    It is hard to believe how young he was and very sad. He was a big strapping man and he was known as "the Big Fella". Yes I've seen Michael Collins the movie. Liam Neeson was a good choice to play him.





    Just going to watch this documentary now.

    Nice, me too. I've become rusty on my Micheal Collins knowledge since the early 2000s. Btw, the people in my avatar are Cork Irish. Great Grandfather and Great, Great Grandfather.

Anyway a bit OT but he is a fascinating man and of course a Corkonian.
    I didn't know that was the denonym. I thought it was a Corkscrew.

    Is that a joke? Cork is also known as the rebel county and I always thought that was due to them being very rebellious against the British but Cork got that name from its support for the Yorkist cause during the War of the Roses and also fighting the Vikings.

    Yeah, a bad one. I could have gone lower and gone for Corksucker, but I decided not to.

    AncestryDNA placed Romania with Eastern Europe so of his Romanian genes some will get Eastern Euro %, some will get Balkan %. when put together it's at least 25% (versus 39% on 23andme which is still more accurate).

    on 23andme I get 40% something Eastern Euro (Ukrainian), 40% something Balkan (Romanian), which is very accurate. they even got the regions right - exactly my mom's and dad's counties in Ukraine and Romania.

    My mom's father's side has only been in the US since about 1910, kinda late for Irish immigrants. Below I put my great aunt's results (Grandfather's sister) so that gives you an idea of what his results would have been like. I think that reflects what a Cork person would get on 23andMe.

    My grandmothers side has been in the US longer and probably came during the famine. They are mostly Cork too but I have one great, great grandmother that was English. I think the native American my mom has, if that is correct, comes from that small, watered down English influence and perhaps that side of the family has been in the US a long time.
