    When i went to Cookstown a few years ago, I was at a pub and they asked what brought me there seeing as it wasn't really a big tourist destination. Told them that's where my family came from and I wanted to see it. That's about all i said on the matter. They told me it took me long enough to get back there, and they bought me a couple drinks. Was a great time

      Have to be fair. I dealt with tourists in Scotland for some years. Many of them American, of course. And the vast majority perfectly polite and kind people - even gained some pen friends.
      But it had to be said that when that small proportion of Americans decided to be stupid, they redefined stupidity.
      No madam, I don't care how much you paid for your air ticket, barge into a Scottish manor house uninvited and you're going to be arrested. You are NOT in Brigadoon...

      Like seriously, we make a laugh of the ones who insist they’re Irish and try to tell everyone. Even if their great-great grandparents were, we don’t consider the descendants Irish anymore, they’re totally absorbed into American culture now. They can say they have Irish ancestry no bother, because that’s true, but if they weren’t born or lived a good portion of their lives here, they’re not considered Irish. You say you’re from a place, people believe you are directly from there. Of course they’ll be vexed when you say you were actually born in Boise, Idaho and have never been to Ireland.

      Well the thing is, people have both ethnicities and nationalities. "American" is not an ethnicity unless you are an indigenous person to the Americas. Everyone else is ethnically something else and American by Nationality. So, whether or not you consider people Irish or not isn't really relevant. People can be Irish by ethnicity regardless of what anyone's opinion of it is. The culture of the US is such that because of various diaspora including Irish, ethnicity is something very relevant to American culture and society and it's something that is frequently discussed. People who are telling you about their ancestry are trying to relate and connect with you as a human being and if you take issue with that that is your issue. No one is trying to take your Irishness from you.

    The only thing worse than this is if you are in America and you get asked if you're "Scotch or Irish" by someone who has never even left the country and then they reply "Me too!" regardless of your answer.
    In Scotland, we're quite liberal with our national identity but the most basic prerequisite is having set foot on our soil...

      Scotch is whisky, or perhaps a
      cholesterol laden egg. The people are Scottish or Scots. I'm not even a Scot myself, but referring to the natives as "scotch " really irritates me. It's the pedantic half Welsh, half Irish in me. Ps note the correct spelling for scotch whisky. Just saying.

    What annoys me is that Americans modelled their entire concept of liberty off of the concept of the 'rights of an Englishmen', speak the language, and have more ancestry from England than any other place yet don't realise that being 29% German more than likely makes you 71% English.
    Also the majority of 'Irish' ancestry in the US is actually Ulster-Scots ancestry that was merely called 'Irish' on the documentation because Ireland and Northern Ireland weren't yet split. So even most "Irish Americans" get their 'Irishness' from ancestors that were actually English, Scotch, and Irish spilt three ways.
    Imagine having an Ulster royalist for a great great grandfather only to honour him by flying the flag of the guys than shot his brother who stayed behind to take care of the parents.

    In my sole experience in Ireland, I was hitchhiking from Cork to Dublin during the Summer of Miracles in 1985, when the women in their housecoats were scrabbling up muddy hillsides, and more often than not sliding on their generous backsides down again, in order to catch a sight of a weeping statue in some grotty grotto, a most surreal and amusing spectacle. Anyhoo, I was pretty much dead broke and I managed to survive by visiting local pubs and ordering a Guinness in my native Chicago accent, whereupon the patrons and the landlord would invariably ask me to regale them with Al Capone stories, which I was uniquely able to do because my great-uncle Tom Donlon, who worked Internal Affairs investigating bent cops for the Chicago PD during the Gangster Era, had told me hundreds of crazy stories when I was just a wee lad. I never told my audience that Old Tom was 2nd generation Irish...and my audiences just loved my stories. They insisted on paying for my stout and there was always a free plate of bread and whatnot. Marvelous experience. The English were not so kind as I then made my way down from Liverpool to London, although there were some lovely Jamaicans who put me up while I figured out a way to get back home again without any money to speak of.

    At the start of Covid, i did a 10 week Irish language course as my kid is in a Gaelscoil and I needed a refresher. Anyway, there were two Irish Americans on the course and they were both really good at speaking As Gaeilge (Irish language). I was blown away that they went to that much trouble to connect with their own heritage and culture. So now Garron, I'll have no one speaking bad about our Irish America Diaspora (or Australia, there was an Australian lady on it also). If they are 1% Irish and just want to get drunk on St Patrick's day, then fireaway but if they have made the effort, to learn about their ancestral home and understand their own history then we can't be "othering" them. ☘️

Plus your own birth certificate, proof of address etc. You don’t need to be in contact with your nan, you just need to get copies of her birth & marriage certificates to prove your connection, and your mother/fathers.
