    Connect birthplaces of your ancestors for example great or great-great etc. grandparents.

    Looks a bit like this with one red circle representing a great grandparent and the concentration representing four.

    I assume since you say great or great-great grandparents you are trying to get at where a person's ethnic origins lie, so anyways I put red dots on all the places where I have foreign-born ancestors, they'd all be either great-great grandparents, or great-great-great grandparents.

    On some parts of my family I also have Colonial ancestry, which goes back to many different places in England and the Netherlands.

    Your username is Gaelic for O'Kirwan, right?

    I have O'Kirwans among my direct ancestors myself..!

    Ah, a variation of the name.

    My ancestors were actually Kerwins.

    Both are variations of the original O'Kirwan AFAIK.

    I'm not sure if it means we're cousins, but it's cool either way.

    Irish-Americans are very passionate about their Irish heritage. My Dad's family is blatantly Irish-American. There is a certain 'Irish-American' culture that is distinct from both Irish and typical American culture, and my Dad's family fits that bill. One aspect is the near-deity status of John F. Kennedy, even if you never agreed with his politics, he was 'one of us' and that's all that matters..another aspect, of course, is Roman Catholicism.

    I don't really consider myself to be part of that Irish-American culture but I consider my Dad and his family to be. I'm just an American mutt at this point, I think.
