don't post much now.... what is your blood line? anyone done one of these traces for your history/ shockin.
Yes, my family came here in the late 20th century, from Italy. My ancestors were part of the travelling circus and were named Boni, it was changed to something more English but very similar when they settled here. I've seen a photo where they are next to a big bear which was part of the circus. Does this mean I'm a gypo?

Did my history via Ancestry UK and visited some of the places my family lived in UK when I was back in 2010. Part Cornish, Scottish, Irish and English. Going through the censuses of the time involved all eventually arrived in Co Durham during the industrial revolution. Two great grandfathers were from Essex and Cornwall and were not counted in the census of 1861 and the only conclusion I could come to was that they in transit between their birth area and Durham. Doubt if they had the money for coaches so must have walked and worked their way up the country. Hell of a trek.
Paid a bloke £3000 to trace my line. The sheepshaggers were right about me being inbred, line travels back in Sunderland through the ages.. The guy unearthed one hell of a line, all the way back to the Viking invasions and one of my ancestor was a rich churchman who stole off the poor to keep his lavish life style. So I asked him if I had Viking blood flowing through my veins, he said no but one of my female ancestors held off the Vikings single handedly. Didn't manage to stop the pillaging though so we lost all our wealth. So I asked him how come she hadn't been raped. Bit disappointed in his reply. She wasn't raped because she was an ugly **** just like the rest of your family.

Ha, those abodes are actually an improvement on the real family homes in Mayo and Roscommon. Although, there once was a big estate in Carrick on Shannon called Laheen. My great granddaddy drank it away...wasn't liked by the locals there either...he had a distribution arrangement with Guiness and some English landlords. Lots of broken windows in that big farmhouse, usually just after the local closed.
