My family spread out a fair bit back in the old days. We started in Sweden, but spread out all over. Sometimes through fair trade. Sometimes less fair trade. We settled lands that were not inhabited. Other times we settled lands that WERE inhabited but not fully utilized. One of the more interesting ironies of history is that at one time we settled in a land on the edge of the sea on the main European continent. We were there long enough they named the land after us North Men. It is now called Normandy. A lot of raiders and invaders have come to and from that coast over the centuries. You might say my family has been involved in more than one of them.
