Family knowledge?

I know all my family, and I can't stand most of them. Holidays are always a hoot. Hell, for the ones I don't know or those that came before my time, there's even a book. I think it was compiled in the 1920's, it’s thicker than the bible, and has all their names and what they did. I think, there was something like... I can’t remember. Something over 50 or 70 generations on the Scot side and I believe more than 60 or 80 on the English? And, by English, no offence, but I use that term somewhat loosely.

At the early end of both, we've several different versions. Just pick whichever you like the most, as I always say. One for the Scots includes an Adam, an Eve, maybe an Egyptian princess, possibly some ancient Iberian royals, several of what the early Irish christians called Lairds and Ladies, several kings of Alba (not Albania), princes and nobles of Del Raida, and by a not so simple twist of fate a Thor, several AS Wessex and Ingland kings and their Kentish princesses, as well as a random Trojan prince tossed in for good measure; but by all means no Albanian-Alexander.

Even still, my very strange sounding surname is Scottish, yet is derived from an early Greek root that means 'to prance like a horse?'

School kids can be so cruel, still It helps to have a dry sense of humor?


Again, I don't judge.
