Too cool for subject

It's great to have that, isn't it? My mum's family are very well documented too, people with property invariably are ;o) - Mark is busy as I write this, loading it to his lappy to trace his mum's family. His Dad's are rather distinguished and terribly well-documented, albeit on the bar sinister. *g*

I'm always amused when aussies proudly boast about the convict ancestor, dispatched to Botany Bay by the wicked, wicked poms, forgetting that rather a large proportion of said ebil poms were actually the parents, sisters, wives, aunties etc. of the convicts and really not responsible for what was being done by the judicial classes and their ilk. Sad not to have one in the ancestry though, I'd be quite pleased to find one myself.

Nice choice of icon, btw. :o)

Ah, the whole "dispatched to Botany Bay" thing is more pride that one's ancestry includes an original settler. Ebil poms are only ebil when they beat us at cricket! *g*
When I read your reply in my inbox I couldn't remember which icon I'd used - twas your AotB one which I love like crazy, and just seemed kinda relevant.
