How far back do you go?

Hi wmraul, so are you planning on being famous enough for your descendants to boast about you. Personally I'm ruling out the reincarnation bit. Have you never thought of spicing up your family history a bit, having the Count in your past somewhere should be good for keeping all those official types a way, nice wooden cofin lying around under a few heads of garlic. Just think of the fun you could have with the family stories.

Well, I once had in mind to "blur up" my family history and to "discover" I'm somehow descendent of Robin Hood. While doing research for this I got info I actually may be .. so I was shocked and scared and I stoped the search ..

WEll you can rely on me. From now on I will know you as Mr Hood.

Still think the count connection would be better though.

Mr Hood - please pay attention now, I've just had to correct you in the shepherds box.

Hello Hatley, I rather enjoyed that I must say. So 600 years of family history to make the name Ladd resound and you had to go and change it to Hatley. So basically you're English through and through, but your ancestors from England must have been descended from someone. Hatley we could be long lost cousins if your Ladds were also desceneded originally from William the Conqueror.

Hi shepherdspy, I must have missed yours I'm afraid but this was indeed inspired by a mylotting name dropper. The rabbit will get it.

Your soccer player would mean nothing to me unless he plays for the world famous Panaithianaikos, who are currently enjoying some Romanian hospitality.

its called football!

Did I mention I am fan of Dinamo Bucuresti since ever?

And yes, is called FOOTBALL. Soccer is a very similar sport played in USA. There they name "football" a game played with hands ..

You can't go around telling me about football you know, I am ranked number one in the greatest football interest of all time - Panithinaikos, which has already 50 mylot followers, though admittedly only two of them know anyting about football.
That group you just mentioned are playing them tomorrow, for full details head along to the appropriate interest and sign up for your great welcome speech.

I know who's gonna play tomorrow and the only reason Dinamo will win only 2-1 is because N'doye will not play ..

I kow it's called football,it's just when I come in here,I try to think internationally! I don't want responses saying American football doesn't have goalkeepers (Or international competitions.. )

American footy's played by guys with funny shaped balls..isn't that relevant here?

That's why is actually called "american football". They don't have goalkeeper and no international competition ...

I hope Shepherdspy that we can count on your support for Panaithianaikos tomorrow, all you need do is sign into the glorious interest whilst wearing green. Akuler will no doubt be on hand to answer any football related queries.

Sheperdspy, which is your fav team (football, of course)?

I don't really have a fave team..I don't watch much football,but could sit down and watch an important or international game with friends or family..

Huh, no support in the Pani interest from you two then, you don't have to like football to support them, just support them anyway, they are young Greek boys missing their Mamas.

Isn't american football rugby for wimps?? why do they need so much padding!! Come to Yorkshire and see real men play!

ooh..1-0!

Hey, please!

SIR Arthur Conan Doyle, ok? Was one of my best students in one of my prior lifes ..

Holly gramophone, what a wild imagination he had ... not. I had once tell him some of my issues I had while travell into some south-American jungle and he write a book ("the lost world") about it and grabed all the cash ..

Buggs Bunny and?

Get real jb, I know who your true ancestor is, but do you still retain the title, Lady MacBeth.

you've forgotten the witches. mrs mac was useless.

GOTCHA, JB!!!!

I know EXACTLY who is your ancestors.

Is on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_MacLeod

you stalker. how the hell did you know that?

I have high level connections ..

you do know that when most people saying that they are not referring to tweets on the top of trees wmraul?

jb, Mr Hood has a very famous friend here, a teenager with long lineagal connections, so it could be a spot of nepotism.

ok last time i try and stop him nicking dawn's gin then.

Hmm .. are you two girls trying to get advantage of me because I "passed" 6 beers already?

... or was it 7 ..? .. eh, who cares?

Don't mention "The Scottish play"!

We were hoping the teenager might drop in for a vodka and a little social discourse but perchance he's shy.

Or maybe he's not online ...

Hey JB, did you pick up on the deliberate gaff here which as a little test following on how much one knows about history of other nations?

William of Normandy, not Norman the conqueror? I presumed little Ricky would come in and correct me but he couldn't be drawn in.

Sure Ophelia was not somewhere in the lineage?

Hm, I'll ask...

You should really walk round muttering to a skull and take up grave digging in your spare time.

she already does. suggest some new hobbies.

hehe

I just responded here about 10 mins ago and now its blank, maybe working on two screens at once isn't working so well. And my last comment was really witty too.
Ok, if your friend needs to narrow it down to a scots or irish king there's an easy way to find out, if he wears a kilt and plays the bagpipes whilst drining guiness and eating haggis and potatoes then you are not one bit wiser than now.

Lol, sometimes I will be typing and have something really well thought out and extensive, and then BOOM! I hit a key and it's gone, by accident of course! Your remark sounded very witty! I was going along, thinking "mhm" "okay" and then BAM! I was none the wiser!

In any case, My friend knows who the king was, I just don't remember.

cousin...

You didn't fancy joining the happy godsquad family then Lamby. Just think of all the good work you could have done in the family name. You could have even taken up as one of those evangalists who con old women to send their pensions off to the nice man on the TV, all in the name of your family.

Obviously you were the black sheep instead

pet. not descendent.

Lamby, ..

Holly apple-snake, why do you need proofs?

Is enough to belive.

Hi LittleMissSunshine, well it's nice that you have some famous Irish relations to claim as your own but I've never heard of them. I quite liked that chap in Cold Feet though who was IRsih, are you perhaps related to him? Now being left on the doorstep is a really good story to tell - one could have early senility and go round of accusing anyone they took a dislike to of being Mummy or Daddy.

That would be awesome!

Hi jillhill, well aren't there any famous Norweigan axe murderers who you could claim to be related to, no ones going to check are they. Actually this is remiss of me but I can't at this moment think of any famours Norwegans, wansn't there an explorer though. not famous enough for me to remember his name though.

The vikings ... Varangian Guards ... Olav the Saint ..

Hi irishidid, well that's another famous Irish actor there that I've never heard of. If you're adopeted though you can make up anyone you like to be descended from and turn up on the doorstep to take advantage of all the stashed family heirlooms. I would think there would be quite a lot of O'Neills in the phonebook though.

I could, but I'm too honest for that. LOL

I'm luckier than most adoptees. My biological mother worked for my adoptive mother so I do have some names. Just fitting them all together-that's a different thing!

Robertson did a lot of westerns back in the 50s and 60s. He's pretty old now, but still alive. He can be googled.
