I is for .......Islands
I can't help wondering if there is a genealogical reason that I like, or feel an affinity to islands. I was born and brought up in the United Kingdom, an Island. My Italian roots and heritage are linked to Sicily, an Island. I love Australia, I spent a year living there and have family there, and obviously, is an Island. I posted under H a super photograph of Tioman, yet another Island!
Over the last few years we have spent time on, and holidayed at a few of the Scottish Islands - Arran and Bute. Both very beautiful and yet different from each other.

It must feel like home to you.
ReplyDeleteThere's one island I'm really interested in - Heligoland (a small island off the coast of Denmark/Holland).
ReplyDeleteAccording to family 'lore', our 'Meyers' family line originates from there, but so far I have yet to prove that - given there are very few BDM records for the island, which has changed hands/sovreignty many times, before being virtually bombed out of existance in WW2!
Interesting choice for 'I', though!
