Man, I am one generation too removed.
I am as well.
Emigrate describes the action of people leaving their home country.
Immigrate describes the action of people entering their new country.
Right?
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yes, my mother was an immigrant. She emigrated from France.

I already married one of you, so that options gone, but all you need is one Irish grandparent
But, you have single friends that could marry us, right?

So: have you considered emigrating to Canada? Discuss. Canadians welcome to extol the virtues of their nation.
Yeah. On a semi-regular basis for most of my life.
I mean, I DO need to get all my paperwork in order, because looking at their citizenship information site, mine will still be valid if I get around to the filing part of it. But I no longer have a strong desire to move to the BC Interior, and Vancouver's expensive. Realistically, my time to have done it was a decade ago or more. So, you know. Pipe dream.

I'm another one who's a generation removed from Irish citizenship (maternal great-grandmother came from County Meade, so Mom can apply but not me).

I think it's both sad and funny that the likelihood of someone wanting to marry me for my French citizenship may now be greater than someone wanting to marry me for my American citizenship.

Jars, would you be available for giving some 'visiting Ireland (although not emigrating... my sister would KILL me and then move my dead body to New Zealand)' tips?
