Is it true that Obama is part Irish?

i heard something about that his mom is part irish. is that true, or just a rumor?



Yes. His mom has Irish heritage and so Obama also has some Irish blood in him too.




He%26#039;s an Offaly man.





His earliest known relative, his 6th great grandfather Joseph Kearney, was a member of a Dublin family of wealthy wig makers who included an Irish politician, Michael Kearney. Joseph moved to Shinrone and married a woman from Moneygall called Sarah Healy in 1760.





Joseph great-great-great-grandson was Fulmouth Kearney. He was a farmhand from Moneygall who emigrated to the US in 1850. He settled in Ohio and later married, having eight children. One of his daughters Mary Ann, (Obama grandmother who died on Monday) married a man called Dunham and gave birth to a girl named Ann.





Hence the O%26#039;Bama.




Obama is also related to 29 Presidents of the United States, so chances are he has some Irish ancestry.




I don%26#039;t rightly know, But, His mom is an U.S. White, n%26#039; I%26#039;ve heard that 40% of U.S. whites have some Irish ancestry.





Cheers.




I%26#039;ve heard he may also be part American.




yeah he made that comment during the party elections




Yes, he is part Irish.




It is true
