Wow...raise your hand, Carole!
Well,
Lots of my American friends here introduced themselves as, "Hi, I'm American, but my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother's cousin was Irish, so I'm *really* Irish-American so yeah, of course you count!
Well, I'm not american, though I have relatives on the american continent (Canada included). But my great-great-great...LOL.
Nope, the irish roots has more to do with celtic origins (from Ireland to Britanny, french celtic region).
But, glad to be 'part of the club!'
