Reply #6: Actually, Coleman isn't just an Irish name [View All]

[dflprincess]

One of my grandma's cousins (Irish Catholic) married a guy whose last name was Coleman who was Jewish (quite the upset to both families back in 1920) and I once worked with a guy who last name was Coleman who was also Jewish - we went over our family trees and he was no relation to the Coleman grandma's cousin married.

However, you are correct, Normie is no relation to Nick or Chris Coleman, though I've heard he never tried to discourage any confusion along those lines espcially among those of us who remember Nick, Sr. who was a fine liberal and (state) Senate Majority Leader.
