WANTED – IRISH ANCESTOR<br />
I’ve been tracing my family history for about 26 years now and it can be very<br />
frustrating hearing people find Irish people by the bus load.<br />
Some don’t even seem as if they want any more….<br />
“I’ve got 6” one lady boasted!! Another had 5. I stop listening after a while<br />
because I’m just green with envy.<br />
Well, all I want is to find ONE Irish ancestor….I can’t give a rational<br />
explanation as why I have the desire to have an Irish ancestor but perhaps<br />
it’s because my name is Irish and I was born on 17 th March – St Patrick’s Day<br />
and have always had a love of everything Irish…..you’d think it was in my<br />
genes …but NO!!!<br />
So if anyone has a surplus of Irish ancestors then draw up the adoption<br />
papers and I’d be happy to take one off your hands.<br />
I promise to give them a good home…..<br />
