Tru here.

March is traditionally the month we are all “a little bit Irish”.

my dna is almost 40% matching dna in Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Welsh dna may come from grandfather, where the Pate/Blount line takes us to rumors of Prince Owain IV of Wales (1353-1416).  But so far these are unsubstantiated rumors.

Family History shows my grandmother’s paternal grandparents (Kilroy/Deignan) came from Ireland during the Potato Famine.  (see blog entry “from Ireland”).  Her maternal side (McNeel/Currie/Douglass/McMillen/McHarg/Shannon/Reid) mostly came from Ireland.  But if we take those generations back to early 1700s, and especially in 1600s, rumor is that Erma’s maternal ancestors were almost exclusively in Scotland.

Unfortunately i have been able to find very little reliable Family History data for our ancestors born in Ireland and Scotland.  Right now i rely mostly on dna, and hoping to eventually find some dna “cousins” in Ireland and Scotland who can help with reliable local sources.

UPDATE:  ((Previously, i had a notice here at base of each entry with announcement and Logo for HealthLine 2019 Best Alz Blogs.  To my surprise, after HealthLine contacted me in January with fact that i was included in 2019 Best Alz Blogs, then announcing it publically on March 18, ten days later they decided against including writers with Mild Cognitive Impairment, and removed this blog from their listing, leaving only one first-person perspective.  Now i am deleting each of those announcements of my inclusion on HealthLine Best Alz Blogs for 2019.  i hope they soon decide to include at least one other first-person perspective in their “Best Alzheimers Blogs”.)) >> https://www.healthline.com/health/alzheimers-disease/best-blogs-of-the-year
