Typing in random things on wikipedia tonight and I found out something quite cool. At least to me. Me and my friend were just goofing around, typing in randomness to find out what we could find, I jokingly put in my last name. One of the first things I found was a fairly long list of people sharing my last name. Inspecting the links I was suprised to find that they were rulers of an island in the English Channel! "Sark"...
Upon some background searching I found that I am some how related to these Seigneurs and Dames(the titles said rulers held). So...yeah. I'm decended from royalty. Pretty cool I thought lol.
If you want proof that I'm not just playing some joke or something; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sark
For the...two of you that know my last name, go and put it into Wikipedia if you want. I thought this was funny...guess my superiority complex was right after all...lol. Take THAT school counselors!
Your Seigneur(heh...I like that),
Eric

That is cool that you are descended from royalty. Could you be a long lost prince they are looking for?

So looked up my last name, and looks like one of my relatives (still living) is a champion cricket player in Italy -_-; Woohoo... I think my last name is one of those where everyone's related, rather than such common names as "Smith" or "Anderson" where it's SO branched out, that I knew a guy from my church, an Anderson, who married a girl named... Anderson! No relation whatsoever. Just funny^^
But yeah, don't think I'm from ANY type of royalty or anything, knowing most of my family came from povo northern Italy.

That's pretty darn cool, nice to find things like that out at random times.
I already knew that my last name is from a town in England, which is what popped up upon the Wiki search for it. ;_; ... lol. Though, when googling my own name, a link that actually has to do with me pops up within two pages ^^

I'm still looking for my direct Scottish roots.Though it does look like according to the YDNA for my family that we're one of the many families that are probably
descended from Colla Uais the founder of the Scots Royal Line of Delraida Scotland.We're only 6 markers off from an exact match(actually my line is,the other branches in our family are only 5 off).Given the way mutations occur slowly over the years and the fact that all 6 markers that differ are only off by one each
it is a likely possibility.(Colla Uais lived in the 4th century)

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
