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 />
