Irish Home of Biden’s Great-Great-Great Grandfather Cheers His Victory.
He may be five generations removed, but the president-elect is a hometown boy in Ballina, Ireland.
Pride in Mr. Biden is strong in Ballina. His great-great-great grandfather Edward Blewitt was born in Ballina and emigrated to Scranton, Pa., just after the great Irish famine of 1845 to 1849, according to historians.
