and so where bouts in bonnie Scotland did the fabled and much feared Hendersons turn out to be from?? now I am picturing your forefathers up at Castle Henderson defending the faith with big Highlander broadswords..

Seriously, he's like everybodys friend. He was so cute as a little puppy too, that naming him "Cerberus" was kind of like my little joke anyways. People call him "Serb" for short.

I think all the genealogy stuff is really interesting and I can understand why so many of you yanks go tracing your roots around Britain and Europe and the most fervent are I think those with the Irish forefathers but it is all good and I would imagine being a true Scot you got a family tartan too? and so the sons of Hender really were Highlanders then I guess you must have a daily struggle to reign in that quickening and curb your urge to lop off your boss's head with the ol broadsword when he give ya grief?? ahh.. only quickening I ever had came after a few beers and a Vindaloo curry Nah I is just jokin wid ya fer sure

A good scottish name Kerr with many variants too I believe and a cool tartan Jim did you get anything made up from it?? I know a few guys down here who they call sassanachs .. us limeys south of Hadrians wall who have pretentions to be scots that is.. but yes I know a few guys who got married in the kilt which I think is really cool and nice to see if I am allowed to say.. but now I am thinking..... No... it cannot be.... get away... Jim + Kerr? Jim Kerr from Scotland? my Sherlock sense says that can only mean one thing... Simple Minds? wow... small world and Don't You Forget About Me... an absolute 80s classic let me put it on see how you were sounding back then Jim, ha! and you will prolly not have a notion what I am blethering on about but no revelations there pffft, ha!OnlyAnEgg said:Kerr family of Edinburgh. Rievers, we were...chasing down into York, swiping cattle and killing the bloody Brits

See signature line below for translation.
can I ask the same question to you also as to Egg.. have you actually worn your tartan made up as a garment or is a thing you would not do over there?? *interested* I think connection to roots is an important thing for everyone and I am glad you were able to trace your tree back through generations and I am envious in my position not knowing even thr root.. thank you for sharing.. and wow you mean your quote is from your family coat of arms? that is such a cool thing to know and to be able to say .. excellent!!!
