Blew my Mind
« on: September 23, 2012, 12:14:51 AM »
Some of you may know actor Christopher Lee in his biggest role as Sauromon the White in the Lord of the Rings. After a bit of Wikipedia surfing, I found out that he is disantly related to Civil War General Robert E. Lee. They even look the same!

hell if i know. all I know is years ago my dad went to some company and paid them to research his ancestry (back before websites like ancestry.com existed) and that's what they came back with. through the name Graham (which, coincidentally, is also how I'm related to Billy Graham)

Part of Clan Ewen here.

There is even the remains of a McEwen castle on the Loch Fyne. Apparently an ancestor (Chief) took out a loan from the Campbell clan and didn't pay it back. So the Campbell clan came and took the McEwen clans land.

The McLaughlin clan took in most of the defeated Ewen clan while some went with the Campbell clan (I am sure the pretty ones). 

Mac or Mc means 'Son of' in Gaelic. Hence McEwen means, Son of Ewen.    :))

My wife always says, "You are just a cesspool worth of information John!"  :o

Rose Clan, Kilravock Castle was ours!  My ancestors.  Now a bunch of fucking monks run the place.  Bummer.

Swamp Fox is like my Great X 6 or something Uncle, and his brother was my direct descendent.  Word through the family is that Swamp Fox wasn't formerly educated in reading and writing, but his brother was, so he wrote all the dispatches for Swamp Fox, as he just said them allowed, his brother would write them down.  Fairly cool shit.  I love to think that my family was intimately involved in both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War on the Confederate Side, in South Caroline and Charleston NO LESS! 

I've got it my blood.  It just stinks to think I'm not half the men that they were.   :(

Grudgie, I love that you used the cover photo from Guns of the South!

Best line of the book is that they couldn't breach the door so they flanked it through the wall!

My ancestor was a famous 13th century poet. There are statues of him still in Sicily.

Here's an excerpt from his only known surviving work; Rosa fresca aulentissima" (Fresh and very perfumed rose)

"fresh and very perfumed rose, -which appears toward summer

all girls envy you, ? single and espoused;?"

According to experts, he's talking about the female anatomy.  :))
