Hats with corks on the end of strings?My wife's into that stuff. I can't be bothered really but evidently I am an all-sorts: Irish, Cornish, French, Bulgarian (Celtic and Slav), Great Great (something or other) Amos, Fresian and who knows what else. No convict that I know of though Great Great Grandma Rochford was best friends with Ned Kelly's mum. She was the one who ran an abusive husband (not her own; her's was OK) out of town with a bullock whip. One tough sheila that!!Mine was mostly German and Irish. Had some native american/Asian and had an ashkenazi jew as a great great great grandmother.

I’m a green eyed pale skinned Brit.
I gave my youngest son a few sods to hire a woman to look into our family ancestry.
It’s fascinating stuff. It’s pretty hard to get passed 1600s
Only parish records, and gravestones to tell the tale.
Good new on my German ancestry, we’ve located the church just outside Norwich where his families worshipped. Stay tuned for updates.

Speaking of bullock whips, you can guess what's running through my mind.

I'd better not say. It might ruin you for life.
Greg knows.
Thank you. For I’m been a very worldly protected Brit all my life... I don’t even know how to swear properly.
