[Scott DeWar]

i am sending it to you now, however I am suprised you do not have my e-mail from all the banter from Leifcon '09

 

[J. Alexander]

Oh I am sure i do..just a strange habit of mine is that 99.9 percent of the time i don't add people to my address book etc until we have agreed to communicate that way etc....weird i know

 

[Leif]

If anyone still cares about this topic, my heritage is a weird mix of English by way of Canada, German, and Scots-Irish. What all that boils down to is that I'm your typical white dude from Arkansas.

I'm an Nth generation Yorkshire man, although I believe I have some Lincanshire blood from my mother's side. (Hangs head in shame)

In case you don't know, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are English counties.

 

[Scott DeWar]

now that, I actually knew! What I don't know is why you hang youur head in shame.(?)

and also for the record, my maternal grandfather has traced his roots to a family that received a land grant in virginia from King Georage.

 

[ghostcat]

Because, in my younger days, Yorkshire men were really proud of being from Yorkshire and Lincolnshire is not Yorkshire. Still its not has bad as been from Lancashire

(BTW. This is an Englishman's attempt at humour.)

 

[Neurotic]

I consider all of you with combination of English, Irish, Scot, Dutch etc...'pure' americans - combination of those of european descent two or three generations ago...

JA, I'll send you e-mail with corrections...also, did you by any chance work out who Randal brought to the Colony

 

[Scott DeWar]
