Show us your roots!

Show us your roots!
Guys, How far back have you traced your ancestry?

I'm a little fascinated with the colours, patterns and symbolism of medival English/Scottish clans/traditions.
Do you have a house flag? Kilt pattern? Did your ancestors make mead?  Boru?
Anyone have a family totem pole?

The further back, the more exciting! It's like travelling through time.

Here's mine (if you're having trouble sleeping)



Any Americans who can trace their origins back to mother England?
Any famous dudes in your past?  The Wild West? Murdered? Got hanged? Bumped into Emmet Brown? Anything.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
