No, where was it? The Abe Lincoln thread?

It was in here. He wanted to know whether your dad was in the RN or a merchant sailor.

Yep it originated there but I copy & paste part of that "Abe Lincoln" thread here...

I asked if your father was in RN (then Mike answered that he thinks your father is in merchant marine)...

I spent some enjoyable time playing around on Ancestry.com this weekend. I know the older the information gets, the less reliable it becomes, but if what I've found is accurate, I was able to trace my grandmother's family back to England, Normandy, and then through "historical stories" back to a line of Vikings. I think the trail ends around 350 AD.

If there are good enough family records to trace back to England, it's possible to find very good records/histories that were kept there.

The real puzzle for me to figure out is where my father's father's family came from and who they were. My grandfather on that side died when my dad was just a little boy so my brother and I know almost nothing about them..... yet.

Yep. He's been in the Merchant Navy since he left school, at the moment he's working on container ships. Big uns at that

morning tithe

I have been trying to get into my MATRIX account to download and reinstall AE. The problem is it was still attached to a defunct Email address so when I tried to recover my password it has gotten FUBARed. I have had no luck with Matrix support so far. I registered a new account with Matrix today and started my third ticket with support. Maybe I will get more than the automated email that a ticket was started.

Hello gents. Doesnt seem like theres too much action here.

I received a PM from diehl that he has green buttoned me. It seems that he was very offended at being called an @sshole.

He sent you a private message to tell you he was ignoring you?

That's like the commercial on TV lately where a girl calls up her boyfriend to tell him she is giving him the silent treatment.

ha ha. that is funny. Maybe i'll be next. It would be awesome.

The Sioux will not be going to the Frozen Four, thanks to the Gopher's 5-2 victory yesterday.

It was a good run though from where the Sioux were at the beginning of the season near the bottom. Injuries just finally caught up with them. Get 'em next year.

Now I can concentrate on golfing and fishing. Well if the weather cooperates. We're back in the 40's. So much for 70 degrees for awhile.

Earlier today, I was setting up my mom's new PC, crawling around on the floor with cables and whatnot. As I was finishing up, I told myself, "don't stand up too fast and hit your head on the sharp edge of the bookshelf above you".

Two seconds later, I was trying not to fall over, clutching my injured skull in pain.

fortunately there was no brain trauma.

You'd have to have one in the first place in order for that to occur.
