My Mom's family was 1st generation from Italy
My Fathers family was 1st Generation from County Cork Southern Ireland.
but we never met any of my fathers family, except for his brother. My Dad's mom died when he was 2 1/2 yrs old. Dad took off when me Dad and his brother were 12 and 13 living in seattle and they came home from school one day and he was gone and they never saw him again. He just abanded them and moved to Austrailia and then settled in Vancouver BC. It's all a sad story.
So we learned the Italian way of life, but in the last 10 years I have been to Ireland 3 times.
Thanks for asking
RRobert, What made you decide to get married on St. Patrick's Day? Are you Irish as well as Italian?[/QUOTE]
