Oh, no, there is certainly a resemblance between us all. I mean, whatever about the nationality or ethnic thing, there's definitely no such thing as a separate Irish or British 'race.' (My family's been living in the exact same spot in the Irish midlands for the last four hundred odd years, and I've still got Scottish and English ancestry within recent memory, Welsh a little further back, Viking further back again, and my surname is Norman French. So being all jumbled up is really kind of normal *g*) Even if JF's ancestry is entirely Irish (I have no idea how much of it is, actually, other than that his surname shows he must have some), the chances of his having a lot of English or Cornish or Scottish blood isn't exactly small.
