Andrew C, that sounds sense. Someone in the checkout queue behind me one day said something, and I found myself immediately asking "What part of Canada do you come from?" and she was so delighted at not being taken for an American that we started chatting - and found she had relatives that came from the same area (Cumberland as was) that my ancestry came from!
Tiny world, indeed.

I was once told that it is very difficult to tell the difference between an American and a Canadian, but the quickest way was to tell that to a Canadian.
