Applied last year for my 2 daughters and my mom on paper, during the interim session.

My paperwork was checked by a friend who is a grant writer and also got accepted for citizenship by descent.

My Great Grandfather was born in Walter Falls Ontario (a town his grandfather founded) in 1900 and naturalized to the US in 36. He would visit Canada every few years with family and took my mom and her sisters a few times. We keep in touch with Family on Victoria Island and Yukon. Several of these cousins have also came and visited Texas in my lifetime as well. So although it’s a few generations removed, we have a relationship.

I have had an “in progress” status since January 2026

What are my chances hearing back anytime soon?

I feel confident in the paper trail on my moms maiden name 1847 immigrated from Ireland to Ontario, and have documents going back further for the families they married into

Any advice is helpful

Recently found out my grandfathers family on his mother’s side was from this town called Clogher.

Can anyone tell me where Clogher is? I see Sligo, Donegal, County Leitrim.

I may be putting the wrong dots together here, but I think my Mom’s side of the family fled Ireland after 1798 rebellion. I know they were Presbyterians (because of the Canadian papers) and I 90% sure they were from county down. They came to Ontario, Canada sometime between 1797 and 1805, but I can nail down the exact date.

Does anyone know how many people self exiled or fled to other countries following the rebellion. I know many combatants were sent to Australia, but what about Canada?

This idea sparked in my head because I recently heard that Wolfe Tones was popular in county down.

Any info is much appreciated

No one makes khaki shorts anymore. As a millennial I grew up on some of the best most durable khakis the world has ever known. Seriously, I would would work as a landscaper on my college campus in my old pairs and they would still hold up to be considered “in dress code.” Recently went into vans, zumies, cotton on and Pacsun and only saw running shorts and baggy demin shorts. I know I’m getting old, but is this planned obsolescence?
