Well I have known for awhile that on my mother's side of things, I come from a line of French Huguenots who fled France around 1572.
But I never for the life of me thought I'd find a Huguenot connection on my father's side of the things....the Catholic side of things......and in, of all places Ireland!
I have a double dose of French blood it seems.....
Sacré bleu!
And not only does this line make me a distant cousin of a known(or should that be infamous?)French Revolutionary & Anarchist in recent generations.
It also seems I come by my dramatic nature honestly, as this same line contains quite a few Irish "Scenery Chewers" aka "Stage Hams" aka Actors.
And to top things off, I appear to have a rather large contingency of relations in......
Australia!
Actors, Anarchists and Aussies......
Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction.
