[lonewolf]

Sir Alexander Bustamante, National Hero and first Prime Minister of Jamaica, used to boast that he was 50 per cent Irish, 50 per cent Jamaican and 10 per cent Arawak. Well known for hishumorous nature, charm and charisma, 'Busta' as he is affectionately known, was clearly touched by Ireland's blarney stone * he had the gift of gab, so to speak.

Dis just cyan be true because I have been told I am a liar claim similar taino ancestry by Jamaicans .com.. So busta a liad... So the verasity of the entire passage and book is in doubt...

Wahalla, you would be surprised of how many supposed Irish americans do not know of the Irish/Jamaican story.

Many firemen across the US claim Irish ancestry, but don't know Irish history.
