It’s a great heritage to have. Lots of mixed breeding i.e. Norman’s, French, English, Roman. The cows are iconic and known worldwide. The island itself is beautiful and very close to the Normandy beaches. My mother was a child on the island during the occupation and has some fascinating stories about German/ Islander interaction.
That is interesting. The town historian said the founding families named the village “The Jersey Settlement” because it reminded them of home. But the next little town over was settled by Germans for the same reason.
We are also close to beaches....on big muddy river that is.
