too funny NOT to share Posted by Old Grey on 10/4/2006, 4:43 pm 70.177.248.149 Life was sooooooo less complicated before my wife started dabbling in geneaology. All my life (remember, longer than almost any two of the regulars here combined, Tass excluded) I have believed family lore that my father was of German-Jew heritage and mother was some English and a little Scotch-Irish. Okay, so we have found out that maternally, I'm mainly English, with a small bit of Irish. Must have been more than a "wee" bit, cause the Celtic is coming out strong in me lately. But here's the hoot: It seems that my father's family is mostly English from as far back as we can reasonably be certain, with a strong possibility of deeper ties to a region (long ago and far away) in Gaul populated by . . . (drum roll) . . . Visigoths. Well, I'll be darned. Looks like I'm a "goth" after all. Old Grey (Visi)Goth and proud of it!
