But, you couldn’t be... you’d be a “white Hispanic” LOL an Iberian Celt.
Insofar as you would be an Irish immigrant, back when “no Irish need apply” white hispanic or otherwise... again LOL (tongue not too firmly in cheek) and discriminated against because of ...religion? Not those who escaped the Ulster Plantation (Irish and Scots Presbyterians). Politics disgusting.
Obviously reparations are in order. My ancestors were discriminated against, and I have a right to all the money they would have made, plus interest.
I think the signs said no “Micks.” Ever notice the similarity to the Hispanic slur? Coincidence? I think not. ;)

Very interesting.
That is very interesting-to the best of my knowledge, I’ve no Irish or Scottish ancestors. However-my Spanish ancestors came from the Pyrenees, and were Basques-many of us still carry the original surname of those who came to the New World in the 1500’s from that part of Spain.
By the late 1700’s, most of the family had mated and married with settlers from other areas of Spain, Native Americans, moved to south Texas, and then intermarried with a couple of Creoles from Louisiana, a West Prussian or two in the early 1800’s...
And after all that mixing, dark red hair, gray/green eyes with lighter skin is still fairly common in my family (I have that look.) If the information in this article is correct, then those original genes are some powerful ones to have that kind of staying power...
The historical tradition expressed by the Scots in 1320 in the Declaration of Arbroath is often regarded as fiction but may very well be more factual than suspected.
“They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today. The Britons they first drove out, the Picts they utterly destroyed, and, even though very often assailed by the Norwegians, the Danes and the English, they took possession of that home with many victories and untold efforts; and, as the historians of old time bear witness, they have held it free of all bondage ever since...”
“... It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom — for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.”
Wellnow. That means that my long-standing answer to the question of “what is you ancestry?” is more right than I knew: The answer? Genetic mongrel.
Since my genealogy goes WAY back, and covers all areas of Europe, Asia and Africa, I have the right to say the word...mongrel...and be proud!
I have a copy of a Skandinavens Almanak of Kalendar 1925,in which is recorded the genealogy of George Washington, traced for 33 generations back to Thrond Haraldson, king of Throndheim in Norway, born ca, 661.
The line leads through the Orkney Islands ca. ninth century, to Yorkshire in northern England ca, 1030-35, and to America in the person of Col. John Washington in 1659.
Hibernians, Iberians, not much diff....
BFL
Many washed up in Ireland from Spain’s “Invincible Armada”.
Almost all who got ashore were killed.
Outstanding...I’m now officially a victim.I’ll be at the ObamaPhone Multi Service Community Center at 8AM Monday morning.
This has been known for decades; Robert Graves wrote about it.
Yes. And they also play bagpipes.
Bagpipes, only a people like the once-ultra conservative Scots, would be so keen about preserving shrill irritating to the ear bagpipes! Far as I can tell, they are the only people and their Hibernerian kin the Irish and Iberian Spanish) on earth who play them, and make such a big deal of them.
I have tried to trace the origin of bagpipes, so far, I have not been successful. It would solve the issue of their true origin.
“Their” true origin. What I meant was if we knew from whence came the bagpipes we would know the true origin of the Scots and Hibernerian types.
