Mine escaped the potato famine in Ireland.

he was given the choice to return to Europe or stay ... he stayed ... and I get to speak English I know how you feel. If it hadn't been for the revocation of the Edict Of Nantes, Catholics declaring open season on protestants, I'd be speaking French right now.
