Was once (now officially "retired", but still developing software and flogging it over 
the web).  I worked with a Ukrainian chap whose ancestors were Cossacks.  We used to 
joke that his family were raping and pillaging across Eastern Europe while mine were 
doing the same across Western Europe.  ("Guy" is derived from the Germanic "Wido" which 
means "From the Woods" - which explains my interest in family trees - half my family 
were in them!)
