I expect this has already been discussed, but if not


The only English Pope

Pope Adrian IV, born Nicholas Breakspear or Breakspeare, was Pope from 1154 to 1159. Adrian IV has been the only Englishman so far to occupy the papal chair. Wikipedia

White smoke coming from the chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel which means that a new Pope has been elected

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
