Continued from Christmas Songs of My Ancestors: Irish
Prior to my early American ancestors' migration to the New World from England, my family tree is filled with several centuries of primarily English ancestors. They were scattered about England, south to north.
This offering is an old traditional English Christmas carol sung in Middle English (spoken roughly from the 12th to 15th centuries).
love these songs. Keep 'em coming
ReplyDeleteBarbara, from now until Christmas! :)
DeleteOf all the English ancestors I have traced, and it is well over a dozen different families, they all come from Northern England. I'm guessing poverty was an issue since most of them tended to be working in the mines or woolen mills.
ReplyDeleteEd, interesting. They weren't farmers? Occupations always paint a more interesting picture.
