You won't read any political commentary on this blog, but I will share the little bit I've seen about the ancestry of Donald Trump's running mate, Indiana Governor Michael Richard Pence. Pence's maternal grandparents were Irish immigrants. A 2010 IrishCentral article reported Pence's grandfather, Richard Michael Cawley, came through Ellis Island on April 11, 1923. Read the story here: www.irishcentral.com/news/irish-american-mike-pence-now-a-white-house-contender-103270594-237717181.html. Cawley emigrated to the U.S. from Tubercurry, County Sligo, and worked as a Chicago bus-driver. His grandson, Mike Pence, was named after him, and they were reportedly close. You can read an Irish Times article here: www.irishtimes.com/news/world/us/mike-pence-and-donald-trump-s-irish-connection-doonbeg-1.2720970. We'll certainly hear more over the next four months.
