	altaltalt: My grandfather did a lot of research into this in his later years.On his side of the family, it's mostly a bunch of Bristolian merchants that made their fortune, before it got taken over to Australia. Going further back it's all pirates, smugglers and wreckers with a noteable exception in a chap called Colonel Blood. Stan Laurel is my gran's cousin of a few steps remove.
My dad's side is all highland sheep crofters, though the clan history is pretty spectacular.
