Family History

Chapter 1: Family
It was 1988 and Maria's school asked children to bring in old family photos.

"Grandpa?, do you have any family photos?, It's for school." She asked him.

Mikey stood up.

"I thought you would never ask." Mikey said.

Mikey got up from his chair.

"In my room Maria." He said.

Maria entered the room.

"Okay, We'll start with my parents, My dad was Irish and my mom was English, so you are half Japanese, quarter Irish and quarter English." He told her.

He showed them a photo of them.

"This photo was taken in 1924, their wedding day." Mikey said.

She was then shown a photo of two men and a woman.

"This was your great-great-uncles, Ailin and Liam and great-great grandma Caohmie, this was them in 1905, Ailin was 18 and Liam 17, their older sister, My grandmother, was 28, She was 42 when Ailin died, and 44 when Liam died, They were in the IRA." He said.

And he noticed the girl's expression.

"Not that IRA, my dear girl."
