GUEST,Annegi | Folklore: Black Irish: Etymological Consensus? (149* d) | RE: Folklore: Black Irish: Etymological Consensus? | 04 Dec 03 |
My grandfather cam fromConnemara and it was always thought in my family that the term came from the Spaniards, part the Armada, shipwrecked on their journey home - going round the west of Ireland. A name in our family is De Lapp was said to have derived from these ancestors. All of our family are the black haired variety! |
