No surpise you’re part Irish.wikkidpissah said:My folks are the story of America, semi-Caucasian division. Me Ma came over on the boat from Dun Laoghaire, Ireland in the late 1930s. Me Da's Norman-English tail-male ancestor landed in NH in 1630 to survey Northern New England for the Crown, married an Abenaki woman. When the survey team hooked themselves up to the surveyors working south from the St Lawrence River, Ancestor John took a parcel of 200 acres right there on what is now the Vt/Canada border as part of his pay and he and his wife's Indian family have worked that land since. We are presently hosting for Easter the cousin who still lives on the property - and just completed sugaring season on the same site that's been cooking maple sap for as long as there's been people to buy it - and i'm sure our more than 350-yr tenure makes the family farm one of the oldest continuously-owned properties in the nation.
Like yours I suspect, she was strict as hell when I was a kid, but I love her with every fiber of my being. I also ate crazy good food growing up.
