This is my great, great-grandfather ( paternal side) John Doyle and great, great-grandmother Catherine O’ Day Doyle. John was born in Ireland in 1834, while Catherine was born in Vermont in 1844. John immigrated to the United States, landing in New York when he was twenty years old. Many thanks to my second cousin Colleen King for family history and pictures! ❤
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind always be at your back,
May the sunshine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields,
and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
– an old Irish blessing
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Wishing you many blessings!
All My Best,
Heart and Soul ❤

Great photo – having moved not too long ago I had the chance to go through all the old pictures I have. I am part Irish on my Dad’s side 🙂

Yes it is – still waiting for my DNA results. I know my family came from England/Scotland/Ireland so it will be interesting to see exactly what my background is.
