I'm 50% Irish from my mother's side. Her roots can be traced back to the early 1500's. I actually have a scroll of all the clans and the clan names and their terroritories in Ireland around this time. Although my bloodline clan wasn't elite, their name and a crest are shown to be in Northern Ireland.
My father was born in Germany, but I don't know how far his roots can be traced, we've never really tried, but maybe it's time?!?!
