Thanks! As far as I know, the costume makers never get
acknowledged. Maybe I'll enter another OR State Fair.

My Scottish heritage is minor, my fathers'
great-great(?)-grandfather came to the "new world" from
Scotland via northern Ireland in the 17th century. It never
meant anything to Dad. DGD's paternal family also has some
Scots blood.

However, Scottish heritage is not a pre-requisite to dance
competitively.

I suspect that you couldn't differentiate DNA from a number of European
countries. It isn't like they all stayed put, either. Seems like there
was a general movement from East to West, with a few incursions by the
Vikings coming in from the North. Once removed from the country, I
think the culture assimilates fairly rapidly.

Anyone with sufficient interest should be able to join in the dancing.

And they do! There are surnames from all over Europe, Asia,
and probably other continents as well. ;-)

The business of surnames can be misleading anyway. They are only the
family names of the father, the father's father, the father's father's
father, etc. What about all those mothers? ;-) And I mean that in the
nicest way.

Indeed! I like the Scandinavian naming system: Boys are
"Borge Svensson", and Borge's boy will be "Nels Borgesson".
And girls are "Brigid Annekesdotter" and Bridgid's daughter
will be "Astrid Brigidsdotter".

Or something like that. Must make genealogy research a
bitch, though.

Beverly, who mowed the laws, taking a breather before I
start sewing.
