My dad, circa 1922

My dad told us that because his mother dressed him like this he got into a lot of school yard fights.  He was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and was quite the scrapper.  He was an amazing man and traveled far in his life.  I recently did my DNA through Ancestry.com and found that I am 42% Irish (my dad's side), 32% English (my mom), 13% Western European and 7% Scandinavian.  I just found out online today that my great grandfather was born in Ireland.  Yesterday a 3rd or 4th cousin got in touch with me.  It's pretty fascinating.
