The newly placed "P" in my id is my from my maiden name (Palmer). Fully British on dad's side of the family. It's been about 350 years since the family left for the colonies, but what's a few generations among friends? I'm sure I've got Brit relatives still living in GB somewhere.

Have you ever looked into your ancestry, JB?

Only back to 1684 when Sgt John Palmer emigrated to Massachusetts.

1684!!!! Shocked

Only that far back, eh?

I hope they were from Manchester...

I feel a kinship, I really do!

I went to school with a Donald Palmer. Do you know him?

His nickname was "Peasmould" (as he could do a perfect impression of Peasmould J Gruntfuttock, from the TV/Radio Goon Show-?-), .....and I wondered whether you would want to adopt this nickname for yourself now, on A2K, seeing as there is a family connection?

Oops. I had it wrong, he emigrated in 1639. I just checked the book my sister compiled and found:

Quote:
John Palmer, SGT. born approx 1620 in Rowley, England, and died June 17, 1695 in Rowley, MA. Married Ruth Acye Sept 17, 1645 in Rowley, MA, daughter of William Acye and Margaet Haiton. She was born in Kirk Ella, Yorkshire, England and died Oct 13, 1649 in Rowley, MA. He married Margaret Northend Cross daughter of John Northend and Elizabeth Cole. She was born March 1619/1620 In Rowley, Ripplingham, Yorkshire, England.


My ancestry is through the children of the second marriage.

LE, I'm sure I would make a perfect Goon.

Therefore, from now on, I will always think of you as Josephine Peasmould Bottywobbler.

At least your ancestors are from the NORTH, JB

Must have been very decent folk...

Recently been to The Bronte Parsonage in Howarth, a lovely place, very atmosperic if you go up on the Moors, you can imagine Heathcliffe calling to Cathy.

I love it there...

<Ellpus suddenly appears, wearing pink disco trousers and singing into a hairbrush whilst furiously wiggling bottom in time to the groovy beat of a 70's dance number...>

"Heaven...must be missing an angel......"

Oh, hello! Didn't see you there.

It's my Tuesday 6pm amoebic workout, I think the Doctor called it. Good for the blood circulation and all that. Cheers me up no end.

<switches music video off, puts down hairbrush>

Well? What's been happening?
