E-BLAST - SUN 20 OCT

Time for something less serious  -  the E-Blast has been really focused for months on end. I wrote about our family tree two weeks ago, this is a follow up. The photo is the Tronson family Crest - the Latin reads 'Glory before Riches'. We have a family tree parchment dating from 1570 thru to 1725. Tronson is Norwegian, in the C11th migrated to France for religious freedom and were Huguenots in the C16th escaping to England.
Recently I received correspondence from England - formally tracking down this part of the family's history (filling the gaps) - a Tronson 'Lordship' in the C17th had been bequeathed but never taken up, and I was sent the Crest. I'm not the eldest son, the 2nd son went into the church - there you are! I'd possibly be a Lord Bishop  ...... a Bishop's Court (fancy big house).
Where's Tony Abbott and his Queen's Honours when you need him - our family - Lords and Lady's. We watch those UK period television programs, love 'em, especially the Clergy (fuddy duddies). 
Any rate - that's not the point the story. I was conveying all this in a conversation with Adelaide young writer Amy Manners - it came up (forget)  -  turns out Amy is a direct descendant from Henry VIII and is a Lady indeed. We're suggesting any others ...  at the next young writers conference ....  who can believe it  -  there you are, something less serious.
