Hi, Have no idea where this came from originally, came across it in my favourites this morning. There are quite a few Armstrong Family and other group photos. Maybe one of yours. Edie http://www.deadfred.com/surnameR.php?sLastName=ARMSTRONG

I think Mema, that they are unaware there are two Armstrong lists, which most of this list are on also, I beleive.

When I finally got to log on, I had 143 emails! Everything was over! I thought we were set for 4/1? Oh well, I wouldnt have been much fun anyway. Husband John, who supports defense industry, was quite suddenly transferred from Orlando to Eglin AFB (both FL) last Monday. I have been in transition mode all week. Anyone want to buy a little piece of paradise in Mouseville? Anyhoo, I enjoyed it, and still would be delighted to create cover for future gens of As. Prayers go up for all. We are indeed in perilous times. Jackie

Hi Jill, I have a few hours left before my bedtime as it is over 5.20 pm as I write. Looks like a few have retired for the night. that blazing fire in the moonlight sounds good and it would be nice to learn to ride your horse. Better be strong. Nothing nicer than sharing bits and pieces about ones family. A cup of coffee would go nice about now. I hope all of our banter didn't frighten Phyllis away. It can be a bit mind boggling if someone comes onto the list and we are all going on about partying, if they do not know that it will be over soon and return to normal. Just a bit of light fun once a year, which lasts a day. A bit of lightening up will help at the moment. I am sure our minds are all fixed in the same direction right now. A good diversion I would say.

Hi, Not sure if I gave this convict before. He is a stray from the USA, most likely the UK before that. If you are missing a family member. It is possible they came here as convicts. I don't have all of the mainland convicts, but there are quite a few recorded from the mainland as well. some of these convicts may have the answers you are looking for, as most say who fathers , mothers and siblings names are. With a bit of luck such family members may have recorded their history, which can aid in your missing information. Edie NAME: Samuel Armstrong AGE: 19 NATIVE PLACE: Melston, Montana, USA. MARITAL STATUS: Single TRIED: Kingston, Upper Canada, by Court Martial, 7th June, 1832, for Desertion, Goal report incouragable. I was sent to Bermuda and sent away for refusing to work. Surgeons report, Exemplary. Had at sometime received 25 lashes. Transported 7 years. SHIP NAME: Henry Porche PORT of Departure: Portsmouth 4/8/1836, arrived 15/11/1836 Assigned to mr J H Wedge of Perth REMARKS: Samuel married Elizabeth Dermer on 10th October, 1842 at St Lukes Church, Campbelltown in Tasmania. He was a Bachelor aged 29 and she was a spinster aged 22. Had a tattoo. Sun 7 dots, half moon, woman inside left arm. Bracelets on same wrist, tree inside right arm. This particular one, may have a descendant who has done his family tree. that could be useful for someone looking for information on him.

Well Jill, I have a basket of Toilet Tissue sitting on the cupboard in the Loo. Just as well eh! Good for cleaning out the system those plums. Maybe we can make some of that brew Fount makes and everyone can tale a bottle home with them. Yes Penny would jump on your lap, but her rival is Ruffles who rubs up against legs nearly knocking you over. She is a lovely dog, but very lazy. Nice pet. After a few tots of whisky, the band won't sound very scottish. One of our Tassy bands always includes a jamacian sounding tune. It is very popular. Have a great one. Party, that is.

What sights! But why were they all running away and covering up? Ready for another drink, maybe some good rum and ginger ale. The munchies sure are good. Just leave out the ones with crabs and other kinds of shellfish. I'll leave that to Fount.

He is sitting in the chair beside me (well, actually he is taking up two chairs because I understand that he weighed about 350 pounds.) but refuses to tell me anything. All I know about him is that his father was James Armstrong and his mother was Sarah Jane McCoy.

I have never seen a picture of him but I understand that is where my red hair (well, it used to be red, now it is sprinkled with white) came from. I would love to find his siblings but he just will not cooperate. Did every Armstrong have at least one John and one James just to confuse us? > > Let me know where we are so that I can catch up.
