Today is St. Patrick's Day - and also my maternal grandfather's birthday. He was born in Wisconsin in 1870 - just a few months after his parents came over from Germany. I guess his only observance of his St. Patrick's Day birthday was his marriage to a woman born in Ireland!
I think that most of their six children resembled their father, so the Irish looks were somewhat diminished, but the resulting combination produced 5 striking daughters and 1 son. A handsome man!
