St. Patrick's Day is celebrated as an Irish holiday. I normally identify myself of Scottish ancestry, since Stewart is a traditionally Scottish name. However, my great-great-great-grandfather (+/- a couple of greats), James Stewart, immigrated to Ontario, Canada back in the 1800's. I don't know much about him, other than he was married at some time before that in Ireland to Hannah Carey (or Carney). So at some point in the not too distant past one of my ancestors lived in Ireland. Which, in turn, would make me at least a little bit Irish.
Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone!
