User:Anketil

User:Anketil I am a retired medical practitioner with an especial interest in micro-businesses (being a past National Chairman of the National Federation of Self-employed & Small Businesses Ltd. (the FSB - Not to be confused with the Russian Secret Service!) I have a passion for heraldry and genealogy and was the editor of "The Heraldry Gazette" for five years. I am also a member of the Guild of One-Name Studies (fondly referred to as GOONS) especially since I have a very rare surname. It is because of this that I have called myself "Anketil' since he is the first recorded member of my family. He descended from Vikings who settled in Normandy before being invited over to England by William to help him administer his new lands. I have lived in London, Birmingham and Leamington Spa before moving to the Haute Anjou region of France on retirement. I am married and with three grown up children all with their own families.
