I just wonder if one's heritage could be felt "subconsciously" by one's "genes"? An intetersting story story was told on TV some time ago by Jerzy Stuhr, a famous Polish actor of Austrian origin. He said he had always felt inside him a strange affinity to a place in Austria which he used to pass several times on his trips to Italy. And he discovered only later on that it was precisely a place where his Austrians ancestors originated from!!!
Quite recently I have discovered ancestors of my own bearing a "Latin" surname and German first names [one was Gottlieb and another was Gotfried] in the act of a birth of 1794; the surname was later polonized, however, and to the effect that the whole family have always asked themselves "what the bloody hell does this surname come from?". The act was written in Mazovia, so those people must have come in there from somewhere else. Should my somewhat "strange" interest in the past of the Silesia region before 1945 direct me "subconsciously" to the forgotten heritage of my family on the mother's side perhaps?
Mongrel, you say so out of pure envy so coz you lost your job as a second hand carpet seller after GB completed Brexit. Your best deals had been on cheap used carpets imported from Europe but that came to an end when new duties were imposed on such goods. And you went bankrupt in result.
I only replied to your post before. What is wrong with my post? It is all true. You went bankrupt after Brexit was done. Today you have to take advantage of Happy Hours Internet Time evening package coz you can`t afford the 24/7 connection.
