      My grandparents were Danish on my fathers side. Scottish on my mothers side. I have 3 daughters-Jennifer, Natalie & Susan(twins). I am married to David Johnston. One of my ancestors fought for Napoleon, so I have french blood too.

      I have found so much interesting information from doing my research. I just find it addictive!
