Jessica P.	New to the group October 05, 2005 10:13 PM Just joined, hello and Brightest Blessings to all. I'm of Irish descent, grandmothers maiden name was Walsh (married into Penny-which I believe to be an English name), great grandmother was Murphy. Dont really know exactly when my family immigrated over, lost all records in house fire many years ago. Almost everyone in my family, going back a few generations, has the fiery red hair lol, mine is strawberry blonde/red. I have many family friends who come directly from Ireland, LOVE their parents accent lol , so I suppose if anyone had questions I could get into contact with them. [ send green star] [ accepted]

Ari G.	Allo January 18, 2006 4:27 PM Hey, all. I have no connection to Ireland, or anything in the British Isles, for that matter, but love. I love everything about the culture and the history and it's all so fabulous. Sarvo, that is the best emotion I have ever seen. I am part Cherokee, though. Just a bit. I don't know any of the language, but the spirituality is a big part of my own. I can say one thing in Chickasaw, though. It's pronounced "chofka ishkin nahoeba shilumbish", I think. It means "one-eyed wolf spirit". It was my brother's name. I don't remember my own. I have so many links that I will post soon enough! Oh, does anyone know if "Ta se bean ma chroi" is correct grammar for "She is the woman of my heart"? Ari [ send green star] [ accepted]
Patrick M.	January 18, 2006 7:18 PM Hi Ari, Ta se actually means "He is". Ta si means "She is". There should be a long accent mark over both the a and the i. As far as the rest of the phrase, it sounds like something is missing to me. I'll check with my teacher and let you know. Pat [ send green star] [ accepted]
Ari G.	Thank you January 20, 2006 1:54 PM I have one sheet that I have no notice patterns in to get stuff. So I do my best. And I can't type the accent marks with this computer. [ send green star] [ accepted]
anonymous	Hello all! February 14, 2006 2:10 PM I am glad to have found this group! I am of Irish decent also. My family tree contains Wallace's, Cope's, O'Hardaman's(Americanized to Hardman). I do know that my grandmother was from Belfast, my Grandfather was from Dublin. And it made for a very intense relationship! LOL I look forward to learning Irish Gaelic as I have often wondered what Ireland must have been like in the old ways. OT: My mother one time taught me something that she says was Gaelic, but it does not sound like what you hear in the movies, I tend to think it a form of Pig Latin. Whatever it is....I am fluent! Just wish I had not spent so many years learning it thinking it was Gaelic! LOL But it comes in handy when you don't want someone to know what you are saying! LOL [report anonymous abuse] [ accepted]

Kathleen K.	Hello! Saw this group when checking out a January 06, 2007 5:21 AM new potential friend's profile. All-American mixed mutt heritage, yet feel closest to the Celtic (Scots & Irish) ~ am somewhat fey, and sometimes gifted with 'the sight'. 11 generations ago my Nanticoke gramma of Delaware's 'Lost Tribe' mated with a white man. The Nanticokes got lost not because of re/dislocation, but because of intermingling with the Europeans, and by 1795 there were no full bloods left. Have an ear for languages, and once was fluent in French and Russian. Looking forward to learning lots here! 'Erin Go Bragh' is the only Irish I know ~ 'Ireland Forever', right? Light and Love from, Kathleen ( which I have been told means 'beautiful pure-eyed soul' ~ named for my maternal grandma's best friend Kathleen Patrick) [ send green star] [ accepted]

Heidi M.	Hello! September 12, 2007 5:40 PM Hello from a new member! I downloaded the dictionary and copied the pronunciation guide to my file here as well. Whew! But I'm excited to get started. My sister is also a member. I told her we could use it as a secret code at family gatherings!! [ send green star] [ accepted]
