Yeah I know mine, we came to the UK in 1066, my ancester was the admiral for William the Conqueror so he led the armada... was rewarded with land etc. Blond was the surname but in time got changed to Blount and then Blunt to denote protestants may years later. So yes it is fascinating.
Rangers are my football team hehe.
That is some set of glasses! Aha so Sunday was a Scottish day
Wow you're family got there in a very significant time didn't they! 1066, I think that's a year that has been drummed into out heads in history in high school over here!
So any idea where they were before 1066? Blond sounds like it could be a Nordic or Germanic name...did you find that out through research or dna or both?
So yes I thought the rangers must have been a footy team..🤣..Footy or soccer?
Ahhhh yeahhh lol...Still finding Scottish stuff stashed away in Mum's jewelry today.
Her old jewelry box was a complete and I found a lot of Scottish broaches in there and what looked like was a pair of cuff links that were turned into earrings with JSG inscribed on them and when the jeweler read out the JSG to me, I instantly thought of Mum's brother- John Scott Giffen who was a famous Magician back in the 50/60/70's before he died, but I just realised just then that they could have also belonged to her dad who was also John Scott Giffen born in Bonhill Dunbarton...Hmmmm...they're in the shape of a crest...I'll take a photo of them tomorrow and show you. If they were his, they'd have to be...atleast 70yrs old- which I know is nothing to you guys when you're all over there finding gold and jewels from the 1200's stashed in paddocks everywhere...🤣
