ok, so this from the www....... Here they call him O'Bama.
Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, Democratic candidate for president, is the talk of this village because recently unearthed records indicate that he is a son of Moneygall.
"I've got pieces of everybody in me," Obama has acknowledged. (Orlin Wagner - AP)
Stephen Neill, a local Anglican rector, said church documents he has found, along with census, immigration and other records tracked down by U.S. genealogists, appear to show that Obama's great-great-great-grandfather, Fulmuth Kearney, was reared in Moneygall, then left for America in 1850, when he was 19.
this bit of immigration trivia thrills me to my very soul......as there was a time when such things would have been left unsaid......
