    My dad's ancestors were mostly from Northern Ireland and before that Scotland.

    My mom's ancestors mostly came from southern Ireland.

    I have the impression that my dad's ancestors did not treat my mom's ancestors very well by 2021 standards.

    I like the way that this article takes the topic back to the time of the Vikings to set the foundation for this idea.
