Which Reminds Me

Yes, shuffling around the genealogy lists, we learn that our Strickland ancestors arrived in America in about 1680, maybe, if that is really us, although it is not all that clear. And tracking that back even earlier than that we find various Walter Stricklands ancestors in England of Tudor times and earlier. 

However, what is clear is that the "Anarchist Baronet" Walter Strickland (1851-1938), born in Enlgand, is NOT us. Not him. That much we can say, now that we have learned of his past existence. We can say the same of the Baron Gerald, now that we have been made aware of his existence. It is hard for us to understand what is there to discuss with those mutant branches of the Tudor tree.
