My Great Grandfather spoke Gaelic. When I was a child I would asked him to teach me he would always ask "why, your an American?". Just hearing the language takes me back and I can almost smell his cigars again. Thank you so much for this.

I very much wish my forebears has maintained the cultural vestiges that they left behind when they came to the New World. If it weren't for places like this then it would be very unlikely that I would be rediscovering them. Thank you, rabble, and thank you, Nathan. It is always an enlightening joy to read your posts.

It's sad how common a view that was among that generation. They and the subsequent one pretty much decided not to pass it on when they got to locations where it wasn't the dominant tongue.
