Family Coat of Arms

Between rounds of his recent golf and whisky trip to Scotland, Stan was able to research the family tree at genealogical record centers in Edinburgh, St. Andrews and Aberdeen, tracing the lineage of Peter Jackson, the great-great grandfather of Beverly Rolfsrud.
Confirmation was received yesterday that Jackson, who immigrated to New York in 1859, was actually the bastard son of Sir George McDonald and Victoria Walpole, and then was adopted and given his Christian name by Adam and Maybelle Jackson. This discovery makes Beverly's children the rightful heirs to the Royal Bank of Scotland and confers upon her eldest son, by right of primogeniture, the title "Duke of Forada."
