There are Ulrikes and Ulrikes. It is a smaller representation and infrequent
in the British Isles, so got no story in Bryan Sykes book. My Ulrike is,
perhaps, smaller still among Ulrikes. Bryan Sykes himself, at a Smithsonian
book signing said to me about my Ulrike these bits of info: My gene
configuration was "old" (my guess this means that I only have 2 mutations);
My gene configuration was "Eurasian" in origin; My gene configuration was
from Finland. (I have no documented ancestors from that part of the
world...I concluded I had some connection to the New Sweden colony in today's
Deleware).

I have "met" other Ulrikes on this list, but none with my particular
configuration.
