Ah delightful. Some of us are fortunate enough to trace our ancestral origins, even the minute details. Exhaustive research and several journeys to places both somewhat near and very far bore fruit in my own quest. Irish, German Jew, and later too Lakota—ship manifests, Bibles and diaries, graveyards, and even a parish priest and Presbyterian manse helped me piece together my heritage which included much oppression and persecution, and even murder (genocide). My Grandmother, Pauline Job, was invaluable for both her own family, and also my Father’s Irish Lakota family, as she knew them well from all living in Nashua, Montana for decades. Yes, from Clan O’hUaruisce of Kingdom Dal Riada in the 5th century, to Tribe Job of Biblical history, it has been an enlightening journey with my ancestors. }:- a.m.
