Celtic Festival Fun

Last year we were fortunate to volunteer at the Celtic Festival here in New Mexico. E and I got an incredible history lesson on the Clan Kerr. This Scottish Clan was known for their left handed fighters and reverse spiral staircases. Whether born, bred or trained this Clan found great success with their left handed strategies.  While there seems to be some studies stating people with the surname Kerr are more likely to be left handed some state there is no significant increase. If your surname is Kerr, weigh in and let me know, are you a righty or a lefty?

While the scientist seem to be divided, all I know is that going against the grain has its advantages for the Clan Kerr and made for a real cool story to hear.

With St. Patrick’s Day coming up soon we are going through all the photos from last year and looking forward to Celtic Festival this year. If you are exploring your Celtic Roots make sure you  check the vendor tables for stories, lineages, maps and genealogical societies. Don’t forget to check out all the free records the major companies are providing this month too!
