Oh God...I'll be the sucker.

From what I know of my family Tree, acquired from many generations of genealogy addicts, including myself since 1970....my paternal DNA is Scandanavian. The farthest back I've been able to trace is to my five great grandfather Ludovic Macdonald of Uig, Skye born about 1750. I have no trouble embracing Clan Donald as a Son of Somerled - a descendent of Viking invaders of Skye as verified by tradition, family knowledge, and DNA testing.

Of course I also have known Irish, Welsh, Dutch, English, and even a Palantine German line. And who knows what lurks on other undiscovered branches.

But I believe it is heritage and blood that makes a person who they are, not where they happen to live at any given time.

I don't need other people to define myself thank you. I can do that for myself. If other people should object to how I define myself that is none of my business. There is no reason for me to value the opinion of someone interested in spending their time defining who I am. I do that.

I do have one great great grandfather who came to America from Glasgow, raised a family, then abandoned his wife and children and returned to Glasgow. No clue why yet.

Okay, feeding time is over.
