Works fine for me. But there may be a problem going the other way.

I too have some Indian...Mohawk on my mother’s side. French Canadian too. On my Father’s side there’s a lot of Euro. Depending on which branch of history you follow, “Lenhart” is an alternate spelling of “Lionhart” as in “Richard The..”. So My blood is a bit blue.

If you go the other way, it’s an alternate spelling of “Leinhardt”, which puts me historically somewhere around Berlin.

So I am eternally undecided if I should look down my nose at people, Rule them, scalp them or simply invade and conquer.

I tell ya windy. It’s not easy being me.

;)

You sure about that? Because Richard's family name was Plantagenet, not Lionheart or Lionhearted. "Lion-Heart" was only his nickname, similar to Peter The Great, or Erik The Red, or Pedro The Cruel, or Ivan The Terrible, or Edward Longshanks, or Louis The Fat, or Obama The Foolhead/Dunderhead/Doganhead etc etc. In addition, he never spoke English, so his nickname was "Couer de Lion" == Heart of the Lion. In later times, as the French language waned in England, it would be anglicized to "Lionheart." (And no, Ethelred was not "Unready". Just terminally stupid is all.)
