Actually, I have a hard time with most things French
- politically - but other things like their wine and women are a
different story {:>)

French….. Off topic but very funny
No offence intended, of course, for that part of your French ancestry
that is not diluted. It is just that it always helps to make fun of
someone else in order to make me feel better about myself :-)

As a side note, I have been continuing my
genealogy research into my "French" ancestors and I found my "French"
ancestor actually came from a part of what is now France (since 1472) but,
which was originally inhabited (and still is ) by a Celtic clan called
the "Britons". This clan was at one time widespread
in "Britain" and western France. This is the district of "Brittany",
In fact, some of the older folks there still speak a form of Gaelic
very similar to that which had been spoken in Wales England. So there
is a possibility that my "French" ancestry is "diluted".{:>)
