@saab,
hahaha! I'm guessing you meant
lone figure. A Loon is a bird..and also another name for someone a bit left-of-center.
From my mother a mix of "Kreiseler" the German Violin Composer, "Stokler" (not sure who he was) "Afonso de Albuquerque" Viceroy of India for the Portuguese Empire in the XV century and ilegitimate descendent of Jonh the II King of Portugal. From my father side a mix of small nobility status "Barros Matos" and country side burguesy,"Neves", from which I had a gran gran father, a natural adventurer, that went to Africa hidden in a ship only 9 years old and that made a small fortune from the ground up trading in diamonds...
@Fil Albuquerque,
Great family history. Thanks for sharing. Been to Portugal a couple of times, mostly around Lisbon, but also to Porto for their wines.
