Guilty as charged, and a 'Son of the Revolution' on both parent's sides.

Not I.

My family background is more like WFC (White French Catholic).

I am an 11th generation descendant of Jehan Terriot. In 1636, he and his wife Perrine Reau left La Rochelle aboard the Saint-Jean to settle in Port-Royal, Acadia, in what became a few years later the province of Nova Scotia.

My father was English with some German heritage. Mom was 100% Irish. The last name "Mueller" was changed to "Miller" on Ellis Island.

I am an 11th generation descendant of Edward Doty who came to America on the Mayflower. Edward Doty shot the first duel in America. No one was hurt.

As punishment, the two men were tied facing each other by the neck, chest and hips for two days in the Plymouth jail.

I like to thank Ed for my spunk.

Hmm, maybe we should bring that form of punishment back.

@starwatcher-al I like that idea ,would be interesting

@RoyMillar And of course it would be a new reality TV show.

@starwatcher-al probably would be come a hit

Cool! I have Scottish, English (Welch), German and Danish ancestry, to name a few, and have traced one branch of my tree back to Sir (Saint) Thomas More.
