I've even been to Ishpeming, at least once. <BR/><BR/>Turns out that on my father's side, I am Mayflower irish, which means I'm tenth generation here in the USA, but trust me, we're still pretty Irish. A couple of weekends ago we had a family reunion around my Dad's 80th birthday, and I came away with the realization, after meeting and talking to aunts, uncles, and cousins that I hadn't seen in decades, that we really ARE a family of redheads: you know, high maintenance, but lots of fun. And pretty witty on the verbal side, too. Huh. The Celtic diaspora continues apace.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Art Durkeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463180236975988432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24425707.post-1149503496567795832006-06-05T11:31:00.000+01:002006-06-05T11:31:00.000+01:00Love the poem, Minx!

You know, scrapbooking has a technique whereby you can get colour photocopying done on acid-free paper and the copy obtained will outlast the original pictures. Perhaps you could duplicate your picture that way and then it could be scanned.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490560370211095502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24425707.post-1149443881865277682006-06-04T18:58:00.000+01:002006-06-04T18:58:00.000+01:00Wow how amazing that you have traced your family s...Wow how amazing that you have traced your family so far back. It's amazing the stories (and poetry) that can come out of so much history. But here's another snippet. The Cornish Tin Miners didn't only provide labour. Empanadas in Latin America are based on Cornish Pasties, but with that Latin American twist: tuna, tomato sauce and olives... yum. I think they also took football!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533913253403252799noreply@blogger.com
