Terence McCann Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Back at you Brian. I took the day off. Will be staying at home with the wife watching some movies we rented. St. Pats day and New Years Eve are amateurs day out. Oh yea, we bought a corned beast for tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hi All, Happy St. Paddy's day![:-party] This used to be one of my favorite days of the year. With a name like Michael Patrick Joseph O'Handley you'd think I'd be 100% Irish. Truth is, I'm not sure whether the progenitor was Irish, Scotch, English or an Arab trader who jumped ship in Scotland (Although I think I'll just go with Scotch or at least Celt.).[:-paperba We heard for decades that the O'Handley's came to Cape Breton, minus the "O", from County Roscommon. Then a distant cousin emailed me the document below about 5 years ago. What's a mongrel to do when his favorite myth has been destroyed?

Brian G Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 My, the old spell checker has a hard time with the celtic heritage, doesn't it. I haven't seen that much red underlining since I left high school. [] All of our ancestories are pretty much reduced to charming trivalities in this country anyway. Very few of us have any meaningful connection to "the old country". We're a mutt nation by and large, and it's an important part of our genius and success. Whatever we were once, we're now American-That, not That-American, IMHO. We're Americans first. Brian G.
