Clan MacLeod?

[Terry Searl]

A Young Chinese fellow was sitting with his father one evening and the OLD MAN, noticed his son was deep in thought

What seems to be the matter number one son asked the old gentleman

Father, replied the son, I am perplexed

So it seems, said the father, what is it that has caused you such perplexity

The young man looked at his father and asked...... ARE WE CHINESE?!!

The old man smiled and replied, For over 100 generations

The boy looked at his dad and asked, If we are Chinese, why is our last name Svenson!

The old man smiled sagely and replied

When your great grand father immigrated to this country, he had to stand in a long line with others who were also immigrating here
The man in front of your great grand father was a giant, with long blonde hair and muscles bulging through his shirt sleeves

The immigration officer was sitting at a table and recording the names of each immigrant as they came up to him

NAME! said the immigration officer without looking up and as officially as he could

The big burly fellow replied with a Swedish accent..... OLLIE SVENSON

Without looking up the officer wrote the name down on the immigration form, handed it to the giant and said

NEXT

The old man smiled and said to his son, when the immigration officer asked Esteemed grand father what his name was, Esteemed grand father replied SAM TING

The immigration officer wrote down OLLIE SVENSON and without looking up handed the old Chinese immigrant his entry papers

AND THAT IS WHY, WHEN LOOKING INTO FAMILY TREES, YOU CAN'T JUST GO BY THE LAST NAME especially of people who have immigrated to this side of the pond
