2 of my 4 grandparents were born there. gggrandfather came here in about 1800. came straight to chi as far as i can tell. 5th gen chi irish. so, i do have ancestors to talk to. family plot in a lovely catholic cemetery full of irishmen. live here since '87, and never knew til '20.
if i die here, i want to join them.

and yes, it is the curse of the irish. some enjoy it, but many suffer from it.
