My father came over here to Toronto with his family when he was 7. He was born in Caledon in county Tyrone. My brother and I were born and raised in Ontario and I moved out here to Alberta in 1997( to get away from a nasty ex-wife).

It be intresting 2 see if u still av family in tyrone, u probably have ,1 generation isnt that far removed. Thanks 4 da reply and i liked the you ended it. :-)

My "birth" maternal grandmother was a Rutley from Ireland - they have traced back well into the 1700's - however very little contact with them. Do know that us girls tend to be opinionated,stubborn, vivacious, are quick to laugh, have more red hair than not and can party hard! (to name a few of our "Irish" characteristics, we are told) I decided that perhaps I should not shoot Whiskey - cuz it does bring out the Irish in me! My other great gramma was a Morty, from ? in Ireland - they came to a "Pennsylvania Dutch" settlement in the Eastern States and then up to Canada. My sis and I have great plans to visit Ireland and our other root country - Scotland...someday

:-) yeah thats right, the men have to watch ye redheads alrite! Lol.x most irish women,esp when become mothers have them traits,but it is said the redheads in particular.x well as far as looks go i think you can beat redhead girls, a favourite of mine.x x lol x x as for 'Morty' I havent heard that name before, moreover, i believe that it is most like Moriarty ,like the sherlock holmes villian, and i can see that spelling coming from officals attempt to write it at the dock side when they first arrived, because it is more than like that they were not able to read and write, as it was a huge problem that time here in ireland among the poor and with the accent could of sounded like morty easily. Thats only a maybe , but Moriarty's can be found all over ireland but it originates in county Cork. It is a tought anyway. X x p.s i hope you make sure you leave plenty of redhead girls after you, make the world a better place! ;-)

Oh typo! I meant to say you CAN'T beat redheads for looks. X soz x

Well aren't you the young charmer I only have one with reddish hair - but hey all have the personality! Especially my oldest "Erin" - she is a challenge to say the least (for everyone)!

Ah sure a woman with a temper keeps things intresting! ;-) congrats on the kids and i really like the choice of name by da way. Lol.x
