The wedding of Will & Kate

[sparks19]

It never ceases to amaze me - and I'm sure it never will - how obsessive the coverage of the Royal family's doings seems to be in the States. Didn't you guys fight a war to get rid of them? Don't you have any news of your own?

My grandmother is from england... if I didn't follow the royal family she'd disown me LOL

I remember I called my dad one time and ask if the Queen mum had passed away (for some reason I thought she was still alive) and his response was "don't you let your grandmother hear you ask such a question" LOL

Really? How funny, that is so alien to me. In fairness though, there tends to be a big gap between England and Scotland as concerns the Royal family.

Out of interest, was your grandmother the original emigrant? Sometimes they cling to home ties more persistently.

A number of my granddad's brothers and sisters also emigrated to Canada after the First World War. Work here was scarce and it was a good opportunity. One of his sisters also ended up in London Ontario. I am currently waiting for a photo of the graveyard where she is buried through a website called Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness.

Sorry, somewhat off topic!
