Happy Saint Patrick's Day! (A day late, I know.)
I hope everyone had a good Saint Patrick's Day and that they didn't get into too much trouble. I would love to hear stories, though, if anyone has them. I spent mine in class, doing some schoolwork, and sleeping because I didn't get any the night before, but I did have a Guinness and wore my Dublin United hoodie to express my Irish heritage. Unfortunately, I could not, for the life of me, find my green t-shirt that has two shamrocks on it and says "Dublin Vision", but I did have my Dropkick Murphys tee that says "Shamrock and Roll". One of my professors questioned me on whether I was actually Irish. It's not my fault I'm a dirty blonde. Not all of us can be redheads. I am part English and part Cherokee Indian, as well. Who knows what the rest of my heritage is.
Which brings me to this: Does anyone know of a computer program that can organize a massive and very confusing family tree? I have been trying to put one together since I was 15, so it's been about six years. The sad thing is that I still can't get past my grandparents when it comes to full names and birth/death dates. I have been able to get some stories about my great-grandparents and a few tit-bits about my great-great-grandparents (the heritage), but I keep getting stonewalled by the older members of my family. They act like I shouldn't be bothering with it and they don't talk to me. This will be the fourth time I have made an attempt to put together a family tree and this time I'm not going to let anything stop me. I think that if I can get the birth/death dates and full names I can maybe do some research to go from there.
It's going to take a long time. Especially since it's my third huge project and I have many minor projects, as well. I know that, but I have to try.
Have some vids in celebration:
