♔ Oh! Thanks for checking back!
I never thought you'd reply! o.o Yay! Thank you!
I don't suppose you'd know where Egara's castle is?
He was the head of my family and Sligo many years ago.
That's where I thought I was headed, but I really just want a
quiet little village / town in Sligo.
I know some things in Sligo Town. They have a mighty sports team,
working on getting a athletics [glass] building, have a famous glass
hotel I'm planning on visiting soon, etc. Oh! And of course Queen Medb's
tomb is supposedly looking over Sligo Town? My Secondary School (I'm
taking American HighSchool, and Secondary homeschooling, lol!) text books
say that at least.
Just basic information would be heavenly until I come up with better. xD
( I'll check here every day. xD )

Cravez If your part Irish and Welsh, you would more than likely have strong Celtic connections. Tbh those people are just eejits, dont listen to them. Why should they care? (probably jealous biggrin ). I guess being called a Celt is a very old term to describe ones roots or whatever, usually people just state whether they are Irish, Welsh, Scottish etc in the modern age. Even though Irish, Welsh and Scottish have Celtic pasts and bloodlines the culture has developed differently (dancing, writing/literature, music etc) and thus influenced each differently. Personally, i think if you feel Ireland is your homeland, then by all means be Irish 3nodding Pretty much what Azyure has said is spot on (you live in Ireland Azyure?). Irish mentality is very laid back and as she said the Irish people 'like to poke fun' as in people like to have a laugh at themselves and others (sland being called 'craic'). If you want to experience Ireland for its more traditional views then yeah the west is best, albeit i wouldnt restrict to being just to that one spot. It's nice to vist all over, Dublin city has some sights (Book of Kells in Trinity College), Wicklow (where im from) has Glendalough, which is a fabulously preserved monastic settlement. Every county will have somthing that will entice you to go and have a look. And shes also right, we dont wear alot of green lol i completely agree!! and no we don't were alot of green!!: )

♔ Yeah! I got this one!
The whole duel citizenship should work out. I've been planning on a move
there in a couple years for sometime now.
And as far as I know, I can keep my current citizenship, and the new one.
It's only in America you can't keep any, but America's. . .
Egan is a fairly common last name. Correct statement. xD
Were you brought up in an Irish household?
And I've been called that too, lol. I used to have red hair, and I'm short.
My Da had red hair longer than I could keep mine, and he is short as well. Same nickname, lol! xDD
I hope I helped any. o.o
