Hi Mary Lee,
Actually my husband isn't Irish. I have his family way back - some to
the 1400s - and unless you count Ulster Scots, I haven't turned up a
single Irishman or woman. I, on the other hand, am about 3/4 Irish,
of the starving famine kind.

He is descended from some of the same early New England puritans and
quakers that Sarah Palin is. Parkhurst, Leete, Rice and Frost, and
probably one of those Carters.

I do have a Burke line, so that's a possibility for me. Given my
druthers though, I'd just as soon pass! My daughter says, "If anyone
asks, I'm adopted"! Marianne
