I hadn't been by this board for awhile, and whew! There's a small village of new people! Welcome, all!

Cinderly--I have cousins that look nearly Asian , petite, with straight, dark hair, and almond-shaped eyes. Myself, I'm as tall, blonde & blue eyed as they come, and yet...some kids in jr. high called me "Chink". One summer we were at a family reunion in Nova Scotia, where the revered ancestor landed when he left Scotland back in the late 1700s. I showed one of the cousins a picture of a MicMac child in a tourist magazine. The kid's eyes looked just like my cousins'. We got all excited and went to the aunts and uncles, and said, "Look! This is why Laurie and Jeff and Megan and Heather (etc) look like they do! We must have some MicMac in the family!"

No.

We were assured by the next generation up that there were not any Indians in our family. Reeeealllly? Have you looked at your kids lately? Well, we of the cousins generation know the truth! Someone told me recently that being Scottish/Indian would make us McMicMac! By the time that blood got to me, it was well mixed with German, Swedish, Danish, and Welsh.
