The Sunday Mail has run an article today claiming that J.K.Rowling has secretly been chasing her Scottish roots.

Anthony Adolph, a family tree expert apparently began investigating her roots with the help of her Aunt, Marian Fox.

Quote:

Anthony has traced Rowling's roots back to her ancestors in the early 19th century. He said: 'None appear to have been anything out of the ordinary. There would not seem to be anything to suggest that their descendant would become such a fantastic, imaginative writer.

'Then I uncovered this incredible Scottish doctor. His extraordinary life perhaps hints at the career of his extraordinary great-granddaughter."

Yesterday, Rowling's publicist said the author did not want to discuss her family tree.

She doesn't need to tell everyone about it. She's right not to talk about it.

That sounds great. I hope she finds her family that she is looking for.

I understand that she doesn't really want everyone to know about it, but I hope she finds something interesting.

I guess it's cool if she wants to find her family roots, but it really is her business and only her business.
