My relatives were from Tipperary and I happen to be related to the Donovan family as well. :wtf:
Perhaps I'm a distant Irish relation living here in the USA? :rofl:
I'm not an O'Bama however. ;)

That is when my family came here from Ireland as did many others. They came to New York and then around the Cape Horn they came to the west coast!

I have a cousin that has been working on my mother's side of the family long before there was an internet.
The info. she has and has actually written a book about doesn't match what ancestry.com has on my mother's family.
I'm no big fan of the Church of Latter Day Saints as they call themselves.
It is info. and how you care to interpret it is up to you. It is nice to have some facts to back your ideas up no doubt.

It's a constant reminder of how we are all connected through our shared ancestors.
