Woops I haven't been on so long I didn't even see Farseer's reply about Ireland!
That sounds really interesting about your ancestor Farseer! I have done a little bit of work tracing my family tree a few years back, but I shudder to think how to trace back to 1665 let alone 1229!! Although it sounds like Ireland might be the right place to do it, from what Maulkin mentioned.
Your trip sounds like it will be great!
I'd love to see some of the places my family is from around England and Scotland. I have been to England (or London at least) ages ago, but I didn't know anything much about family history then.
I don't have any recent info on London things to do for you FoolMoon, but I second Maulkin's suggestion about the Natural History Museum (if you like that sort of thing). I remember I loved that!!
Maulkin that seagull sounds hilarious - wonder if it IS the same one. A raven once stole a sandwich from my hands when we were sitting at a picnic table. We were out in the bush so didn't expect it to be so tame!!
