So I just found out I have Irish blood in my veins.

[Swede]

I knew, the Swedish side, my dad's parents came directly from Sweden to Canada. But mom's side is a real Heinze 57 mix. Scottish, French, Cree and now Irish. I'll have to wear green on St. Paddy's day.

1. Welcome!

I didn't find out until about 5 or 6 years while doing adoption search. Turns out my birth mother's family is 100% Irish on both sides. I have connected with two of my birth sisters and one of them now lives only a couple of miles from me.

Still haven't found any contacts on my birth father's side but still working on it. ☘️

2. Top o the morning!

3. Irish blood

Congratulations and Cead Mile Failte on discovering some Irish roots. I like the saying” everyone is Irish on St Patrick’s day, because it reflects on the general welcoming spirit of most people of Irish bloodlines, here,in Ireland, or wherever the Irish were driven to settle. May I suggest listening to the song “Wearin’ of the Green” to help you develop a rebel heart, and then, in honor of your Swedish roots( also compassionate welcoming folks) listen to a song by the great Irish singer-songwriter Andy Irvine, “Raoul Wallenberg “, a tribute to the great Swedish humanitarian that helped save thousands of Jews from German Nazis and Hungarian fascists.
