Do you have the Luck o' the Irish?  No worries if you don't, you can use some of mine. I am of Irish decent on both sides of my family. My paternal great- grandma was Verna Rawle Carrigan, who's family hailed from Carbury, County Kildare, Ireland.

And on my mother's side the Irish ancestry can be traced back as far back as the year 549 to King Ainmercach of Ireland. Whoa!
