I'm getting there, Andrew, - back to 1704, only 800 years to go! Should be a doddle...

By the way, I have decided to adopt Thrall's wonderful term "uglyfisation". It's brilliant.

Hi Helen, thank you, but on second thoughts, perhaps a "c" instead of the "s" would be better - that is, should you ever have to use the word.......

Guid hunting,

Thrall

Here's my 'proof', My mother's maiden name is Corr, from Carr, Kerr etc:

From
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_q ... _n12591547

"When Viking descendants arrived in Britain from Normandy with William the Conqueror the term had become a name with the forms Ker and Kerr, and Scottish records from the time of William the Lion mention John Ker, the hunter of Swinhope. The Scottish Kerrs of today are therefore generally thought to be of Anglo-Norman descent, having settled in the Scottish Borders in the 14th century."

Poor Mum, with Irish and Viking blood, what hope did her temper have?

Also I have two crooked pinkies, and so do all my father's family but I had heard they came from my Carson ancestors. Maybe they used to be Cursenn (put two little dots on top of the 'o'.)

Now if I could only get to Legoland?

No, Thrall, I like it the way it is - from the very "to uglyfise"!!
