Vikings

Interesting ancestry ‘coincidences’. Father’s side is consistent: De Dolietta Avranches Normandy. I know they come over with the conquest, I forgot why Normans end up in Scotland, other than it was poor soil, and unconquerable. So short stint, then down to west midlands (I don’t know why but I do see records of land grants). Just rec’d mothers side documentation back to 1200, family name, Londres, same route, ending up in east wales. Then back to Normandy. Doolittles do not go back to Normandy. But both sides, in France and England, migrate during 1630’s, with French to Quebec, and English to Boston, and from Boston to New Haven and remain in CT. French from Quebec to Maine, to Connecticut.

The north sea was a saltwater lake where coastal peoples traveled faster and more easily than overland. The north sea, the Black sea. the Agean the Tigris-Euphrates marshes, the Nile, the Indus, the yellow.
