Origin of the Irish

No. 645. Origin of the Irish.

Of what descent, or, in other words, what nationality, did the Irish, pagan or papal, spring from? It must be before 753 B.C.
Why before B.C. 753? They are a branch of the Japhetic family, probably through Gomer. Gen. 6:3. They are of the Aryan race, of which the Germans, Celts, Gaelic, Cymric, are branches. The Irish are Celts. The Highland Scotch, Gaelic. The Welsh, Cymric. The Irish were once pagans even as were the English. They are not necessarily papal.
