I can't remember actually,

I was trying to say something but can't remember can't remember, can't remember, can't remember.

You know what?
I can't remember!

The more gibberisch I write, the less I can remember

The IS an answer to that you know... 😄

The swedes didnt travell a lot to the western part of Europe 1000 years ago!!!! The Danes and the Norwegian was often on trips to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. A lot of the Norwegian travellers brought back English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish men and women. They mixed with the Norwegians and today there are a lot of red haired and very dark haired Norwegians, brown eyed as well. 🙂

Oh yes Ush is right. I have a very unusual surname and we had a search done and now have a big book of "........."s all over the world. There a far fewer than we imagined. Although it is a tad out of date now. It would be good to write to some of them though and trace my family tree.

We also researched our surname back aswell. My mum managed to trace it back to a John de Shire Cliffe meaning cliffe dweller! Great! I live in a cave!

OK so I amy have given a slight hint to my surname there but I will say no more. You would only laugh. And don't say you wouldn't! Because everybody does! It's only human! But very pathetic also!

My great, great, grandfather arrived in NY from Germany in 1908, we have a copy of the page in the Ellis Island log book, where he signed his name, and it has his measurements, and the name of the ship he got off, and he only had the equivalent of $7 on him.

I am SO sorry, Fintri. I have no idea what came over me because I MEANT to say Norway. I mean, of COURSE I meant Norway. Who ever heard of Swedes coming to the UK back then? Must have been distracted while typing.

BTW, Edna, just so you know, I didn't actually laugh myself. But you know what I am like.

I dont know why anyone would want to leave Norway, it was voted the #1 best place to live in the world. *packs bags, buys one way ticket to Oslo*

Well they havent counted on our tax system while voting. It is a nice country to live in expensive as hell but nice. By the way Texas Oslo is one of the cities with the highest crime rates in Europe so choose another destination. Stavanger is very nice. 😄 with a lot of pubs and bars and restaurants.

Just for your info on monday we have our election and it is a very very close race between the Labor
party and the Conservative party(kind of similar to the Republican party in the US) I myself is more of a democrat but probably go for the Conservative at least they want to reduce the taxes.

Edna:
try going to France for you're family tree:

John de Shire Cliffe

John: in French you can say Joan
de: means 'of'
Shire: I thought there was a small vilage named Shire; give me a few days to find out
cliffe: no idea

I think Edna has probably got all the info she can get on that one, yerssot! It really is a seriosu past-time in her family.

Nah, I was hoping to win her trust so she would say here real name, btw: I have a really stupid name also Edna, so I KNOW I wouldn't laugh with yours

Hmmm, this could start something...

I'm ready 😄
