» cestes - Black Irish


Thank you so much for the article on Black Irish/Dutch and the reference to the site at http://www.suite101.com/external_link.cf... My gramma always said we were Black Irish and that meant we were of Native American descent and I always wondered if she were right, she was dark skinned, eye and hair. Whether it is an actual term used by the folks in Ireland or not or whether it's even actually Irish doesn't matter, it shows there is something to the Indian angle and that they actually did use this terminology, that makes it a real deal because it has become an actual term to denote the ethnicity.
This helps settle the curiosity. Thank you again!!
