Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Saturday Birthdays!!   This is a special Saturday, St. Patrick's Day!  One of the Holinka ancestors, Patrick Minnehan, was born on March 17, 1834 in County Limerick, Ireland!!  His wife, Johanna Scully, and their daughters, Margaret (Maggie)and Hattie were also born in Ireland!  Maggie married Patrick Gormally whose
parents Michael Gormally and Anne McGee Gormally were Irish-born also.

Troudt Irish ancestors:  Frances Rennick was born in Enniskillen, County Fermanaugh, Ireland in 1819.  His family moved to Canada and then to Toulon, Stark Co, Illinois.

It's great to have Irish ancestors so we can celebrate St. Patrick's Day because we are Irish....not because we want to be Irish!!
