Sorry John, To be more precise: The only Irish heritage in my lineage stems from 4 generations back. My great-great grandparents immigrated to the Illinois prairie and had a son. Of course, all of their forebearers were probably Irish, but they would be the latest and only generation in my lineage that was born in Ireland. The remainder is English and Polish. Regards, Bob S.
