Stop in for a cup of coffee

Oh man, when I read about these people from back then, I am almost pissing myself so I am laughing. Talk about getting nicknames for the way they looked or acted.
I wish it was easier for you here in the US to find out about your family background way back in time. It is hilarious reading. Who cares when you go back 1000 years in time, but it is good theater.

We have family ties to the Bamble area in Norway. The family book on Mom's side goes back to 1400 or so. On Dad's side my aunt was able to track 1400 or so names to Norway also. Slide in a bit of Scot/Irish and a tad of Polish but mostly Norway. I love reading about people and events from way back then. Happy Tyr's Day today.

Bill,

Not sure if you have read The Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson. Hard to read but great old stories of the Pagan Days
