LOL Is he Scottish by any chance? Scots are renowned for not losing their accents when they move abroad (and for drinking of course....!)

He's from Wales...Newport, I think he said...We asked him once what kind of town Newport was...you know, was it a farming area, industrial, what kind of businesses were there? His answer was they had bars...and we asked what else...answer: alcoholics...I think he might have stayed in Newport just a little too long! :D

I wish you could. Pet behaviour is so entertaining. We have 2 bichons (much to my husband's disgust). One is a textbook bichon in appearance but she only has two brain cells. The other came from a puppy farm and has all sorts of problems - she doesn't actually look like a bichon poor thing. However, she's incredibly smart and learns little tricks easily. The bigger one is just constantly "incredibly happy" and she's enthusiastic all the time - basically because she hasn't got the intelligence to recall past experiences! She does however do something quite comical. She "guards" food. Sometimes when we give them a little dog biscuit, the little one plays with it for a short while and then eats it. But the big one takes it to a corner and guards it. She'll then proceed to carry it about with her all day - all the time watching her pal like a hawk whilst looking ridiculously delighted about the whole thing!

The welsh don't wear kilts :-) They are good fun though. When there is a rugby national in Scotland, they literally invade the place and the locals in every town love it because they are so jolly and they sing! The welsh are terrific singers. I've often wondered if there is something about their genes or their accents which makes them such good singers. They fill the pubs and they sing and they are always an entertaining attraction for the local people.

We have friends who enjoy it so much that they follow the welsh rugby just to soak up the singing and banter. They aren't welsh, but they follow the welsh rugby fans all over europe!

Hi Jayelles, the Welch don't wear kilts? :shrug: News to me. I didn't mind Rugby till my eldest took it up :shrug: Tom Jones comes from Wales :seeya:

Hi Sara, the Welch don't wear kilts? :shrug: News to me. I didn't mind Rugby till my eldest took it up :shrug: Tom Jones comes from Wales :seeya:


There is little evidence that the Welsh ever wore kilts (cilts) historically. Welsh tartans and Welsh cilts are modern inventions. Nevertheless, our Welsh tartans are still a very popular choice for those of Welsh descent who want to wear a historic style cilt, so we have made them available!

Hi Jayelles, the Welch don't wear kilts? :shrug: News to me. I didn't mind Rugby till my eldest took it up :shrug: Tom Jones comes from Wales :seeya:

Well they might wear them nowadays - but the kilt is traditionally associated with the Scots. Up here in the Highlands of Scotland, it's still quite commonplace to see men and boys wearing the kilt. Not so common farther south.

[Jayelles]

Me clan wears black watch. . .



Black Watch is a lovely tartan. My husband wears Cameron of Erracht which isn't so nice (IMO).

Hey Judi! I want to hear more about your job...you're really a prison officer? Do you work with male or female inmates? What type of crimes have they committed?

:seeya:

hey there maybaby! how are ya? well i work with males and really there are men i work with that have committed all sorts of crimes and also men who are just on trial for those crimes and they are all together! I dont think too much about what they are in for even though it can easily be found out. You do tend to lose your stereotype-thinking though, i have the biggest, hardest looking men in for like fraud/driving offences and skinny looking men in for murder/rape etc. I dont think our prisons are quite like yours for example there is not a shackle to be seen in our prisons lol My prison has all types of offences but the most 'dangerous' prisoners are sent to more higher security prisons. Ive actually got another job within the prison system and it is working directly with drug offenders helping them get out into the community and stay off drugs so im looking forward to starting that, ill still be working in my current prison.

[judi25uk]

Judi, I spend my days taking care of my babies...3 parrots, 2 kitties, a big fat Golden Retriever...and hubby...having the time of my life! Well, most of the time...:D I love being retired!

wow thats great:):) my mum and dad are coming up to their retirement and they are excited!! theyve been working so hard all their lives and im so happy for them that they can slow down. My dad grew up in Northern Ireland on a farm with 9 other brothers and sisters so he appreciates the small things in life and just cant wait to be able to relax and enjoy the family:) what sort of things do you get up to during the day then? just general errands and suchlike?

[FDInLaw]

Well FDInLaw between your coffee and your skirts I am awake. Thank you!!! Did you say SKIRTS????
:punch:














:tongue: :D :seeya: (It's a kelt (or celt) babe!)

[judi25uk]

hey people!! how are you all today? i have a day off work today YAY :):):) i was thinking there after my last post to maybaby and was wondering if you have time I would LOVE to see what everyones favourite 'simple things' in life are...you know those things that really make you smile and they are so simple. Ive been thinking about mine and there is SO many...one of the things i absolutely LOVE is getting a new lovely notebook and writing in it on the very first page, for me it makes me smile. I love smelling freshly washed laundry! i love coming home and seeing that my dishes have been washed and dried and put away! hehe well they may be a little strange but just a few to start you off...(if u have time!!) i would LOVE to see what other peoples are:):)

[judi25uk]

[FDInLaw]

Finding the dishes completely done is on my list as well. . . love that one! :)

Some others. . . waking up to the smell of a freshly brewed cappuccino (thank you Honey!).

Having a few moments to myself during nap/movie time in the afternoon to enjoy a cup of tea in peace.

Going for a walk after a summer rain.

A cup of chocolate ice cream. . . . yummmmmmmmmm.

lo i dont care that people call them kilts they will always be skirts!!! i think they are hideous and dont know what all the fuss is about!!!!!!! hehe
Now, how can you say that? Skirts are for ladies and tarts. A kilt, paired with a fine pair of (male) muscular legs, is a fine sight indeed! The problem is, some guys have NO business wearing one! :D

You are right of course and the men who wear them are real men with nothing to prove! Oddly enough, it's the wimpy types who tend to recoil from wearing them.

Several years ago, my husband and I were on a cruise which mainly consisted of American passengers. You have no idea how much harassment he experienced from American women! He was even groped twice going up stairs! Another passenger, an Irishman was spitting his teeth out because he hadn't brought his kilt with him :-)

[SaraSidle]

Did you say SKIRTS????

I wish you could. Pet behaviour is so entertaining. We have 2 bichons (much to my husband's disgust). One is a textbook bichon in appearance but she only has two brain cells. The other came from a puppy farm and has all sorts of problems - she doesn't actually look like a bichon poor thing. However, she's incredibly smart and learns little tricks easily. The bigger one is just constantly "incredibly happy" and she's enthusiastic all the time - basically because she hasn't got the intelligence to recall past experiences! She does however do something quite comical. She "guards" food. Sometimes when we give them a little dog biscuit, the little one plays with it for a short while and then eats it. But the big one takes it to a corner and guards it. She'll then proceed to carry it about with her all day - all the time watching her pal like a hawk whilst looking ridiculously delighted about the whole thing!

Don't you just lov'em? :)

[Maybaby59]

The welsh don't wear kilts :-) They are good fun though. When there is a rugby national in Scotland, they literally invade the place and the locals in every town love it because they are so jolly and they sing! The welsh are terrific singers. I've often wondered if there is something about their genes or their accents which makes them such good singers. They fill the pubs and they sing and they are always an entertaining attraction for the local people.

We have friends who enjoy it so much that they follow the welsh rugby just to soak up the singing and banter. They aren't welsh, but they follow the welsh rugby fans all over europe!

Apparently our friend didn't inherit this gene! http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc297/maybaby59/281eeyp.gif

hey there maybaby! how are ya? well i work with males and really there are men i work with that have committed all sorts of crimes and also men who are just on trial for those crimes and they are all together! I dont think too much about what they are in for even though it can easily be found out. You do tend to lose your stereotype-thinking though, i have the biggest, hardest looking men in for like fraud/driving offences and skinny looking men in for murder/rape etc. I dont think our prisons are quite like yours for example there is not a shackle to be seen in our prisons lol My prison has all types of offences but the most 'dangerous' prisoners are sent to more higher security prisons. Ive actually got another job within the prison system and it is working directly with drug offenders helping them get out into the community and stay off drugs so im looking forward to starting that, ill still be working in my current prison.

Judi, thanks for the info...that's interesting about the stereotypes that we have...just goes to show you can't always tell by looking! :)

wow thats great:):) my mum and dad are coming up to their retirement and they are excited!! theyve been working so hard all their lives and im so happy for them that they can slow down. My dad grew up in Northern Ireland on a farm with 9 other brothers and sisters so he appreciates the small things in life and just cant wait to be able to relax and enjoy the family:) what sort of things do you get up to during the day then? just general errands and suchlike?

That's about it...no more than I want to do...I spent so many years taking care of hubby and our home and working full time that I figure I deserve it now...I cook a big meal twice a week if hubby is lucky! I plan on us eating leftovers and eating out the rest of the time...the biggest part of my day revolves around our babies...playing with them and taking care of them...plus I do a little bit of work, if you want to call it that, with rescuing kitties...The two kitties we have now both came from our neighborhood and I have been fortunate enough to get others from here placed in homes or with a rescue organization...

I just hate it when people throw their pets away! :flamemad:

I've been trying to find my family tartan for YEARS!!!

The clan name is\was Argue...yeah-insert argue joke here...

The family left Scotland during the Reformation, and spend quite while in Ireland, before emigrating to Canada, then The US. There's still a bunch of us in the north-western part of Pennsylvania-near Bradford-in a VERY tiny town called Cyclone...yeah-insert small town\catastrophic weather joke here...

I've never been able to track the tartan down, except for one of those "find your family crest\geneology" type sites where you have to pay for the info.

Anoyone in the know about this stuff??

[Maybaby59]

hey people!! how are you all today? i have a day off work today YAY :):):) i was thinking there after my last post to maybaby and was wondering if you have time I would LOVE to see what everyones favourite 'simple things' in life are...you know those things that really make you smile and they are so simple. Ive been thinking about mine and there is SO many...one of the things i absolutely LOVE is getting a new lovely notebook and writing in it on the very first page, for me it makes me smile. I love smelling freshly washed laundry! i love coming home and seeing that my dishes have been washed and dried and put away! hehe well they may be a little strange but just a few to start you off...(if u have time!!) i would LOVE to see what other peoples are:):)

Judi, this is a great idea...I love

watching my kitties play...listening to my crazy parrots chattering amongst themselves...looking at the smile on my Golden's face

watching the Cardinals bringing their babies to the feeder on my patio...

coming home from running errands and finding that hubby has washed the dishes...(I think everybody loves this one!)

watching my garden grow

thunderstorms...and the sound of rain on a tin roof

finding a short check-out line at Walmart

actually seeing the doctor on time whenever we have appointments

turning on the faucet and hot water coming out

and last for now...hitting the submit button and my post showing up immediately! (which hasn't been happening today!)

Yeah-that IS the same family, but they left out several branches...and the Scots origin, too. My mom has Grandpa Chris's Journal, which states this.

My great-grandfather was Christopher Armstrong Argue, married to Cora Jean Pfouts, children-in no particular order-Florence, Clara, Agnes, Zella, Arlene, Izora, Lenore (my maternal grandmother), Earl, Wesley, Herbert, I hope I'm not missing anyone...Grandpa Chris was a Methodist minister and also worked on the oil wells in Cyclone, PA, and Lewis Run, PA...and the family also took in several orphans. Several of the children were born in Stittsville, Ontario, including my Grandma Lenore.

I'm going to have to scan the Journal and post the info...

Thanks for what you found!!!

Hi Samantha Jane,

I had the same problem. I had ran across another website that had my name misspelled on it. It had many errors. Miss matched spouses as well as not including all the marriages. My little sister being older than me, etc…

I did a little more research and contacted them by phone. They too, insisted that they were right~!! After even longer conversation, I realized I had met these people once, and taken a picture of them in my parent’s home.

You would have thought that after I sent them that picture, as proof, they would have changed their information. BUT NO~!!!!!

They even seemed to screw up the additional information that I had given them, as well as sharing my private e-mail with someone SPECIFICALLY ASKED THEM NOT TOO~!!

Needless to say, it made me mad.:flamemad:

Here is the ironic part, not only is their website full of fiction, the people writing it are TEACHERS~!!!:confused:


You would think that a Teacher would want to keep the facts straight~!!! :shrug:



I agree these people need a good smack :punch:

[samanthajane13]

Yeah-the irritating thing is that I've got the info on Scotland in my great-grandfather's own hand...I have to get his Journal from my mom and scan the pages, then I'm gonna shove them down Deb's throat-via e-mail.

And regarding my maternal grandfather-who's stll alive-why the Hell wouldn't he know how to spell his OWN NAME??? And I lived n his house for 18 years with my mom and grandma-and collected the mail daily...so I don't know how to spell his name, either???

It annoys me to no end when these a-holes put themselves up as experts on geneology, and they don't know s#it, and won't accept correct info from the family members who DO know.

And then telling me that my mom, myself and my daughters AREN'T "legitimate" members of the family...like we were adopted, born out of wed-lock, or there's some question as to who our parents are...

Thems FIGHTING WORDS in just about EVERY family I know of.

I'd personally like to travel up to Ontario and kick some SNOTTY Canuck AZZ.

Maybe that would convince her of our SCOTTISH HERITAGE and get her to amend the family tree!!!

And the sad thing is, living about 10 blocks from the Peace Bridge, in Buffalo, NY, I have LOTS of Canadian friends...they aren''t ALL that way.

My on-line family heritage is just controlled by a JacKAZZ!!!

[LetsBeConcerned]

Dear samanthajane13,

I hope that this census record helps you. I wasn't sure when your family imigrated to america, so I just picked this one.

I also hope that you will be able to enlarge it to read the details.

There are more, but I don't know how much help they would be, since I don't much and what you are looking for.

:seeya:


http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa288/glasscup6/argue.gif

[samanthajane13]

Thank you, LBC!

I don't know how much help it will be, either.

Actually, the info I'm looking for is the Argue family crest and tartan, and where in Scotland the famly lived-which I've only been able to "locate" on one of those "pay for your family heritage" sites-where you pay for them to send you a scroll with the crest-and what it means, and a picture of your plaid, then you can order mugs, plaques and other assorted dust-collecting crap-ONLY from them of course...which is a crock of you-know-what, because if THEY have access to the info, why can't I find it???

Our family-according to Grandpa Chris's Journal-travelled from Scotland to Ireland around or after the time of the Scottish Reformation-around 1560, from what I can find in the history of Scotland...to escape religious persecution. From what I do know, the family has been Methodist for ages, and when Mary Queen of Scots-a Catholic-took the throne, there was a lot of fear that she would try to restore the country to Catholicism, so I'm assuming the Protestants took that as a BIG HINT to pack up and leave. So the family headed to Ireland.

Or maybe it was that they were Catholic at that point, and didn't want to have to deal with Henry VIII after his divorce...either way, it had to do with the "wrong" religion coming into power, and them leaving the country.

It's a lot to take in, and there's a lot of conjecture, because, of course we don't know exactly when they left, where they came from, etc...there are just too many variables.

We do know that when they hit Ireland, they settled in and around County Cavan, then later moved on the Ontario, Canada, and from there, to the US.

So it looks like, if I want that info, I'm going to have to exhaust a lot of time and effort, but I'll do that before I'll shell out money to some company who may not even be legit!!!

How do I know they aren't just sending me any old plaid swatch and a coat of arms some idiot photo-shopped??

I don't trust them as far as I can throw them.

[samanthajane13]

LBC-

Any idea where I can get a hard copy of that census report??? Where did it come from???

The top entry is my great-grandpa the second is great-grandma Cora, the third is my Aunt Florence, and the 4this Grandma Lenore!!! Now I have to fnd her Immigration card!!! I know Mom has it...SOMEWHERE!!!

Anyway-even though it isn't the info I need, I'd LOVE to have a hard copy. The .gif is sort of hard to read, no matter what I've done to sharpen it.

BIG HUGS-

The top entry is my great-grandpa the second is great-grandma Cora, the third is my Aunt Florence, and the 4this Grandma Lenore!!! Now I have to fnd her Immigration card!!! I know Mom has it...SOMEWHERE!!!

Anyway-even though it isn't the info I need, I'd LOVE to have a hard copy. The .gif is sort of hard to read, no matter what I've done to sharpen it.

BIG HUGS-
Donna
:D

Hello Donna,

Isn’t that FUN~!!!

I personally found that one by going to my local library website. I got a library card from that library for this reason and it was free~!!! If I wanted to do more research I would have to go and use the computers at the library.

There are actually many libraries and websites that have the same information. Some of them do charge a membership fee.

Why pay for something that you can get for FREE~!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, most of everything that I had on genealogy is saved on my old computer that crashed. What that computer holds on its hard drive, is absolutely PRICELESS as well as irreplaceable~!!!!!!!!

I think that the best place to get a hard copy would be from the National Archives. I think that there are less than 20, but would assume that they have one in New York, (or Two):D

There are also others, some not so complete, and others transcribed and the spelling is a bit off, which makes the information hard to find.

Each census record ask different questions… besides where you are from, read and write, indoor plumbing, own a radio, etc…. but you can get details like what street they lived on, etc…

I thought you would like (the census record) that it shows your grandma as the 2nd born about 1908, not the 5th child.

You might be able to get a better copy from another website. There are also websites that only offer the form with the questions (which are easier to read); I will see what I have printed out, as the forms go.

Anyway, let me know what you come up with… It seems that our families lived in the same countries and came here from different directions… I too, would love to find out more~!!!

Best wishes,
LBC

I know that Grandma was 2nd born...(I was having problems remembering all the aunts and uncles, so I just listed them-by gender-as they came to mind)...and passed away February 7th, 2000.

The year before,we'd had a very special Mother's day. Her 90th b-day fell on May 9th, which was Mother's Day, and it was also the day Katey made her First Communion. So we had a LOT to celebrate!!!

Wow I really miss y'all. I espcially like Spanky and I have forgotten to post the Elf with the big stick. He rules this garden like a mean troll. He would not let me come out to play at ALL. Poor Elfinrow!!
i promised to post his picture and since he is so mean I will do it NOW. I ate all the strawberries, tried to survive off of them, then the "people" put up a fence to save me from the deer and their nibbling at night. I could not, for the life of me, get OUT!!!

I'm FREE!!!!!!!

hehe

I ran in to him the other day at the Home Depot gardening section….I was thinking of you and tried to talk to him… He was kinda snoody and wouldn’t say a word to me~!!!:(


Maybe we should ask Snow White or maybe Rumpel Stiltskin. :biggrin:

They could be of better help~!

Hi Everyone! I forgot I had logged on here as well, maybe after Court TV changed. Well, nice to see everyone old and new nics. IS still down, I mostly lurk there, have to grow some thick skin some days to get in a conversation, just me though.

Saw the post on Tartan question, I found our Clan at Ancestralscotland.com
just type in family name, info should come up.

:seeya:

[Canadian Bum]

Yeah-the irritating thing is that I've got the info on Scotland in my great-grandfather's own hand...I have to get his Journal from my mom and scan the pages, then I'm gonna shove them down Deb's throat-via e-mail.

And regarding my maternal grandfather-who's stll alive-why the Hell wouldn't he know how to spell his OWN NAME??? And I lived n his house for 18 years with my mom and grandma-and collected the mail daily...so I don't know how to spell his name, either???

It annoys me to no end when these a-holes put themselves up as experts on geneology, and they don't know s#it, and won't accept correct info from the family members who DO know.

And then telling me that my mom, myself and my daughters AREN'T "legitimate" members of the family...like we were adopted, born out of wed-lock, or there's some question as to who our parents are...

Thems FIGHTING WORDS in just about EVERY family I know of.

I'd personally like to travel up to Ontario and kick some SNOTTY Canuck AZZ.

Maybe that would convince her of our SCOTTISH HERITAGE and get her to amend the family tree!!!

And the sad thing is, living about 10 blocks from the Peace Bridge, in Buffalo, NY, I have LOTS of Canadian friends...they aren''t ALL that way.

My on-line family heritage is just controlled by a JacKAZZ!!! ..........................:chicken: :D

Fortunately I have a son-in-law that is in heating and air conditioning otherwise I'd have to wait a lot longer than 2 days to get it fixed. It would cost a lot more too.
