Hello!
I'm 17 and currently live in Canada. My ancestry is overwhelmingly British Isles (English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, in order) with distant German. I'm quite keen on genealogy, and have my family tree, for both parents, traced to the 10th century. My other interests include history, politics, and football. I hope to become a productive member of the Stirpes community, and I'll talk to you all soon.

Re: Hello!
The Canadian Loyalists; staunch Monarchist/Imperialist here. I certainly have family from a side of the Northern Ireland conflict, and unlike them, I steer clear of it.

so you are a monarchist and imperialist - does this mean you support Queen Elizabeth's and the Lords' corrupt British regime?

 The sad thing though is that the monarchy is now a hollow shell. People like us who come from a Monarchist/Unionist/Loyalist background have to realize that we're on our own now and we have to make new friends. "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold" as Yeats said.

Re: Hello!
Tabitha, I hope you don't think that just because Skadi is down you can get away with stating blatant facts like Scotland is not a Germanic country.
Take the Oath of Germanic Allegiance or else.....

Re: Hello!
Of course, all those Saxon and Norse settlers in Scotland were an illusion.

I'm assuming you are claiming Scotland is "Germanic" based on the fact you can prove they were the majority. Then again, reality in any shape nor form was never known to come from Loyalism. Actually, that reminds me. With the 12th coming up, I traditionally post a certain piece of history that tends to make Orangemen squirm uncomfortably. I know how they so despise facts....
