Jill, that lutefisk is powerful stuff. One of my neighbors recently had a problem with raccoons that had taken up residence under his front porch and would not leave. Another neighbor suggested placing lutefisk under the porch until the raccoons were driven out. I asked him a few days later how it was going and he replied: " the raccoons left within a day but now I can't get rid of the swedes and norwegans down there."

Robin, I don't have any Armstronges in my line that I know of, but I know there are variations of the spelling...Armstrang, Armestrang, etc. Remember,not too long ago very few common people could read and write so had to rely on somebody who lived nearby or an official to do their writing for them. Those who could write might use their own spelling and often would write as the word was pronounced. I have some McCoys who married with my Armstrongs, but sometimes the name is written McKay which was the way it was pronounced in certain areas...but it was the same family. So I imagine Mr. Armstronge is just as much an Armstrong as we are. Some think that Strong is a variant of Armstrong and that's why the Armstrongs are in on the Strong DNA study. cousin Marilyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robyn Leeds" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 4:56 PM Subject: [ARMSTRONG] ARMSTRONGE > Hi everyone :) > > Shocked yet?

If you like liver you will like haggis. Imagine some liver mixed up with oatmeal and then boiled in a more or less inedible bag. I ate some once by accident...it was stuffed into a chicken breast. My husband, who likes liver, ate mine as well as his own but not before I had inadvertently taken a bite, chewed and swallowed some of the nasty stuff. I don't think Scots really eat haggis much...I think it's more of a kind of old-fashioned dish that tourists equate with Scotland, a tradition that probably many Scots don't care for either. Haggis was a nutritious way to use up leftovers after a sheep was slaughtered. Thank goodness folks usually don't have to depend on it anymore.

I DID play Right Guard for the Green Bay Packers. You must have missed it. Could you concoct a recipe for Peacock Haggis? My daughter was once married to a Scotsman (didn't take.

Tom These days they want the engineers to have an MBA too. That sure helps to get ahead around here. I never invested the time to pursue that avenue yet. I'm fortunate and very thankful for the position I have. This job came open and I thought I would apply for practice sake. I never expected to be accepted for the position. It was like oh my God what do I do now. When I was accepted I had a very hard decision to make.To leave where I was and go to the unknown or stay. I figured it would have been career suicide to not accept. So here I am. I still miss all of my friends at my old location but I get to see them every now and then. Ronda

I guess unfortunately, mine are further away. Montana and Kansas. Thank goodness we can talk on computer or phone. It's not the same and hard to spoil them being so far away!!!! Marie in Oregon

Hi Everyone... I've been lurking in the woodwork, enjoying the various messages of late. Mention of the DNA Study and the possible relationship between Armstrong and Strong as surnames has stirred me, as the resident Strong, to comment. Much as I enjoy my association with the members of this list, as time has gone on, and a lack of possible Y-DNA matches has become apparent, I am becoming fairly sure that there is not really a genealogical relationship between the two surnames. But, then, a lot of the Armstrong folks on the list who have taken the Y-DNA test [or had a relative participate for them], have found they are not related either. Of course, that is part of the reason for Y-DNA testing... it does help focus one's mind on research that is useful; eg., we don't waste a lot of time speculating about possible relationships when we know there is no Y-DNA match. The discussions on the list, genealogical and otherwise, continue to be interesting, however! {:-) I think, Marilyn [one n], that you are correct about the evolution of the spelling variants you mention. For what it is worth, I think Strong is more likely a variant of Strang or Strange. Both Strang and Strange occur in Scotland, and Strange has a separate English origin for some lines as well. The English Strange variety probably derives from the French "LeStrange". The Scottish variety seems to derive from a totally different root... perhaps "Strang" is a Scottish pronounciation of "Strong"; although some writers have speculated that Strang derives from the Norse "Strangi". Robyn... I THINK "De Mormaer" is a Frenchified descriptive of the title of the Alexander Armstronge c.1522. I believe, subject to correction by anyone who knows more definitively, "Mormaer" may have been the early Gaelic term for "Earl". [In very early Scotland, the Mormaers elected one of their number as King... before that position became hereditary.] In any case, if I am right, Alexander Armstronge, c.1522, was one of the Mormaers, or Earls, of Scotland. Sean Armstrong, or Joe of Gateshead, can you comment? Turning to some of the recent messages... Late this summer I helped a cousin process some crab apples into juice... baking a pie out of them seemed rather useless, as they were too small to yield much apple. Now, a question: I've got a couple of pear trees which yield a small round pear which is not very tasty. However, I've been told the pears make an excellent "pear butter". Does anyone know how to process them and make pear butter? Oh, and Marilynn [two n's]... with due respect, the cutest grandson in Seattle is MINE ! {:-) Regards Dave Strong ============================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn Otterson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 12:16 PM Subject: Re: [ARMSTRONG] ARMSTRONGE > Robin, I don't have any Armstronges in my line that I know of, but I know > there are variations of the spelling...Armstrang, Armestrang, etc. > Remember,not too long ago very few common people could read and write so > had > to rely on somebody who lived nearby or an official to do their writing > for > them.

Robyn, Marilyn, et al On the back of the book THE ARMSTRONG BORDERLAND, by William A Armstrong (Scotpress 1986) there are 51 ways to spell Armstrong listed... Or as William puts it... Old Forms of the name Armstrong...!!! I wouldn't get too hung up on Exact spellings... for example... in the U.S. we have tires on our cars in the U.K. they have Tyres.. In the U.S. we Inquire In the U.K. they Enquire In the U.S. we Realize. in the U.K. they Realise.. so what difference does it make as long as you understand what the other person is saying/writing...!!! sincerely, John D amongst the yellow leaves in the beautiful Matanuska Valley a Little SoWest of North Marilyn Otterson wrote: >Robin, I don't have any Armstronges in my line that I know of, but I know >there are variations of the spelling...Armstrang, Armestrang, etc. >Remember,not too long ago very few common people could read and write so had >to rely on somebody who lived nearby or an official to do their writing for >them.
