Best Answer

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.

No- he is either 100% Irish or 100 % American , depending on how you define Irish. All four of his grandparents were born in Massachusetts. All eight of his great-grand-parents were born in Ireland.
