Was John F. Kennedy Irish

Answer 1

No. He was born in America. Some of his great grandparents were Irish, but left Ireland during the 19th century. Patrick Kennedy left Ireland in 1848. Thomas Fitzgerald left Ireland in 1854. Both settled in America and married Irish women there, and from then on their family is American. It is from those two of his great grandfathers that the "Fitzgerald Kennedy" part of JFK's name comes from.
