Dear Lisa, and Chases, I am not going to bore any of you any more about the Aquila question, but like you, Lisa, I must admit, when I first ran across the unusual name I too wondered where it came from originally. Like you I have never run across that name anywhere else. That's one good reason for thinking somehow the Aquilas are all related. Especially enjoy your humor, Lisa. when one is digging around in the middle of all of these papers with who was born---who married whom----When did they die questions---it's refreshing to see a humorous comment mixed in. Keep it up. Keith has that ability too. I think in his case it's that Australian heritage. We went on a tour to Ireland one time with all Australians and the whole trip was a riot--we laughed and laughed until our sides ached. Our guide happened to be a former Priest. The start of the trip was on Easter Sunday and the first thing on the tour was to visit a Whiskey Factory in dublin at 11 in the morning (Easter). To say the least that got the group started off in a very festive direction. Well, after that visit the Priest switched gears and kept taking us from church to church in each town we visited. Finally on the last day--the Australians had had their fill of looking at the inside of churches so when the Priest proceeded to stop at a church---the Australians all put their feet across the aisles of the bus and told him "Enough is enough" "We'll nap right here and not go into another church---and look at old bones again". To say the least the Priest was baffled by it all . I don't think they question such things in Irland as they do in Australia and America. Ginger in Az.
