NO I'M NOT!!!! (Well... maybe I am, but my c*l*n**l status goes back to
1620 when folks were on the boat before there even WAS a c*l*n*!
Besides... I've got roots that have been traced all the way back to 1066!

But in fact, we all have such roots, whether traceable or not.
Just for interest, which side were you on in 1066?
