Iggy's Family Memoir

True Patriot Love: Four Generations in Search of Canada

It took the Ignatieffs four generations to find Canada, if they're not still looking.

My dad's gang found Canada 1st try, and they're all paddys from the Irish peat bogs. Nobody's asked us to lead the nation.

"mobody asked us the lead the nation"....ah, did they even try?

I've been doing my family genealogy and it's quite a journey. They were among the first settlers in Canada - but came up from the US, Mayflower people, etc. No one asked them either, but they didn't try either. We had one member who was a mayor for a small town.

If you don't try, you don't get a chance.
