My Irish Heritage

My Great-great grandfather was Micheal O'Nevil. We don't know much about him other than he came to the US by way of Canada during the Potato Famine. We haven't known his name for very long, but we have found other branches of our family through him.

My family is very much into searching our family tree. I'm not. I like to know the stuff but I find the actual research...*shrug* I can't say boring, because I like researching other subjects.

Anyway, the thing I like most about family history is that it gives me a sense of belonging. I've always been teased about my red hair but now knowing that it's because of my heritage, I kinda enjoy the teasing. Silly, huh? Espeically since I'm only something like 1/32.

There are lot's of good things I can say about being Americanm or even South Dakotan, but there's something about saying Irish American that makes me feel like a belong to a group that's, if not as big, at least as note-worthy.
