In case you’re curious, some of my homies came from right here (red dot):

Information on Byre, Norway (As you may have surmised, “Byre” does indeed rhyme with “Beer”) Puppet history traces back to some dude named Peder (b. ca. 1250-1260).  His kid Ogmund was a knight, lawyer and member of the government.  The amazing part is that I can trace a pretty much unbroken line from 1260 to emigration to the US in the 1850s. (By “I,” I mean some old relatives who don’t park their asses in front of the weather channel)
