~Family Tree~

The other day I typed my maiden name, my dads family

name into my browser.. My family has a website looking

for family members. I wrote to one of the guys that put the

web page together and I sent the information I have.. My

family tree goes back to the 1600 when some men from

Kent County, England came over and settled the Plymouth

Colony in Scituate, MA.. My ancestor Sire Walter was one of

those 10 men.. If you squint you can read the tree...

My family tree was put together with help by my grandfather, my

dads dad.. Irwell..my dad is the 9th generation..I am 10th.. and I

am on this family tree..I wish I could continue it as I have told my

son about it and I hope it can be carried on.. I plan to phone my

cousin Ronnie as he is one of the last of the family besides his

brother Patrick, and his two sons.. I would like for this family tree

to survive.. I was told my line would be added to the page. Its

most interesting as the site even has photos of the old grave

stones..

When I read my copy of my family tree I was very impressed with

the detail they went to ... it states what every male member did..
One of my ancestors. Menatable..was a witness at a witchcraft

trial of Sara Ingram in 1676. Most of the men, which I found most

interesting, were surveyors.. My Grandfather was and I was so

surprised to see that go down thru the generations.. It took my

grandfather over 20 years to put this family tree together..and I

am on it.. I wish I could get in touch with my cousins to add all

of the children to it.. I made copies with my scanner but it just

doesn't do it justice.. I don't know who has the original.. I wish I

did..But according to the tree my dads family came over from

Kent County England and my mother was born in Cornwall..I

have deep roots in the UK it seems..:-)

We had some serious storms last nite and tornado watches all

over here and in Indiana.. The lightning lit up the whole house..

and what gets me the guy says,"if you have a basement, I

strongly suggest you go there immediately" I just sit and listen

to it.. I cant get down mine..It could be done but that would be

only if they moved the stairs..now they go down 4 steps,, and

turn and go down about 7 more into the basement.. I would just

ride it out up here rather than kill myself falling down the steps

to the basement.. it would amount to where did I wanna get

killed...and how..tornado or self inflicted.. I'll face the tornado.

If I went into the hallway where I spilt the mac and cheese I

think that would be about the safest place in here.. Only one

problem is the boys..they wouldn't stay right by me..When I

was in the apt.. I always hid us in the bathroom and I kept

their cat carrier in there and I put them in it until the storm

passed.. I have to think of them too.. I should keep their carrier

up here but I don't have enough room in my bathroom since I

have to have that clothes rack in there for my clothes to hang

on, which incidentally is falling apart and I have to replace it.

with only 1 tiny closet and all my clothes, its just not big enuff..

Well I have some left over spaghetti in the fridge and I have

to say it is REALLY good.. Your invited to come for dinner if

you like..:-) Time for food and to get out of this chair for today,

first I gotta write my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear ? Love ya and THANKS!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless you, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again.....
