To all of my Irish, near-Irish, and Irish-for-the-Day brethren,
A Happy and Blessed St Patrick's Day - New Calendar
Many years,

I heard years ago that St Patrick was really Eastern Catholic...

St. Patrick was from the extreme Northwestern part of England. His father was a deacon named Calpornius and his grandfather was a priest named Potitus. I don't think that he had any immediate Eastern descent. I suspect that you may be trying to stir the pot.

Very short video (towards the middle of the page on the left) from the 'History Channel' about seperating the facts from the 'blarney'--a brief history on St. Patrick and the feast as it is celebrated today. Enjoy!
...And a Happy St. Patrick's Day to all; a great saint.http://www.msn.com/?mkt=el-gr

Any fellow Irish on the board (Fr. Serge?!). I'm just a quarter, and my ancestors didn't immigrate here recently. In fact, the progenitor of one side of my Irish family immigrated to America because he killed his parish priest...with a pitchfork. At least that's the legend. Yikes!

My paternal grandmother was born in Ireland also in County Cork; (don't know just where) but died suddenly in 1900 when she was a young mother living in the USA. She had immigrated to America when she was 20 as an indentured servant working for her passage as a domestic in NYC before she met and married my grandfather. His parents had immigrated from Ireland with their parents when they were children; but he was born in the Mid-West US as was my father.
May all here have a blessed St. Patrick's Day.

I am not Irish. Will you settle for ancestry from Scotland and Austria?

Oiche na Feile Phadraig!
As my surname indicates, my father's family have lived in West Cork for many generations. My mother's family have lived in Cavan for many generation (all of which proves that nobody is really from Dublin).

We do seem to have a lot of Corkmen or their descendants
wandering about this forum. My great-great-grandfather Callahan
came from Mitchelstown in East Cork, although I can find no
record of his birth/baptism there. It's a mid-Cork family, so
he was probably born there.
