His grave, in Maitland's old Rathluba cemetery is the only definite FF burial site outside Sydney (wef 2011). DNA testing indicates Viking inheritance, so I get a twofer. I consider myself to be reasonably civilised.<br />The Viking strain also explains the familial Leiden 5 clotting disorder and de Puyten's contracture of the hands, sometimes referred to as the Viking disease. <br />JCWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-25826776668434364652019-01-09T18:51:00.853+11:002019-01-09T18:51:00.853+11:00Now why don'y you post a photo on FB to prove ...Now why don'y you post a photo on FB to prove your point?

Whitest sand in the world, they say! But the sand was just the same at VINCENTIA. <br />As an avid viewer of the Vikings on Netflix, I wonder how their descendants ended up to be so civilised!Winton Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383561940886657594noreply@blogger.com
