My Scottish ancestors were the owners of Bombay, India. They were granted rulership of it by the UK for helping them do something (fight the Jacobites?).

The majority of my ancestors on one side were Swedish. They came over before WWI, some fought in that, and when they came home they formed a rumrunning mob in Prohibition. A lot of my ancestors were rumrunners, actually.
