ooh such an interesting thread!!
my father is from County Mayo, Ireland and came here in the very late 50's (funny sidenote: my father's father apparently came to America for a little while but he didn't like it so he went back to Ireland)
my mother's father was from Madrid, Spain
my mother's mother's parents were both from the same part of Sicily and their families had known each other but they had immigrated here separately with their families when my great grandmother was a baby and when my great grandfather was in his teens.
