Ain't genealogy fun?

I tried learning mine for many years, but no one on my dad's side of the family would ever say a word about anything, other than "we're 100% Irish". Then, pops died. I never knew anything else. Then, my grandmother died a few months later. In her remains, I found about 20 pages of my family heritage on my dad's side. Needless to say, I now know why no one talked about our ancestors The story is amazing, but too long to share
