3. I watched Aerial Ireland yesterday on the Smithsonian Channel

Obama’s great-great-grandfather came from a little Irish town. When this was discovered, he went for a visit and everyone was thrilled to see him. The town now has an Obama pub and an Obama Plaza. They’re proud of their connection to him.

4. My great grandfather was Irish. Some strand last name tho...Baffetta???

I have two phots of scruffy five brothers and their family. One day I will try to do some research on the name Baffetta...if that is really how it is spelled. This is what was written on an old postcard.
