From Indonesia, moved to Holland and then came to US. His mother used to say that he was Irish and I didn't believe her but I found out on ancestry.com that DH's father's mother was Irish and from Australia. So LO is 'a wee bit Irish' after all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-irish#post-2497759 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 10:05:17 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2497759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all.

My great grandfather was from Ireland and my maiden name is Irish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-irish#post-2497450 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 07:41:41 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2497450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he is more Irish than anything else although my husband is a big mix of things. He never met his Irish grandfather so he doesn't really relate to that part of his heritage. My family is super Irish and LO has an Irish name so he'll be well aware of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-irish#post-2497434 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 07:24:11 +0000 Corduroy 2497434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're 1/8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-irish#post-2497432 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 07:20:51 +0000 MrsKoala 2497432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes 1/4.
