<div>My guess is that Otto Friedrich's account may be the most accurate: </div>
<div>"Both Florence Grieg and Edvard Grieg were actually descended from a fierce Scottish tribe known as the MacGregors, who claimed a royal descent from Griogair, son of Alpin, King of the Scots in the eighth century."</div>
<div><font face="tahoma"></font> </div>
<div><font face="tahoma">If in fact the closest common ancestor dates from the 8th century, as Friedrich suggest, Florence Gould's imagination may indeed have been a bit florid.</font></div>

<div> it's interesting to read in the letters how willing gould was to accept the family connection with his " uncle edvard ". but was there really a direct blood line between the two ? the whole thing seems a bit tenuous. as an aside,
i guess he never did play or record the work with which uncle ed delighted liszt . ( i would love to be wrong about this ? ........ ) too bad. that would have made a marvelous x ray. </div>
