Maybe he's part Scot?
thought I was 1/4 German but the son of the German ancestor married
a Scottish immigrant's daughter and all the men down the line
married English-Canadian women while maintaining the German
surname. I am 1/16 Scottish and just 1/16 German. But I attribute my
current taste in childhood comfort food to growing up in an
neighbourhood that was half Scottish and half Irish.
Those neighbourhoods were quite separate in the past due to religion.
It was said that one half of the people would show up for a wedding
or a funeral but everyone came out to help re-build if a barn or a
house burned down. As well the Protestant Dutch immigrants went to
the Scottish side and the Polish Catholic immigrants tended to move
into the Irish neighbourhood. Of course it's not like that anymore.
