My ancestors are from the Northern part of Ireland. Northern Ireland is a very small section of Ireland setting next to Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland is known for being the most violent part of Ireland with quite a lot of fighting between the Roman Catholic’s and the Nationalists.
The climate in Ireland is very mild it never gets to hot nor does it get to cold. December is usually the wettest month with about 76mm of total rain in the month. The summer months are not to worm but not to cool the temperature usually is around 68 F (20 C). Of cores you see the most sun in the summer months may through July.
