Ok, we have 116 posts on Puff's thread and it's getting a bit cumbersome...so here I go!!

I'll bore you into submission with this one!!

Genealogy is another one of my favorites. I'm back to 1390 on one of my mother's families. Also on her side I'm back to pre-1771. Puff would like that 5 great grandfather's back, even though he was a Methodist minister...he was an interesting bloke! (He was English, so I had to go with English terminology).

My mother and many of her cousins were very much into geneology - on her side. Dad's side doesn't go back any further than Ellis Island on the Swedish side - Swedish geneology being insanely difficult to trace if you don't know an awful lot to begin with! So Ma knew how we were related to almost everyone ... and Dad said - "Ah, we probably don't wanna know on my side anyway - probably all Russian horse-thieves or something!"

Karen, on my dad's side, my great grandparents came over from Sweden, their name was Anderson...oh goody...and settled in Chicago. My dad's other side is Quinn (16th most common name in Ireland) and my great grandmother came over from Ireland with the name of Murphy (number 1 most common name in Ireland!).

So, Puff,,,,which Anglo-Saxon group are we talking about?

mugsy
07-27-2002, 02:29 PM
Well I guess since it's eclectic it can be just about anything you want it to be. I just started it off being about genealogy....but take any tack you want to take!! That's kind of the fun of the whole thing.

mugsy
07-27-2002, 04:41 PM
He is a nice looking kid and I know I've seen him in movies...can you help me out here? As for the girlfriend...they're disposable! lol j/k. Until there's a wedding ring on the finger, he's fair game. At least that's what I was told. Thankfully I don't have to worry about it anymore!!! lol

Rottieluver45
07-27-2002, 04:44 PM

mugsy

Oh God I'm old!! Do you realize that I'm easily old enough to be his mother??? Sheesh....this is depressing! lol But then, most of you guys are young enough to be my kids...scary thought eh? And it explains a lot that I haven't seen any of those movies, although I would like to get Pearl Harbor and Blackhawk Down. Isn't Blackhawk Down based on a true story??

Speaking of movies...did anyone here see Windtalkers?? I wanted to see that so badly, but it left the theaters before I got there.

Going back to the geneagolic topic, I saw my family name in a Database of deceded soldiers on The American Civil War :confused:.What hell where doing my ancestries in the ACW! :rolleyes:

I must say that i have a uncommon name,and I'm affraid that it will disapear,because most of my family's males are priests and I have an only brother (and many,many sisters!) who is expecting (his wife :D) a baby who is a girl, so we are back square No.1.

This soldiers originally came from Wales or Ireland I don't remember :confused:. As far I know my ancestries not even crossed a river to settle down where we are right now :D

FrostFrog (AKA The Duck,that not The Duke): Would you mind moving to The Eclectic Thread "Second Round" so we can get the pleasure to read your posts.

You must go to the Black Knight and tell him what I said...

Aspen and Misty
07-27-2002, 11:15 PM
Marmots are large, about the size of a housecat, charismatic sciurid rodents found in the Northern Hemisphere. The only US holiday named after an animal, Groundhog Day, is named after a marmot. Visitors to many alpine parks and recreational areas in North America, Europe, and Asia see and are entertained by marmots in their natural habitats. In some parts of the world marmot meat is a delicacy and their fur is prized. And, marmot's behavior, ecology, physiology, and population biology is studied throughout the world.

The Marmot Burrow is your single resource for marmot-related popular and scientific information. The Burrow is periodically up-dated with references, diagrams, photographs, and tape-recordings.

Sheesh...see I go away for a couple of hours and I have 5 pages of catching up to do....

Ok, koxka, interesting that you have ancestors who fought in the war. If you would like me to, I will go to our library and see what I can find on your family. Fort Wayne's library is the 2nd best genealogy department in the country. I would be happy to help if I can. Just let me know. And I LOVE the American Civil War.

Karen
07-28-2002, 12:00 AM
That was too disgusting, so I took it out.

You guys should really be Private Messaging, instead of posting, as this has become just a back-and-forth between the two of you, and isn't really of general interest ... and Black Knight has not yet responded to his/her confirmation email, so that's why Aspen & Misty, you can't PM him/her.

mugsy
07-28-2002, 12:05 AM
Karen, does this mean we need to stop posting here all together??

Karen
07-28-2002, 12:08 AM
No, just try to keep it less chat-like, meaning I guess, make sure what you post is interesting to more than one person. If you just want to say a small thing to one person, email or PM that person. I'm posting this here so everyone will see my answer, but often for a simple questions I will PM folks.

mugsy
07-28-2002, 12:23 AM

My dad's parents came over from Norway - I was glad to hear about the difficulty with Swedish geneaology; does that apply to Scandinavians in general? My mom was raised in Alberta by her All-American mom and veddy British Dad. That was back in the early 1900's, and I found some pics of Grandpa on a web page for Alberta and Western Canada. He ranch-handed and managed, according to what I was told. I am going to research more online soon, as I have a family Bilbe that has a birth record going back in England to the 1600's. Should be fun!
I like this thread, Mugsy - Puff, please understand that there is a time to post, and a time to PM.
Oh, and old as I am, Josh Hartnett is defintely a talented cutie!

Puffin, what everyone is trying to say, very bluntly, is that this forum is about Pets and general matters relating to Pets and you are not acting in a way that makes it fun for the majority of us. It is not about YOU and a bunch on nonsense. It is a forum, not a chat room.

You are disruptive and a pain in the neck. You need to grow up and come back when you can be an asset to this forum and not a brat!

Thank you.

The Genealogy post would have been very interesting, the rest is a waste of time and rubbish. I agree, there are many places that one can go to do this kind of chat if that is the kind of thing one likes, I would suggest you start your own Puffin chat and not expose the rest of us to this silly chatter.

Since I am already the bad guy here in at least one person's eyes, I might as well just go all the way. My question to those of you who have so much trouble with these eclectic threads, why do you bother reading them? We are in the "general" area not in any of the other 3 areas. This is supposed to be a place to have fun and you guys are making not fun at all. I suggest, since everyone seems to be making suggestions, that you just not bother clicking on the eclectic threads and stick to the other ones. That's what I do if I'm not interested in what someone has to say. Just lighten up a bit.

Former User
07-28-2002, 10:07 AM
Yeah, the whole General area is full of this Puffin stuff, it's getting so annoying! General used to be fun to check out, but it ain't no more!

Aspen and Misty
07-28-2002, 02:26 PM
I agree with Mugsy and RottieLover. (Althougth me and Puffin did take up like 5 pages of chatrook like talk. LOL.) We just wanna talk about well anything with the people who we talk about our pets to. So Puffin started this thread. If you just wanna talk about pets then egnore (sp) this thread and continue on.

07-28-2002, 02:31 PM
Did any of you "chatters" read this before you signed up? This is not a chat room for your use, it is a forum to exchange comments, ideas, etc. about Pets. Get with the program. Go chat with each other some other place. This is not a chat room.
