Dear List, Had a smile at Gene's comments about Philip of Spain. What ever happened to the Pineys? Were they real? or just a legend like Sawney Bean. Buitenlander.
Hi Marilyn Yes that would appear to be the case, but I do not normally look for it and could easily overlook such an event. My cousins are deliriously happy. the marraige took place in the UK where I guess it is allowed, but they are now seeking to return to Canada, where my female cousins sisters live and where she along with her siblings and parents emigrated in 1957. Edie By the way the temperature soared to 43 degrees centigrade yesterday in Sydney, NSW. they had to lower the speed on the trains as the steel on the track and on the Sydney Harbour Bridge expanded with the heat. It is not even Summer here as yet. The farmers have drought conditions on the mainland. We have had quite a bit of rain here, but not what farmers would call sufficient to fill their dams. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn R.

Hi Mary, Between a Rock and a hard place, sounds the same meaning to me. Without those middle names to help us out, it is hard to separate all the Elizabeths, James and Williams and Johns isn,t it. Two of my first cousins on the same line as mine, married each other in May this year, after I introduced them again after many years out of touch. Both in their late fifties. They used to write to each other as children. They fell in love and the rest is history. That will be confusing later on when someone is researching our family. What is the incidence of the Armstrong families having that happen. The thing is, most of us would maybe not even contemplate that two first cousins would marry so wouldn't even look for it. Or dismiss it as a possibility. So could miss a clue. Has that happened to anyone else's family?

Not only do I have first cousins that married one another but in some instances double first cousins that married . My Armstrong- Stewart- Calhoun lines were famous . Especially the Stewarts. I always thought that family was a little bit crazy. Now I know why. Catherine Montgomery Stewart Calhoun the aunt to Alice Calhoun (Wife of Robert Armstrong) and the grandmother to John C Calhoun was my 8th greatgrandmother 3 different ways. Has anyone got a padded room???? Pat Armstrong Tatom

He was unable to stop dribbling, and he was mercilessly mocked throughout his lifetime by his subjects. He still managed to rule them for about 40 years. He was so in-bred that he only had four great-grand-parents. Gene
Hi, Edie, It was not uncommon for first cousins to marry, especially in times and places where populations were small. There just wasn't a large pool of eligible singles to meet, and in this country, in colonial times where people lived in small settlements, it wasn't anything that would raise eyebrows. Bet it was the same in Australia. I have found at least one instance, way back when, where two first cousins married in my ancestry. I had another family of ancestors who all lived on Nantucket, an island off the northeast coast of the USA. They were Quakers and there were several main families and several main surnames. There were many, many instances of "second" or first cousins once removed marrying there. I have several ancestors who shared a great grandparent, for instance. I think it is a lot less common now and may not even be legal in some places, I suppose. But for folks who are past child-bearing ages, I suppose nobody would even care! Good for them....hope they will be very happy.

Hi Barb, Yes it is that language barrier again. Too hard basket is the same as brickwalls. there are so many of you who have families that come from the same town in Ireland and couldn't link up. Thought by now some of you have had some luck. It is always exciting to get that tiny link, that gets you out of where you have been at for years, isn't it?

Is the brick wall and a hard basket the same as between a rock and a hard place? Recently I noted in one of those county histories, a person with another name who was married to a person with a surname that married into my Armstrong family. The problem I have is that sisters with the same surname married brothers with another common surname, and that they didn't have that many names to CHOOSE from - how many Elizabeths and James can there be? Anyway I am on the trail. Happy giving thanks and eating everyone!! My kids are coming home, and I am very thankful. Mary

Edie, I think I'm missing something here (my marbles?!) I don't know what you mean by "having success with their too hard baskets". Is that the same as "brick walls"? If that's what it means, I don't think I know of anyone on the list who's broken through their brick wall recently. I've lucked out on a few lines that I've been stuck on for years, but not on Armstrongs. Not yet, at least! Have a great Thanksgiving...come to think of it, I don't think you have that in your part of the world, do you? If not, have a great day anyway! Barb
I could be wrong, Marilyn, but I don't think that thanksgiving is celebrated in Australia. There are never advertisements for Turkeys etc for thanksgiving, just for Christmas. It would be a nice time of year. My cousins who live in Toronto, Canada, speak about getting together for Thanksgiving. Have to have the expanding belts on that day.
