I'M IRISH!!!!
I have always had a love for the Irish. I love the Boston Celtics, green is my favorite color, U2 is my favorite band, St. Patrick is my favorite Saint(can you have a favorite Saint?), Guiness is the only beer I have ever liked and I didn't even try beer until I was 25 yrs old, I like Celtic music, riverdance( how do they do that?), Celtic Crosses are rad and so is Celtic Christianity, and many more things I can't remember right now...but all things Irish. I have always thought, I must be Irish but everytime I try and figure out where my family comes from I never seem to make it to Ireland until today. I received an email from Ancestry.com saying that they have the records of all the Dudley's coming into the US. Here is the list:
Top Places of Origin for Dudley
Place of
Origin Dudley Immigrants
England 181
Ireland 64
Great Britain 27
Scotland 7
Ludley,United States of America 2
Britain 2
I realize that England leads by 117 but I just know in my gut that I come from one of those 64 Irish folks. So until someone proves me wrong...I'M IRISH!
