Well, a tiny, tiny part of me is. I've been working at ancestry.com. I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I'd traced one line back to Charlemagne and beyond. On Wednesday I followed another branch that took me back to France via the Norman Conquest. Today I followed another branch back to the 1st Baron of Percy who came over with the Normans in 1066. It looks like he's descended from the original Normans (aka Norsemen). He has ancestors mostly from Norway, but a couple from Denmark. I'm back to Hogne Eysteinsson, Earl of Trondheim, born in 700. I'm taking a break now. I have 1129 hints attached to various people in my tree that now totals 1012 people.
