And my brother did as well.

His YDNA testing showed our direct male line is ancient Irish,
the aboriginal tribe on the island, pre Druid, pre Celtic.
There is only a small group of these descendants today.

Most Irish today are the newcomers, my family was throwing
rocks at them as they arrived!

Yes my grandmother talking about the Irish myths,
leprechauns, etc. gave me an appreciation of mythology,
other ways of thinking, etc. My grandmother really believed
all of this. Oh yes I think there is much outside our standard
way of thinking.
