Dear John D, It is clear that you know far more than I about not only Armstrongs but also corn squeezings. I stand amazed in the presence of such talent. Certainly 8 or even 12 years would be an advantage. All I know is what my Kentucky father told me, and he was both a Federal Revenuer and a Storekeeper-gauger at government-sealed warehouses where the corn was aged agreeably. I prefer grits, myself.

"> Are you swamped with requests now?" Surprisingly, no!! I've posted this to the G4D list, shall let you know what they come back with! :D Take care, Rob.

"it's an experience by itself to see all the products." Boy is that an understatement, I didn't realise it was such a big business!!!! I just spent about 15-20 minutes surfing sites and I've sent hubby a link for the t-shirt and bookmarked at least 5 more. I wonder how much he's prepared to spend on me for Christmas? lol Take care, Rob.

Dear Marylin, If you read your welcome message you should have received when you subscribed to the Armstrong list you will see that this list, unlike most other genealogy lists, allows off-topic mail from time to time as long as it doesn't involve religion or politics. Right now we have been very chatty for the last few weeks; other times, the list is more quiet with mostly just genealogy queries. We do have many serious genealogists who are always ready to help when possible with the research problems of list members; however, we are also a group of friends, related by our name and interested in the Armstrong family. We enjoy getting to know other Armstrongs even though we don't know if we are really related to them in ways we can trace. Since we are all of the same clan, "cousins" so to speak, we like to know about each other's lives and interest as well as ancestors. We enjoy getting to know one another and some of us have made good Armstrong friends all over the world through this list. There is an Armstrong Gen-only list if you prefer. You can unsub from this list and sub to the Gen-0nly list, or you can sub to both lists, or you can stick with us and state your query. You can also subscribe to the digest for any list and then go through the mail more quickly, eliminating anything you don't want to read.

Ben, you have to put butter and salt on grits or they are incredibly bland, I think. Cheese grits are delicious, but fattening. Here, down south in southern NH, we like our grits with butter and maple syrup.

Dear Faye, You have quite a lot of fairly recent information. I am no expert on Irish genealogy except to know that it's difficult, often nearly impossible to access. It does sound as you are dealing with ancestors from Ireland, not Ulster or those known as Scotch Irish (Irish of Scottish descent, usually Protestant). I think a good course for you to try is to take a look at www.rootsweb.com and search the lists for a list about Ireland or County Clare. There are good public records still existing in Dublin and I have written there for information. If your folks aren't from what is not Northern Ireland you don't need to worry about searching in PRONI in Belfast. Also, church records...if you can find out somehow (maybe from a County Clare list) the religion of your ancestor, maybe you can access church records to find out more about your ancestor, where baptized, where married, etc. If you can somehow find a marriage record you will probably know more about the parents' names, the townland, etc. Irish genealogy is a whole different animal from British and you have to approach it in other ways. You can also do a search at a Family History Center of the Latter Day Saints church and access their catalog and records, or you can search it on line as they do have some Irish records. I really think the best thing to do, though, is to search out a rootsweb list dealing with the area your ancestors were last known in Ireland or maybe a list for O'Dea family. Finally, if you look in the Scotch-Irish List archives I believe you'll find a tutorial in researching genealogy in Ireland. But I have always found the best help with Rootsweb lists for a particular Irish county. You can also get some good information about where to search when you get to Ireland on your trip. Sorry not to be of more help. Good luck in your search and let us know how you are doing with it.

I did the same thing with Google Earth. The family homestead in rural Michigan is gone but using Google Earth, I just plugged in the address and I could see the old foundation out line. Also, I couldn't get an electronic map of the Mt. Wollaston cemetery in Quincy, MA so I looked that up and was able to talk to the grounds keeper on the phone to narrow the search for specific gravestones. Cool technology.

Ham biscuits, yes. Sausage biscuits, yes. The rest of it, no, no, no! Especially "Okry"---no, no,. no! The batter on it is good, if you remove the okra--excuse me,--okry.

Marilyn, The Armstrong surname list was originally set up to discuss Armstrong History, Genealogy, and anything else of interest... Except Sex, Religion and Politics.

Why is it we tend to think the Pilgrims were nice? They were a bawdy bunch. The rebels of the day. The founding fathers weren't so whippy either, but like our own DNA that's it! The American history we teach in schools ought to be what we learn from genealogy instead of the glorified set of dates presented. It would be soooo much more fun. A good reenactment experience would teach more history than most of the books out today, combine it with a little geography--what fun. I am not a member of the DAR (could be on a couple sides of the family) but they do some really good things in local areas and they can be an interesting, humble group. There was a time in the late 40's and early 50's when they became overly impressed with their mission in life and hence some bad experiences ensued. I wish I knew then what I know now.
