    Wellington is a quaint old place even today. It is a place where the higher echelons of indian military establishment go for higher studies on military strategy.

    Has Billy done a dna test in ancestry or 23andme to see his family line?
    I've watched a few of these video's and haven't figured out yet how they're tracing their family line back to across the sea to the UK and other countries..
    I have 1% Congo with a few other areas with it in my dna but I can't find my link yet..
    Your lucky Bill congratulations
