That's neat. I was just taking Pacific Northwest history (Washington, Oregon, Idaho) and I've lived in California, the San Francisco area and Southern California, down by Los Angeles and San Diego. I haven't been to the UK since 1968 (other than plane stopovers at Heathrow) and then it was only London. My husband's great grandfather brought his wife and family over from Scotland, he was born there but his older siblings and both parents were from Ireland so my husband's not very "Scottish." His last name begins with McP and his grandfather said it wasn't MacP because, being Scottish, "That would be a waste of a perfectly good "A" :-) But turns out he was only born in Scotland, passing through from Ireland to America :-)
