My heritage is Irish, although no one in my immediate family came from there. My ancestors came to America in 1852. I found a cool link that I have been researching that explains a lot of customs from Ireland. One that I have known about for awhile and that is the Claddagh Ring. I have one of these and they are supposed to be worn a certain way: the heart pointing out if you are single and the heart pointing in if you are taken.
