Lucky You--You're Irish!





At least one branch of the Greer family tree comes from Ireland (there could be more--the Lacy line in particular needs some more research done to find out their country of origin). Harris Greer's fifth great grandparents, Thomas and Rachael Sarah Morton Greer, were both born in County Armagh in Northern Ireland. Thomas' grandparents moved to Ireland from Scotland in the late 1600's, but Sarah's line goes further back in Ireland.

County Armagh is where St. Patrick established his first church in Ireland--so you have extra reason to celebrate! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
