This is why I have tried to come up with a Persona that matches my ethnic
background.
German: Descended from a Baron (which Barons were a dime a dozen)
English: Probably guttersnipe due to my pithy remarks from time to time
Scots: Graham/Montrose-The only Marquis to be hung and quartered
Irish: Tints of red in hair and can have a vicious tongue from time to time
Scot-Irish: MacBride
Knowing what I know of my family, there were probably
Norse/Viking/Gaul/Celtic all mixed in somewhere as we tend to mix rather
than match.
