#Irish Blood

[cillianmurphysdimples]

I often wonder if my parents ever had/have a serious crisis of national identity when we'd all go to Ireland when I was younger, or at my entire existence.

Imagine - you're Irish, and your kids are English.

You're supposed to hate these cunts, but you can't because your kids open their gobs and out flop English accents!

I think I'll take that thought with me forever. 😭😂😂

March Is Known As 1 Of My Most Favorite Months Of The Early Year Besides January

IRISH AMERICAN HISTORY OR HERITAGE MONTH IS IT WERE.

YES YES YES. THE IRISH HAVE A MONTH ALL TO THEMSELVES AND COINCIDENTALLY

IT COEXIDES WITH OUR VERY GOOD LUCK/ LUCKIEST DAY OF THE YEAR.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY 🍀☘🇮🇪

Which would make sense anyway since its the only Irish Holiday anyone celebrates besides Ireland 🇮🇪

Anyway

Irish-American Heritage Month is celebrated by proclamation of the President and Congress in the United States to honor the achievements and contributions of Irish immigrants and their descendants living in the United States. It was first celebrated in 1991. The heritage month is in March to coincide with Saint Patrick's Day, the Irish national holiday on March 17. Heritage Months are usually proclaimed by nations to celebrate centuries of contributions by a group to a country.

So as a Fellow Irishman myself from My Dad's side of course.

To all of My Fellow Irish-Americans and Irishmen and Irish Women 🇮🇪

Go Forth and Make This Month Of March Grand as the Emerald Isles themselves and Let Our Culture Shine like A Shamrock ☘

THIS IS IRISH-AMERICAN HISTORY AND HERITAGE MONTH 🍀☘🇮🇪

How Irish are you, anyway?

Sooner or later, the question will arise how Irish I am.

Let's start with the first generation of Irish immigrants. John R. Mills and Margaret Bibby had a number of children, two of which I'll focus on here. Since both of them were born and raised in Ireland, they would be 100% Irish, and by extension their children, all born in Warren County, New York, would be 100% Irish.

This post was originally posted on WordPress in May 2018.

The first of those children I'll focus on here is Robert Byron Mills, later called RBM I or "Uncle Rob." He had one child with a woman named Hattie Ellen Stanley in 1901, named Stanley Sterling Mills (the first name coming from Hattie's maiden name and the middle name possibly coming from the Hotel Sterling which RBM I ran). Hattie's parents, Addison and Jane. Jane's parents are not known, but Addison's are, and it is clear that his ancestors had been in America since the 1640s. With this, it seems evident that Hattie did not have Irish blood in her, as far as we know. This would make Stanley 50% Irish. For all of us, however, Stanley is a dead-end because he died in 1934 in Cincinnati, with a very mysterious life, and had no children.

Dora, Cyrus, and their children

The second of those children, I'll focus on here, is Dorothy Ann Mills, also called Dora or Dory. She married a man named Cyrus Winfield Packard, who I know from my extensive research on the Packard family, had no Irish blood in him. This means all her children would be 50% Irish. One of her children was Robert Barnabas Packard, better known as RBM II or Bert, as he was renamed either by his own choice or by Uncle Rob as Robert Byron Mills II after Dora's death in 1895 when he was adopted by Uncle Rob. Now, since he was adopted, this means that his Irish blood descends from his mother Dora. As a result, he is 50% Irish as his mother was 100% Irish, and Cyrus had no Irish blood in him.

We then get to Bert. He married Miriam E. Hirst  and had three children: Robert Byron Mills III (Bob), Helen Eileen Mills (Helen), and Carol Ruth Mills. To my knowledge, the Hirsts were living in America by the 19th century, and likely earlier, with ultimate roots in England like the Stanley family which was mentioned earlier in this post. As such, they did not have Irish blood. With Bert having Irish blood, but Miriam not, this means that their three children would be 25% Irish. Without getting into the weeds too much, and off track, it seems evident that none of the spouses of Bob, Helen, or Carol had any Irish blood in them, but rather that of those who had immigrated from Europe, whether Albania, Germany, France, or elsewhere. With this, it would mean that all the children of Bob, Helen, and Carol, of which there are many, would be 12.5% Irish. Some of their children, had children, of which this writer is part of. This would make me, and all others of the same generation, you could say, 6.25% Irish. [1]

With this, you can't go around and wave an "Irish pride" flag or anything as that amount is utterly minuscule. But it is not insignificant. As such, it is part of a collective ancestry.

Notes

[1] According to my calculations, looking at previous family lineage, I am 25% Austro-Hungarian, 25% Italian, about 2% English, about 6% French, about 13% German, and about 6% Irish, as noted above.

Authentic Irish Foods for Samhain

🩸 Blood pudding (living cattle could be bled through the winter to provide the material as well as collecting blood when the cattle were slaughtered to keep the numbers down for winter)

🫓 Brambrack

🍲 Stew

Lamb

Beef

Wild boar

Domestic pig

Deer

Goose

Mallard

Hare

🐗 Salted wild boar and domestic pig (it is possible that other meats were salted for preservation but given that salt was an expensive commodity and no records indicate other meats we simply do not know. I will note here that we also don't seem to have records of smoked meats for preservation during this time)

🦌 From Samhain to Bealtaine it was considered inappropriate to hunt wild game, including boar. So while wild meats were likely eaten and preserved through this time, much like crop harvests for Lughnasadh, any game that wasn't taken before this festival was supposed to be left alone to breed. (Very unlike our modern hunting schedules)

🍺 Mead and Barely ale

🥣 Porridge

Oat

Barley

🥛 Dairy (this would likely become more limited as the season progressed, but butter has been found in bogs, presumed to be preserved but potentially given as offerings)

Cow's milk

Butter

Curds

mulchán 'hard cheese' (the exact nature of this cheese is unknown but it was described as being extremely hard and could be stored for long periods of time)

🦪 Sea food

Sloke

Clams

Muscles

Crab

Halibut

Sea Salmon

🌿Native Culinary Plants growing in Ireland at this time of year

Skirret

Apples

Purple sprouting boccoli

Wild cabbage

Blackberry

Raspberry

Rowan berries

Elder berries

Sloes

Rosehip

Acorn

Chestnuts

Hazelnuts

Hen of the woods

Pullball

Fairy Ring Champignon

Chanterelle

Porcini

Black Trumpet

Saffron Milk Caps

Cauliflower Mushroom

Wood Blewit

Penny bun

There would be an abundance of foods at this point in the year, but that food would become lesser as the season progressed do to lack of production in the environment and the fact that this point in the year was a time for traveling and feasting (likely to increase bonds amongs the Tuatha and because people would not be as occupied with farming and raiding).
