In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I wanted to share the ancestor's behind my Irish DNA.
Based on my Ancestry.com DNA results, I am 31%, Irish and Scottish.
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
