So Trudy in my own seraching I know that Im sixth generation
Australian/Irish descent on my paternal side and 32nd generation
English/Scottish descent on my maternal side ? Is that what your saying about my
aboriginality?
I have been doing my own geneology for a while now and cnt get
back past the 6th generation of my fathers side but mums takes me back top David
the first of Scotland year 996 AD.
But I guess for me as was said before I do not have a culture
because in the enforced shipment of people to Australia when the invaders came
my ancestry was lost. The irish, english and scottish backgrounds mean
nothing to me more than a blood line and a reason for my skin colour and a
reason for my health. Apart from that the owning part of me remembers the
place I grew in my birth the bush the mulga trees the water of the creek the
gums the animals that I guess for is all I have of my culture, the way my mum
cooked tucker and the way my father did things. *(Whether I liked em or
not). ?
Is this my way to understand ?
Regards, Lance.
