Garland's parents were Francis Avent Gumm and Ethel Marian Milne. Judy was of Irish/Scottish ancestry, with her earliest recorded maternal ancestor a Patrick Fitzpatrick, who was born in County Meath and arrived in America in the 1750s. Her maternal great-grandmother was Mary Elizabeth Harriott born in Dublin, Ireland, in December of 1841. Her Milne ancestors hailed from Arbroath and Kilmarnock, Scotland. Her paternal Gumm ancestors were a mixture of English, Irish, and Scottish, and were among the earliest settlers of Virginia and Tennessee. The Irish American St. Patrick's Day anthem "It's a Great Day for the Irish" was written especially for her and was one of her greatest hits. She recorded other Irish songs including: "Danny Boy," "The Wearing of the Green," and "A Pretty Girl Milking her Cow."
