附原文1：10 U.S. presidents had Irish ancestors （10位美国总统有爱尔兰祖先）
Friday, March 17, 2000
By Ann McFeatters, Post-Gazette National Bureau
WASHINGTON -- When President Clinton partied into the night at the annual American Ireland Fund dinner last night, it wasn't just because he was receiving the Millennium Peace Award. Like millions of other Americans, he has grown to love celebrating his own heritage in preparation for St. Patrick's Day today.
Since he has been in office, Clinton has discovered that he has Irish roots -- one reason, he says, he has sought to promote the Northern Ireland peace accords with intensity. He is one of 10 U.S. presidents -- almost one-fourth of them -- who have had an Irish heritage.
According to Gary Boyd Roberts, author of "Ancestors of American Presidents," "American Ancestors and Cousins of the Princess of Wales" and two volumes called "Notable Kin," two of Clinton's great-great grandparents -- the parents of his great-grandmother, Hattie Hayes -- were born in Ireland.

Boasts about Roslea Photo
Washington, D.C., March 18, 1998 -- President Clinton is all excited about having a photo of his family's original residence in Roslea. "I have a photo of the house in Roslea," he told Kinawley-born Fr. Sean McManus.
Fr. McManus spoke with President Clinton at the St. Patrick's Day Luncheon on Capitol Hill, hosted by the Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich.
"The president was all excited about the photo," said Fr. McManus. "I reminded him that Cassidy -- his mother's name -- is a Fermanagh name, and that Fermanagh was claiming him as one of their own. He was very happy to be so claimed. He is clearly delighted with his Irish roots."
