Thread Name: American ancestry
Subject: RE: American ancestry
According to what I have read, my ancestors originated in Norway, went south to France (Vikings) settled in Normandy, took up with William the Conquorer, invaded England in 1066, changed the name from DeMors to Morse, settled in Marlboro. Then in 1635 two brothers came to America, bred like cod fish and well...there goes the neighborhood. As far as I know, there is no Irish in my family, but, thanks to Seamus Kennedy, I had some Scotch in me the other night. Oh, and my mother claims there is some Dutch.
