No. Other than the fact that some of them were Irish and others English.

Yes. That's why French is my first language and English is my second. When my parents married and I was born, we lived with my maternal great-grand-parents' upstairs apartment and there was no English spoken in the household, just French.
My parents then moved in with my paternal grandparents until we could move out (who lived upstairs in the same duplex) for 2 years, so I was trilingual sort of right out of the gate pretty much. I was so fortunate, they were so loving and so caring, very patient. Then when my great-grandparents died, and funny thing was they spoke German and Polish so I got a well-rounded linguistic background for the first several years of my life.
The only English they all spoke was when they were at work. They all came to America to open up a business, make homes for themselves and become true Americans and loved being so with pride.

I've reached my mother's side back to the 1500s, dad's to the 1700s.
