This is a good question. My Dad said we were Dutch Irish. From what i have read and heard, here is what I know.

The Dutch Irish were actually Scots Irish immigrants, who came to the new world through Philadelphia. They eventually settled in Pennsylvania Dutch Country....hence, Dutch Irish. Some were indentured servants. After earning their freedom or just leaving, they settled in the central and southern mountains of Appalachia.

While I grew up in Detroit, my folks grew up in the Western NC mountains.

Well, honey, Dutch-Irish descent means someone has ancestors from both the Netherlands and Ireland. So basically, they've got a mix of Dutch and Irish blood running through their veins. It's like having a genetic cocktail of windmills and shamrocks. Cheers to that unique heritage!

Oh, dude, Dutch-Irish descent just means you have ancestors from both the Netherlands and Ireland. It's like having a genetic mixtape of tulips and shamrocks. So, basically, you might have a love for wooden shoes and a knack for storytelling while enjoying a pint of Guinness.
