Continuing with the theme of being grateful for the various ethnicities
that make up who I am, I am also grateful to be Irish. My 3rd Great
Grandparents Robert Burrows and Margaret Henderson were both born in Ireland
and came to Scotland with their families. Both came from Co. Tyrone, part of
present day Northern Ireland. So far my genealogy research ends at both of their
parents who were also born in Ireland. However, I think that with the exception
of one ancestor, the others families somewhere back came to Ireland from either
Scotland or England. However, I will claim the Irish heritage, particularly on
St. Patrick’s Day. When I see the colour green, clovers and rainbows, I think
of Ireland. When I hear of leprechauns or a pot of gold I think of Ireland. I hope
to learn more about my ancestry in Ireland and would love to visit someday!
