... told to knock it off by his aunt. Something is going on there, I'll find out after they've all died.

I dunno...all I know is supposedly Steve's grandma was born on the boat coming over from Sweden, after going home from England in disgrace. So he's pure Swede, except for that bit of Englishman...purportedly. After arriving in the States, his grandmother's mother married a Swede that advertised in the paper for a swedish bride. A decent man, apparently...by all accounts.

Steve's dad was pure Swede, except for somewhere or other a german got in the mix, because our last name is german.

Me? I'm a Heinz 57. But mom has us traced all the way back to the Revolution. We even had one guy that sided with the King...oops! Nobody named their kids after him, and he went back to England, only to return a while later.

My mom can tell you all about it.
