Post The "Where you come from?" Thread
Some of you have already read this, but I figured I would post it in a more accessible place. :cop:

So, my family has a pretty awesome origin.

"The Clan Currie, anciently Clan MacMhuirich, has a long and honorable history. They are one of the earliest constituted Clans of the Scottish Highlands. In his book "Scottish Clans and Tartans", Scottish author and historian Ian Grimble writes "The Herbridean name of Currie is the corrupt English form of the MacMureach, one of the most ancient and distinguished names in Scotland's history. Through the MacMhuirichs, the Literary Torch in the Western Isles was preserved for generations. They were recognized as the most illustrious body of learned men who were specialists in the heroic literature and genealogy of the ancient Gaelic world".

The founder of the race was Muiredach O'Daly [1180 - 1222 AD], an outstanding poet of his time, who had studied at the famous Irish Colleges. The O'Daly's were established in their literary role as a bardic family by the 12th century. Muiredach was highly respected as the King's Poet at the court of Cathal Crodhearg of Connaught. However, he was forced to flee from Ireland in 1213 after making an enemy of the powerful chief of the O'Donnels, whose steward had arrogantly demanded rent from the Royal Bard. O'Daly's response was swift and final - splitting the steward's head in two with a battleaxe. Then, in traditional bardic arrogance, he expressed his surprise over the ensuing fuss in a poem:

Trifling our quarrel with the man,
A clown to be abusing me,
And me to kill the churl,
Dear God, is this a cause for enmity?"


But, I am not the only one with a sweet backstory. So foo's, where you come from?

That is pretty sweet mix though.

I am mostly Scottish, but I also have Irish, Polish and Ukrainian in me (sometimes all at once :fag: ). I wish I had something else besides all whities though, that way I wouldn't have to deal with all the guilt.

Polish, Russian, Czech, and god knows what else from Eastern Europe's floated in there over the centuries. My great-grandmother on my mother's side's marriage license lists her as Jewish, but no one in the family knows for sure. :hitler:

Well, is that not more or less a description of the general PR populace? :idk:
