( Thanks I think. I didn't know I needed him in the story until then, since he's just a very brief side character that gets Zephyr and Gavin from point A to point B. )
(You're welcome I think. Ah, okay; he isn't an important character, but you just decided to make him funny?)
Uh. . . both? A good kind of "impressive", I mean.
Ooh, that could be fun. . . Should I find the time for it. We may not have a coat of arms, for from what I know our family is a rather old American one, although we do have some Irish in us.
Sure thing! That'd be a bit ironic, considering my present LMBE ranking.
So I guess you like barbarians?
If your family name is Irish, you should have a coat of arms. My family name is Irish, but obviously we go back much further than that.
Old American? Are you a Native or South American? That would be cool. You'd have so much history to learn about. That is assuming you mean America and not the USA... Because I wouldn't call the USA old.

Well my rank is Viking, too.
Well, they're certainly a chance for interesting stories.
I'm writing it down to ask my parents as we speak.
One of my grandmothers was a Choctaw Native American, who by the sound of it married a white man -- whether he was Irish or one of the older families who was there when North American decided to fight against the British, I don't know, but I plan to find out. I've been meaning to learn more about my family tree for a long time, but now that someone's brought the subject of family trees up I'm more determined than ever. So -- thanks for that.
North American; USA. Yeah, I agree; that country's like a baby compared to everywhere else! Despite my American heritage, I presently reside in Western Europe, so I have the opportunity to see buildings as old as Ancient Rome, which of course helps emphasize the reality of how young my native country is.
Sure 'nuff.
Wow that's quite interesting. A biracial marriage back in those days. And here I was thinking it was cool that my Scottish Granddad married an English women. I mean, the Scots tend to hate the English.
Gee. I hope your ancestor is Irish, because it's likely that my family fought with the British.
I'm not entirely sure, but my family may have Roman links, too. I know that the Romans pretty much invaded the world, but a bunch of my relatives have Roman names. Names like Cornelius, Ambrose and Vincent. I know that at least two of those names have been passed down for quite some time... Then again, my ancestors were devoted Roman Catholics.
Yeah, Australia is younger though. We just turned 117 yesterday. That's since federation. As a continent and a homeland... Australia is much, much older.

My family name is "Germish."
Technically my surname is Gaelic, but thankfully we anglicised it. It's far too difficult to explain Gaelic sounds to English speakers. They'd keep trying to read it in English.
I suppose you'd have a similar problem with your surname. Actually people still struggle spell and read my surname. It's not exactly hard.

Yes, moving from Germany to the United States, my ancestor had to change an "a" to an "o."

People have a hard time pronouncing my last name sometimes.
I'm mostly of German decent with some Norwegian on my mom's side if I remember right.
( thought I'd jump in on the heritage conversation. )

I thought that was fascinating, too. --Is there still tension between the Scots and English today?
Heh heh, our ancestors could have fought against each other in battle. --I don't know why I think that's funny.
Hmm, that's also interesting. . . The world tried to revive the Roman Empire for so long after they fell, I'm not surprised many people gave their children Roman names in memory of it. --Do you like spending time researching your family history?
Oh, yeah, you're right -- Australia is rather younger than the States, I'd forgotten the six states federated in 1901. So you're Australian with Viking ancestors?
