Hi! Thanks for stopping by and letting us know you enjoyed this one.
A survey taken in the US on where he was born might prove to amuse you, in that case. :- ) The provided link to more info (which offers info on a useful book) seems to be caught in a glitch but maybe they’ll get it straightened out soon.
I never heard anyone claim Patrick was Irish 🙂 There is no scholarly consensus on where he was born, but the most likely evidence points to either Wales or Scotland.
