Please keep the Campus Decorum in mind when posting here--while 'belief' restrictions are not in place, common decency is.

    Life expectancy was shorter back then. They didn't know any better.

    How old is Mossy? She told Adam and Eve to get off her lawn.

    My ancestry includes Ireland, England, France, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. I suspect many of my ancestors probably slaughtered Christians and took the spoils back home in the hopes of one day entering the great halls of Valhalla with Thor and Odin. Before them some of my ancestors probably fought on both sides of wars between pagan barbarians from the north or Romans from the south, or perhaps some mixing of people from the Holy Roman Empire. Before that I might trace my roots farther back to ancient Caucasian migration throughout Europe, probably due to dispersion from the decline of the Hittite empire. My best guess would be that I am ultimately descended from Japheth. (Though after 200 generations, I might have some other peoples mixed in there)

    You are a perch, and I am a perch, we just happen to live in different lakes, maybe, but we are all one people and brothers.

    No Cherokee here, but Choctaw instead. 1/32 supposedly, but my genealogical research turned up no "Lee" but a "Blakely", which my historian's (M. A.) critique turns into 1/64 Choctaw and 1/64 African, slave of the Virginia Lee Family. Other than that, I'm same as QF except that my "Irish" would be "Scotch-Irish" which means just more Scottish.
    Straight paternal my cousins twice-removed claimed we're descended from John (even "Quincy", most totally outrageous) Adams, but hey, they were Texans! My middle name and my father's is "Clyde" to show you how Scottish we are. Even some Scottish on my mother's side, Houston (including Sam as my relative), but way back.
    Oh, by "Dutch" I'm fudging that "Woodward" wasn't just cover for "German". Strange how many Germans come World War I (and II) suddenly became "Dutch" and not "Deutsch"! My mother's maiden name was "Woodward", supposedly Dutch, but one generation back was a Reiter, surely German. But what was the "Christofferson" one generation farther back? Maybe I have some Scandinavian after all? But overall, mostly English, like "Williamson", "Westfall", and "Walker".

    I am. We are all humans on Pern with appropriate Earth origins.
