I Am Part Irish

So last year I did a post about being 1/4 Cherokee. It turns out that I'm not (should have not taken my grandmother's word on this lol.) I had two family members one on each side do the DNA thing and there is ZERO Native American. There is however much more of something I never knew, and that is a huge chunk of Irish from both my parents. 65% Irish/Celt from my dad and 52% from my mom. (There's also a bit of German, Welsh, and Swedish in there) so there you have it. I'm mostly Irish and can now celebrate St. Paddy's Dad with true roots. (Last part was meant to be funny.) It's interesting to find out that I am way more Irish than I ever thought. My dads family was traced back to mid 1600's. Subsequently I removed my post about being Cherokee. It's disappointing but very cool to be a Celt!:)

I am noticing that a lot of Irish people have a thin upper lip. I have thin lips and wonder if that is why. Any other Irish here with thinner lips, esp the upper?

@ravenwind43 If I shave my mustache off I get accused of not having an upper lip. ☺️
