many generations back my family immigrated or really anything about my family history.

Tipperary is in Munster. :wink:

Yep. And those institutions dragged their asses all the way to 1996.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdalene_Laundries_in_Ireland wrote: In Dublin in 1993, the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity had lost money in share dealings on the stock exchange; to cover their losses, they sold part of the land in their convent to a property developer. This led to the discovery of 133 corpses in a mass grave. The Sisters arranged to have the remains cremated and reburied in another mass grave at Glasnevin Cemetery, splitting the cost of the reburial with the developer who had bought the land. It later transpired that there were 22 more corpses than the sisters had applied for permission to exhume. In all, 155 corpses were exhumed and cremated.

You know, I actually looked it up before the post to confirm that Tipperary was in Munster, and then I screwed up and posted that it was in Connacht anyway.

Lá Shona Padraig!

Missed my chance to turn the forum green for the day. :heh:

Will be the quietest St. Patrick's day in Ireland that has been for a long time. Even the snakes might come back.
