That pretty much defines it.

Thankyou for these gems of wisdom! It really assists the average citizen like me in putting it all into perspective. I tell my aging mind to recall my college history & English, & then I come up

with "I'm back in medieval history" which made more sense to me, lol!!!!

Keep it up; we Canadians have a British, Scottish & Irish history!!!!

Recently, on Ancestry, I learned about my Scottish grandfather who I knew nothing about.

Thanks to Ancestry, he emmigrated in 1896 from Scotland, land in Nevada to become a silver

miner. He ended up in the great Yukon of Canada, becoming a gold miner. Lived a

long life to 86, & died in the Yukon! Does anybody care? No, just my Canadian family,

but it does ":beg the question" of how politics is such a small part of our lives!

Needless to say, I am so proud of my Scottish grandfather, who continued his life to 86

Carry on Steve!
