>parents tell me growing up I have mostly Irish ancestry
>both my parent's have English surnames

How could this be? Were they lying to me?

The Irish, like a lot of other immigrants, anglicized their names. Sometimes they chose to do it, other times it was imposed on them against their will.

Oh yeah, what are the names ?

Likely. Get a DNA test, and ask your parents to get one for them as well.

I did, and it was amazing to see the bullshit which had been spread down. DNA doesn't lie. Dad told me this fucking fable about how our last name is German; turns out we've got ZERO German blood in us. We're Scottish / Irish. All of us, and my mother has a bit of Scandinavian in her. That's it.

Families tell bullshit stories.

My last name is Wright. Don't want to give the other but when I look it up on Google it says it comes from Anglo Saxon tribes that settled in England around the 5th century.

Well that could easily be an Irish name, the internet tells me it's English, Scottish or northern Irish.
