Eric, This might help you sort out what language you should to speak and where you should live:-))I would be careful about living in Quebec though. Its only a matter of time before Quebec's new prime minister, Landry foments another pogrom.

After camping out at Rome the visigoths had a kingdom in what became Castile, before the time of Justinian, it lasted for at least two hundred years ... roughly the same time the vandali migrated by stages right through the Iberian peninsula over to north Africa, from where they took Carthage at one point, then moved back to found a kingdom whose name became converted over the years to Andalucía ... so there was non-celt blood around from which the sefardí could get the blond hair and light skin .... unless the goths and vandali were celts? - that could be ... i don't know where the celts came from, probably no one does. People have always moved around, the blood gets mixed up and then becomes the standard for the area for a while ... there was a Canadian Geographic article a few months ago on Orkney islanders who shipped out working for the HBC, some brought their indian wives home to the islands, now there are fourth and fifth generation descendants ... brits to the core -g- ... that expression cracks me up, 'First Nations', for all we know each was the seventeenth in its area. The dried warriors in the chariots - i remember that National Geographic article ... not 9000 years old as i recall, but who knows really ... they say that the horse who pulled those chariots originated on the North American plains, as Eohippus, about the size of a dog ... wandered off to Asia and died out in NA until reintroduced by Coronado Lots of evidence of connections in languages - sil.org - also contrasts, little enclaves surrounded by distinct types ... some deep into south America with clear links to algonquian, separated by thousands of miles and half a dozen distinct language families ... sure they moved around. Irish being a lost tribe of Israel - did you ever hear of a cult called British Israelites? ... i used to know somebody who made fun of them, in favour of another preferred cult of course ... didn't retain the details. Did i ever buy anything on the net? - sure, lots of times ... stocks ... and then sold them, also on the net -g- ... but that's all ... clicked on maybe ten banner ads total in four years, never bought anything, no adverts are not the way to make it on the net, but financial services and financial info, that's right up there with porno as lucrative opportunity ... what this country needs, and many other countries as well, is a competent discount broker ... no, two - so they compete for my custom. You might do well with the claim if you founded a cult and got on tv a lot - got to sell the sizzle, not the stake ... without some smoke people are likely to ask pertinent questions, like - if your ancestors had it enough together to get out, why would you want to go back -g-
