I'm learning the older I get is to go with your first instincts. You should have asked her. The worst that could have happened is that very loudly she could have looked at you and said,"Leave me alone woman! Are you insane? I don't know you!" ;-) . I did hear her >talking with some other old fella about church and >mass, so they'd be Catholic, probably Irish (the look >of my mother's family was so Irish, it's almost a >cliche). What look is this? Black Irish? (although from what I understand,Black Irish are protestant) I have a half-sister who is 100% Irish;reddish hair,green eyes, fair. I on the other hand have very dark hair,blue eyes,fair,high cheekbones and about 75% Irish. (don't ask me where I get the 75% from) Have you been to the Ellis Island website? IF any of your ancestors came to the states you can type in a name and if they are on record it will till you what boat,year, age and from where they traveled. Counties in Ireland,Scotland etc. The "Family Tree Maker" is invaluable for anyone interested in Genealogy.
