JD Vance’s Irish ancestry claim hits a genealogical dead end
DUP-commissioned report fails to find a link between JD Vance — a self-declared Scots-Irish — and Ireland.

Cumberland is a district council in Cumbria.
This is the thing about fascists that's hard for normal people to understand. They feel compelled to lie even about innocuous shit that doesn't even matter. They are allergic to truth.
Keep rubbing JD, let us know when you're part Uzbecki.
That's about as folksy as a Cracker Barrel, how could everyone miss that?
Oh shit, she might have to question her assumed Irish heritage now.
I’m sure there are a select few, but I never knew Vance had a venture capital background and so I thought to myself “this all makes so much more sense!” when I read that.
Vance is a fake, but this is a weird thing to object to as fake.
This dude is now trying to Forest Gump himself into history isn’t he?
Let me guess, he also claims direct relations to the Lincoln assasination?
1) J D Vance
2) The Dover Oak Tree in the blue ridge valley
3) WWE legend Cody Rhodes (from North Carolina)
4) The John Denver song "Country Roads"
Realising 1,2 & 3 also spell out 4 🤣
Thank you everybody. I'll see myself out now. 😁
(I'm so sorry, I had to)
Imagine selling your soul to attain VPOTUS, & yet the whole world just keeps laughing at you!

Hopefully the Pope reminded him to go to confession regularly. Given Vance's record, it'll be a full time job for a priest.
"He was born James Donald Bowman in Middletown, Ohio, on Aug. 2, 1984, his middle and last names the same as his biological father, Donald Bowman."

Doesn’t matter what his mutt genealogy says.
......
......
....all right, well, do we give Scotland a go? Maybe he's from there?
(I'm going to be really amused if his great grandparents went to, like, Eton college and managed to slide their way *down* the social class ladder before emigrating to the US)
Does that mean we (in the U.S.) have to keep him?
This is why we have to be speaking out now, calling our Senators about the SAVE act and peacefully protesting - while we still can.
And thus will be JD’s downfall.
🤣😂🤣😂
Trevelyn’s Spawn??
Cromwell’s Spaff??
These are all appropriate names for any bigot the Dumb Ulster Party wants to adopt.

Immigrants didn’t just build this country in the past, they’re building it right now.
Plus they like to play grievance at being discriminated against as if indentured=enslaved

"In his memoir Vance said that, rather than identifying with “white Anglo-Saxon Protestant” pioneers, he felt instead part of “the millions of working-class white Americans of Scots-Irish descent who have no college degree”."

Does he have significant Irish heritage. Yes, unlike J.D. Vance.
Can we disown him, too?
He is a humorless bastard, and a thoroughly nasty man. I could have told you he had not a drop of Irish blood, just knowing that.
This dude is VP and is just finding this out now???
"your parents fucked here. Big whoop" - Bill Hicks.
But surprisingly, a lot families don't know where they come from. It's a lot of "family lore," which can often be little more than wish fulfillment that somehow becomes "fact" with time.
How far back one can go really depends a lot on the color of your skin but possibly even more about where ancestors lived around the Civil War. I'm from the South, we can't trace to before the war. My husband is from the north and goes back to 1200s 🤷🏻♀️
IF Vance was told repeatedly as a child he was part Irish and it's not accurate, I don't blame Vance for this. Just admit that is what you were always told by family and had no reason to disbelieve it until recently.
Also, the Scots-Irish thing sounds Irish, but in reality (from what I understand) it's the worst of the Scots and not at all Irish. Scots-Irish people were/are the Boers of the North Atlantic.
Diaspora Dutch are *the worst*. SW Michigan, NW Iowa, the Central Valley and SoCal Milkshed: just NOPE NOPE NOPE.
The best genealogy source is the the Latter Day churge
they have a surprising amount of records tracing families back to at least the 15th century .
It ws how my stepmother traced back my dad's family
back to the 2nd Marblehead Contingency
He was a Wet Back
So we can give him a demeaning Irish nickname and refer to him by that forevermore??? Or maybe “Irish Pocahontas”?
Do not commission an inquiry into JD Vance’s Welsh roots
Diolch o galon
That’s the motto of this “administration.”
My mystery DNA is Nordic. Parents both from PA!
"We can't trace ancestors back further than 1800s Virginia" doesn't preclude Ulster Scots ancestry, those people immigrated in 18th century
Amazing.

Plus that nicely hides their own agency in the plantations. Same for the Empire.
👀 will not bail them out but wants to flaunt that he thinks he is somehow connected to europe?
with friends like this.....
Green != Orange.

Though I feel like a lot of people have bits of family lore that they just take at face value and don't really look into. (I think that's probably what happened with Warren too)
Out of the many untruths he's told, I would count this as one of the more understandable ones.
Case and point.
My mostly white father says he's Native American because his grandfather said they were. My father is a racist MAGA and says he can't be racist because he's Native.
Plot Twist: GGF was actually part Afro-Latino not Native.
