For anyone who ever said that English is a dumb or boring language... The Lord's Prayer in Anglo-Saxon English (Old English): Fæder úre, ðú ðe eart on heofonum, Sí ðín nama gehálgod. Tó becume ðín rice. Gewurde ðín willa On eorþan swá swá on heofonum. Urne dægwhamlícan hlaf syle ús tódæg. And forgyf ús úre gyltas, Swá swá wé forgyfaþ úrum gyltendum. And ne gelæd ðu ús on costnunge, Ac álýs ús of yfele. Sóþlice. Listen to it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wl-OZ3breE

Haha well my family is actually descended from Vikings who invaded southern England. First they invaded northern France (Normandy) and lived there for a few hundred years, then went north to England.
My family name come's from where we lived. It comes from the old English "Sudh" (south) and "Tun" (town). So we were the family of South Town. Of course that later became "Sutton."
On a side note, I think the surname "Norton" probably came from words denoting the family of North Town...
