Not sure of the exact nationality, but our board friends from the Midwest can explain. Believe they're people of Norweigian and similar Scandinavian decent who settled much of the plains states and upper Midwest in the 1800's. The sheep farmers as opposed to the cattle ranchers. So named for their squarish facial features.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

My general idea of racial categories circa 1850 and the rough year in which they became "white":
White (English, Welsh, German, Scandinavian, French)
1880 Celtic (Irish, Scottish)
1900 Baltic (Polish, Ruthenian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Finnish)
1920 Mediterranean (Spanish, Italian, Greek)
1930 Slavic (Russian, Czech, Slovak, Ukrainian, Slovene)
1950 Jewish

Re: POTUS 45:56 Biden Memes to Own the Cons!
Radicalization
President Donald Trump has repeatedly refused to accept any responsibility for inciting violence in American communities, dismissing critics who have pointed to his rhetoric as a potential source of inspiration for some citizens acting on even long-held beliefs of bigotry and hate.
"I think my rhetoric brings people together," he said last week, four days after a 21-year-old allegedly posted an anti-immigrant screed online and then allegedly opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 22 and injuring dozens of others.
But a nationwide review conducted by ABC News has identified at least 36 criminal cases where Trump was invoked in direct connection with violent acts, threats of violence or allegations of assault.
In nine cases, perpetrators hailed Trump in the midst or immediate aftermath of physically attacking innocent victims. In another 10 cases, perpetrators cheered or defended Trump while taunting or threatening others. And in another 10 cases, Trump and his rhetoric were cited in court to explain a defendant's violent or threatening behavior.
Seven cases involved violent or threatening acts perpetrated in defiance of Trump, with many of them targeting Trump's allies in Congress. But the vast majority of the cases -- 29 of the 36 -- reflect someone echoing presidential rhetoric, not protesting it.
ABC News could not find a single criminal case filed in federal or state court where an act of violence or threat was made in the name of President Barack Obama or President George W. Bush.
The 36 cases identified by ABC News are remarkable in that a link to the president is captured in court documents and police statements, under the penalty of perjury or contempt.Cornell University

My Grandmother thanks the Detroit Tigers bullpen, especially Joaquín Benoit, in helping crack spelling/pronunciation issues with her work in tracking the family tree.
To this day, she jokes that he's a cousin because of his name. (We couldn't be further from the Dominican Republic in our family tree.) It just helped her track down the spelling of a distant relative from Quebec.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

When the great-great-grandfather responsible for my surname arrived from Norway the spelling wasn't changed, but the pronunciation went from "krow-oog" to just "krow" (rhymes with cow in both instances).Last edited by Slap Shot; 08-14-2019, 11:42 AM.
