Monday April 29th

Journal - Who is the oldest family member of your family you have ever met? What do you know about your family history? Have your parents ever told you anything thing about your family history?  Do you know what kind of heritage you have? Explain as much as you can about your family and any history you have knowledge of.

The oldest person I have met in my family is my great uncle Dan. He is 87 currently.I know on my mom's side I am 100% Irish, descended from a noble family there. I don't know about my dad's side. I'm pretty sure that in Ireland during the potato famine, my grandmas ancestors went to Canada. They lived there for a while until my Grandma was born and then they came to the US. I'm pretty sure my dad's side is just European of some kind. If you research the O'Byrnes family (which is my grandma's middle name) you'll find a lot of information on that Irish noble family, I think even including a princess.
