As said in the description of the 18th Edition of the Carnival of Irish Heritage & Culture: "On the feast of St. Patrick, everyone likes to be Irish, at least for one day".Well I finally came across our first documented ancestor from Ireland - so now at least my husband and children can celebrate the day with a happy jig without feeling like a poser!
Jig: a form of lively folk dance most associated with Irish & Scottish country dance music.
And where did I find this little piece of ancestral history? At the PRDH while deep into researching our French-Canadian lines!
Voila:

What a great find, just in time for St. Patrick's Day.
