Two days in a row I had guys ask me why I love viking and Irish history so much, so I will try to sum it up here. My dads dad was english "Sampson" and his mother was "O'Rourke". My mothers dad was "Coon" and her mom was "Green".
From my dads side the O'Rourkes were an Irish pedigree of Chiefs and Lords who were descendants of The Norse Vikings !
This is our family crest
http://mctiernan.com/ork.htmhttp://www.angelfire.com/zine2/rourkeprofiles/arms.htmlas you can see it resembles denmark and english crest.
on my signature i use one of our family mottos "Serviendo Guberno", I serve by ruling.
My dads dad was Sampson, anglo-saxon. My moms dad "Coon" was scottish orgin traceing back to Dalriada medieval scotland. My moms mom was Green which is pure irish.
anyways thats a basic over view of my family orgins, please feel free to research and share youre family names/orgin.
