Father's Day: Tracing Irish origins by name


Black standup comedian Ali Siddiq breaks it down

Having an Irish dad is a treat, not necessarily a good one all the time, but it can feel like a crack (craik). Father's Day is celebrated around the world and probably began in the US, thanks to our lively card trade. Thanks, Hallmark. But many, many Americans are part of the Irish diaspora.

(Jimmy Kimmel Live) June 17, 2024: Tonight is game five of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks, ESPN gave some baseball players a chance to pay tribute to their Dads during the Red Sox and Yankees game, Pres. Biden and Trump both sent wishes for Father’s Day to their followers, Trump traveled to Detroit this weekend for the launch of his Black Americans for Trump coalition, he riffed on water pressure and dishwashers, and the show heads out to Hollywood Bl. to see how much dads know about their kids. #Kimmel


What Irish clan do I belong to?
(Diane Jennings) A lot of people have Irish ancestry, but has anyone ever wondered where in Ireland a family came from and what Irish ancestors might have done for a living? From Mayo to Dublin, there are ways to translate an American, British, even Welsh surname to track them through ancestors' pasts in Britain and Ireland and on to the United States and find out "What Irish clan do I belong to?" What does a surname mean? Be a lovely weirdo and get more bloopers, behind the scenes content, influence videos, and more. dianejennings #irishamerican #ireland #clan
