Do you know what your history is?...Thanks, Rebecca. Do you know what your history is? I'd love to hear about it!<br /><br />Supriya, yeah, that fighting spirit definitely comes from both sides. And please, while you're bowing you can scrub that mark on the floor.<br /><br />Patricia, it sounds like you have a very strong connection. That's interesting!<br /><br />Heidi, definitely no scrubbing of floors around here anymore. I'm embracing my inner royal. You know, that is a very good point about my wanderlust -- it IS in the blood! I'm not sure about the Aussie side but I do believe we weren't convicts (not everyone who arrived in from England were criminals!). Although I just found this out (google is my friend) and it looks like we also have links to the Russian Czar!

Wow. It sounds like you have great knowledge of your family history. It's so interesting!Alli Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363202163419352155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-18704291327769157682012-01-24T15:21:21.086-05:002012-01-24T15:21:21.086-05:00Very nice post, Countess Sinclair. I have a Swedis...Very nice post, Countess Sinclair. I have a Swedish Baron in the line, but I'm told that it's not a hereditary title in Sweden. I'm a mutt, too, Swedish, Welch, German, Scots-Irish, English, a bit of Native American but don't know what tribe. And my children can add Polish and Austrian. It was a thrill, on a visit to Sweden, to have a friend of a friend trace the Swedish side back to the 1700s and take us to some sites where my family lived. I can also trace the English side to the Revolutionary War in the US. Those are the people who ended up as hillbillies in the Ozarks. I love this sort of stuff! My German side went to Ireland in the 1700s, intermarried, and came over during the potato famine.Kaye Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596677617002735674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-12300204100945795282012-01-24T10:28:49.977-05:002012-01-24T10:28:49.977-05:00Ooh, good question, Heidi!Ooh, good question, Heidi!Supriya Savkoorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10854983392374596718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-36094626273751656232012-01-24T10:19:39.478-05:002012-01-24T10:19:39.478-05:00Countess Alli, oh my!

Does this mean we can't make you scrub floors around here anymore? :)<br /><br />With all those Vikings and Templars in your past, I can see where your wanderlust comes from. Do you know how your family ended up in Australia and how long ago? I'm fascinated by immigrant stories.Heidi Noroozyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351899620446316075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-52303578644533803572012-01-24T08:20:04.181-05:002012-01-24T08:20:04.181-05:00My mother is the genealogist in my family.

I've never set foot in Ireland, except for a brief detour to the Shannon airport many years ago. Yet, I too, respond to the lilt of the accent and the music. Although, if truth be told, that music permeates the Tennessee hills where I grew up.Patricia Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095600674659292509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-78096022431223714712012-01-24T08:19:22.668-05:002012-01-24T08:19:22.668-05:00So that's where you get all your fighting spir...So that's where you get all your fighting spirit, huh?
