Cancer/Scorpio729 Moderator Posts: 1668 From: 6,000 feet above sea level Registered: Feb 2010	posted April 27, 2010 11:20 PM That explains the long list Relatives do have the tendency to keep repeating their ancestry. Does get very annoying, doesn't it. Bulgarian? Nice IP: Logged

Registered: Apr 2009	posted April 28, 2010 12:08 AM Yes, it does get annoying at times. I do not mind the overview, but the obsessive genealogists can be just too fixated! LOL, then again, I can be rather obsessed with Lexigramming! ------------------ Everyone is a teacher... Everyone is a student... Learning is eternal. }><}}(*> .☆ЈЏ`♥ И.☆ЈЏ`♥ И.☆ЈЏ`♥ IP: Logged

WinkAway Knowflake Posts: 1577 From: here, there & everywhere Registered: Apr 2009	posted April 30, 2010 06:26 PM I'll have to sit with my mom to find out exactly, but I have a grandmother who is very into geneology. But from what I know.. Maternal: English, Irish...a couple other ish's in there somewhere. Paternal: I was told way back it's blackfoot indian. Still not 100% on the tribe, but someone told me Blackfoot once. I had a great great grandmother who lived on a reservation. Now I wanna ask my grandma... IP: Logged

Cancer/Scorpio729 Moderator Posts: 1668 From: 6,000 feet above sea level Registered: Feb 2010	posted April 30, 2010 11:10 PM Does anyone know if there is a link between geneology and degrees of psychic awareness? I know of a psychic who is a direct decendant of gypsies and she is very good at what she does...very claircognizant. Yup, Lexx is pretty amazing at Lexigramming. I still don't understand it though: how do you get into that state of being able to put the words together correctly? I've been at it for a while, and can't really figure it out... ------------------ Echoes fade and memories die: Autumn frosts have slain July Still she haunts me, phantomwise, Alice moving under skies Never seen by waking eyes - Lewis Carrol, Alice in Wonderland IP: Logged

listenstotrees Knowflake Posts: 2005 From: out there Registered: Apr 2009	posted May 02, 2010 08:08 AM You Americans are so lucky, you have such exciting mixes in your ancestry. I'm just boring British. I want to be a Native American though. My intuition tells me that my DNA is mostly "Celtic". I think I must be a throwback of some ancient Elvish race. I really don't feel like other members of my family. LOL. IP: Logged

I am from near Liverpool (but mercifully I don't sound like that...but I'm surrounded by it) The Birmingham accent (known as Brummie) is acknowledged as the worst....even by the Brummies!!!

eskimono Knowflake Posts: 810 From: uk Registered: Dec 2009	posted May 03, 2010 06:06 PM Ha ha - that was class. The Liverpudlian one was dire - in summary, they have strong tonsils are violent and don't work??? Bunnies - half of my immediate heritage is Liverpudlian, the rest Celtic (Irish, Scottish, some Welsh). IP: Logged

I love how this guy kept flipping his head up from different places. My favorite would probably be the urban London kind...I never thought the British could sound so downright gangster IP: Logged

katatonic Knowflake Posts: 9066 From: Registered: Apr 2009	posted May 07, 2010 01:25 AM hi cancer/scorp....i don't think i've had the pleasure before!! LTT i always think of the english as the opposite to americans, they spread their seed all around the world so there's a little english in most people. my mother's family were irish, all 2000 of them..my father's father was from an originally spanish family, being jews they migrated east during the inquisition and settled eventually in poland. my paternal grandmother was a redheaded russian. so many americans come from people who came here after seriously traumatic experiences and arrived only after a gruelling ocean voyage...you would think there would be more sympathy for immigrants, but every era has its new "bunch" who are considered a major problem by those more settled. then the next generation goes on to resent/fear whoever comes next. crazy...
