re: Who here considers themselves to be Irish?

My family are mutts. I can't lock down one thing. It's like side 1... Country people from Oklahoma and Indiana, going back to land-grab. Then before they are all of British isles descent.

Other side, it's North Italian by way of Chicago, mixed with fourth generation Southern Mississippi.
Both of which had some Irish, my grandma had some German and way down the line a Cherokee great great grandmother.

Actually had traced the family back on both sides to Europe.

My mother's maiden name was Kelley.

Is that Irish enough?
