Hi Lydart,

Sorry, couldn't resist.    At least they have famous relatives and ancestors (not one interesting thing ever seemed to happen to any of mine).

Winnie the Pooh, Paddington, and of course, you can trace them back to 1902 and the Steiff bear.  ;D

Now you could be onto something there !  Maybe Steiff Bear is my bears Gateway Ancestor to take them back to royal bears, and perhaps even William the Conquerbear !
