I'm a direct descendent of an 1817 guest of His Majesty, all the way from Eire. :D
I had a great laugh when one of my cousins traced this as we'd always been told our Irish family had arrived as 'free' settlers. :lol2:
Also a smattering of German (huuge scandal there :o ) Welsh and English, and supposedly some indigenous blood too, but that's drawn a blank with any formal investigation, although it would explain some of my habits and colouring :D
