Apparently Obama's Irish Descendants

United States President Barack Obama is scheduled Monday, May 23, 2011, will visit a small village in Ireland where his ancestors are believed to live. Obama's visit is also to break the various assumption that he is not a United States citizen.

Reporting from the pages of The Washington Post, the White House and the Irish government has scheduled a Monday Obama's visit to the village of Moneygall which is located about 28 kilometers from the capital of Ireland, Dublin. Short planned visit will take place on the sidelines of one week visit to European countries in order to increase cooperation.

Obama's ancestral genealogy of his mother's side started from a man named Fulmouth Kearney who lived in the village of Moneygall. Narrated in 1850, Kearney along with hundreds of people in the village exodus to the land of dreams, America, to change the fate or avoid the outbreak of famine caused by the death of millions of hectares of potato crops.

Together with 289 other passengers on the ship Marmion, Kearney arrived in New York on 20 March 1850. Kearney then worked as a farmer in Indiana, married and has 10 children.

One daughter, Mary Ann Kearney, Jacob William Dunham married and had children named Ralph Emerson Dunham. Child named Ralph Stanley Dunham was the father of Ann Dunham, Barack Obama's mother.

In the village of Moneygall, Obama has 28 relatives of the Kearney family tree. Some of Obama's distant cousin in the village is rumored to be delivering a speech of welcome.

The unfolding of Obama's roots in Irish genealogy break the conspiracy theory that says that Obama was not born in America. Some leaders in the U.S., one of them is Donald Trump, often booed Obama and demanding that showed deed says he was born in Hawaii.

"Two years I became president, there are still people who spread rumors about my home. So today, I want to stop all the rumors. It is true that my grandfather was Irish, precisely in Moneygall," Obama said at the celebration of St. Patrick March.
