The United States lost a remarkable leader this week with the passing of Ronald Reagan. He was a "man of the people." Unlike many U.S. Presidents, Reagan came from humble beginnings. His ancestors were working class people from Ireland, England, and Illinois.
Twenty years ago Ronald Reagan visited his ancestral home town. In June 1984, Reagan visited Ballyporeen, Ireland, to see documents that proved his great-grandfather, Michael Regan, had been born in a small hamlet in County Tipperary.
