I believe there is an innate need of mankind for mystery, magic, and the like. For instance, what became of the Tuatha De Danaan? Virtually all legends and myths have some basis in reality.

His full name (including the Argentine tradition of adding the mothers maiden name) was Ernesto Guevara de la Serna. It was his father who was Guevara Lynch. It was Che's parternal grandmother who was Irish. You’ve got it slightly wrong with Ernesto Guevara.

There was a large influx of Irish peoples to the island in the mid-1600s. There influence is evident in the naming of several Parishes (Like LA) and townships in Jamaica; There's St. Andrew's Irish Town, St. Mary's Kildare and Clonmel and St. Thomas' Belfast and Middleton among others. Many Jamaicans can trace their linneage back to Irish families and even royalty. I my self am partially descnded from the McLaughlins.

He did not consider himself Irish but Latin American. His father was not Ernest, but Ernesto. Six generations separated Che Guevara from his ancestor Patrick Lynch (b. 1715) of Lydican Castle, County Galway (not Co. Cork), who arrived in Buenos Aires in 1749 and established a successful merchant business.
