Irish/Puerto Rican question

There are several major issues related to the addition of the "Irish immigration to Puerto Rico " see also which can be cleared up by reading the target article and also reading/watching the relevent references.

Scotty McCreery himself is not an Irish immigrant to Puerto Rico. He was born in the United States, so he himself does not fit in that category.
His father was also not an Irish immigrant to Puerto Rico. His father was born there.
Neither of his fathers parents were Irish imigrants to Puerto Rico. His paternal grandfather was an American serviceman who was stationed in Puerto Rico during his military service, and his paternal grandmother was a native Puerto Rican, whose ancestry is not covered by any of the sources.

If anyone can identify, with a source, the member of Scotty McCreery's family that immigrated directly from Ireland to Puerto Rico (which is what the article itself is about) with source that identifies that, that's great. The fact that a) Scotty has an Irish-sounding last name (is it Irish or Scottish or Scotch-Irish? Do you have sources to verify which?!?) and b) His father was born in Puerto Rico does not mean any part of his family is confirmed to be Irish immigrants to Puerto Rico. Please stop adding unverified things to WP:BLPs. Its against the rules. --Jayron32 04:11, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
