I've been toying with how to write this out as it can potentially become bogged down with sources and words, writing on a cell phone can be very problematic when writing long posts.
So I set out to make this as simple as possible, I have been researching Ryan Moody's family tree, I didnt do this as a hate search, he has a genuinley very interesting family.
A aunt in legal disbutes with her ex, a cousin doing good for his local community, WW2 veterans, American Civil War soldiers, heck even veterans of the 1812 war against us filthy Brits.
I had fun and I tasked myself with proving Gorlic Bread is a liar about being Irish. Have I proven it?
Yes and no, and here is the very basic diagram that shows Ryan Moody's nearest Irish acestors. Yes I initially found zero but in my final research before uploading this post, what do ya know ... those darn Irish peeps showed up out of nowhere.
Doesn't that always happen?
No hate to the Irish, my kin hail from Kilkenny and Dublin.

William Joseph Smith and Elizabeth were according to their census records in Maryland both born in Ireland, there is no specific location given for them and nor is there any information on parents.
Both were born in circa 1826 they seemed to have emigrated to America in their youth, a marriage was a little more tricky, the curse of such common names, but they had their first child in Maryland in abt 1861.
Given this information I can confirm that one set of Moody's great, great, great Grandparents were Irish.
Now I'd also like to say that Moody has far more German roots than he does Irish, he has more English, he even has some Welsh thrown in there for good measure.
So the debate is this, does having one set of 3x great grandparents who are Irish, make Moody Irish when he was born in the US?
If the answer is yes, we must also call him German, and I'm sure those jokes will offend even more people.
My point is this, my great, great, great Grandmother was Scottish, does that mean I can throw on the family tartan, roam the Highlands with a bottle of whiskey in one hand, a map for the Loch Ness monster in my other hand and call myself Scottish even though I wasn't born there, have never lived there and have no connection to the land or culture?
The answer is no.
This is insanity.
It's why those white people are mocked so much who find one black ancestor, or Native American and they suddenly start identifying as that demographic, it's ludicrous and should be no less unacceptable when it's the Irish.
Heck there is a whole war going on over on Tik Tok between the actual Irish and Americans of some Irish descent, who arrogantly claim they are more Irish than the Irish.
The Irish are very pissed at these people.
Moody has a small amount of Irish roots, but he is American and looks like a damn leprechaun ffs!
This an undeniable fact!
A more important question is this, I've been going back over old livestreams on Kimmikazi and Kya's channels, Kristina Latina was close with both and they sent each other things in the mail.
What address did Kristina give?
