That was a great read Mickey , thanks :-),
I am 75% Scottish, 25% German. I have done some work into my Geneology and found out that a family member had done all of the work for me already. I don't have any physical traits from the German side - mostly, Scottish but, I have the determination of both..hehe. Not sure where my Extreme positive outlook came from aside from the hard knocks that molded this into my personality but, it is truly amazing how Heraldry effects 'who' we are.

Well, Frank, I've left a legacy of sorts. But not like you might suspect. Last September I delivered 30 copies of a 50 page genealogy report to a family reunion is Mississippi, over 100 in attendence.
That was my starting point. Tracing the generations backwards I got to tell my folks about the great German/German Swiss emigration to the American colonies in the 1700's when over 100,000 of them emigrated to America.
