That got me interested in genealogy to find out where the French bit came from, and I traced a couple of my ancestral line's way back, they came over with William the Conqueror. It's given me a great hobby that able to do on the computer and I compile all the documents into a binder to leave to my descendants.

    I did the ame a few years back, 73% Scottish, 23% English, 3% Norwegian, 1% Irish. So probably pedigree mongrel.

    Hi John, I'm lucky if you can call it that.
    I still have the Ginger Hair BUT it's only on the sides and back. The rest is BALD.
    Kind regards.

    Graham do you have blue eyes and freckles ? If so you could have a touch either Glasgow blue or a Kerry man.

    When I had hair and a beard I was like Tortise shell cat, dark hair and a ginger beard, later in life my hair became salt & pepper and the beard was removed under strict supervision by her who must be obeyed. Now the old dome just looks like a freckled bowling ball.

    Hi Graham.
    Don't you remember those Indian firemen with the red hair and beards? Even my wife remembers them shuffling around the shops in Gravesend.

    John.
    I hope you are not suggesting that they spate it into Graham as he was sitting in his pram, giving him his hint of red.

    When I lived in Pakistan, a vast amount of men dyed their hair and beards with Henna, it was a tribal thing
