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.
My mom gave me a genealogy a few years back that purports that one of my ancestors came over on the Mayflower, but those sorts of claims seem rife in this field.
