English and Scottish mostly. My father is very much into genealogy and has traced our family name back to the 1400's. From there it gets murky due to the English not having surnames prior to William the Conqueror's conquest of Britian. My last name, Wickwire, is a corruption of the original Wickware which was a place name in England. All Wickwires are related and trace back to a single man, John Wickware who's name was changed to Wickwire by mistake in New London Connecticut 1792. So we are all cousins at some level. On the Scottish side I'm related to the McNabs who were kicked out of Scotland for horse thievery and then kicked out of Canada for organized crime before settling in the Southern US.

Some of my famous cousins were from Cortland New York.

The leading industry in Cortland in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century was the Wickwire Brothers wire drawing mill, noted for its production of wire hardware cloth for use as window screens. The extent of their wealth is commemorated in a pair of magnificent mansions, the Victorian gothic home of Chester Wickwire is now the "1890 House Museum and Center for the Victorian Arts" while the 1912 home of Charles Wickwire is now called the SUNY Cortland Alumni House and is owned and operated by the SUNY Cortland Alumni Association. It is open to the public as well as being used by the Alumni Association to host College related events and house visiting dignitaries.

Maybe your ancestors and mine waved to each other as they passed.

On my Dad's side, I'm Irish, and on my Mom's side, I'm mostly a mix of Irish and Scottish, but some of them arrived in Canada by way of the US, which they left with the other Loyalists during the American Revolution.
