Coby, Unfair to tater eaters. The Irish side certainly explains the name and my hair color, but I am really a mutt. Grandpa Burke was definitely Irish, but his wife was Swedish, my maternal grandfather was English, and grandma on that side part English, part Cherokee. I think there is some other stuff in there, too. So the Irish don't get all the blame. I just wish they'd put in one ancestor who doesn't get a sunburn when caked in sunblock. <G> Actually, they must have, as my mother's twin used to tan like crazy. I didn't get any of that genetic material. I have the skin color of Casper.
