Is Tongue Tied only available thru www.ylolfa.com or can you get it stateside? My local bookstore doesn't show it at their usual Ingram or Baker Taylor distributors.

Thanks for the invitation but we won't be able to make it down to the Rose City this weekend. His book sounded interesting so I did order a copy. Will he be reading in Seattle?

Gregg Watts commented on Linda L Owens's photo 'Cunard Line SS Umbria'

The earliest I can find is the 1906 trip. On one of the census returns he makes is sound like he may have visited his brother Hubert briefly around 1904. So far I've located manifests for these trips, and of course you were around to send him off wh…

About Me:

My maternal grandfather John Wreford Owens was from Swansea, and his parents Jane Thomas and William Owens were from Milford Haven. I've always been interested in Wales but have yet to make the trip. As I've aged I've noticed more similarities with my grandfather's family and the draw to Cymru has grown stronger.

At 10:54pm on July 20, 2008, Ceri Shaw said…: There wasnt a specific word for yes or no in Welsh up until the Devolution referendum in 1997. Since there was a yes and a no campaign I guess we needed to invent them. So "ie" pronounced "ear" and "na" pronounced pretty much the way t looks became the welsh words for yes and no.

At 10:45pm on July 20, 2008, Gregg Watts said…: Yes (how do you say "yes" and "no" in Welsh?). My wife has the Spanish heritage. While coming up with the design I knew it had to have the griffyn in it, and el toro came naturally as a symbol of Spain. It wasn't until afterwards that she said, "It looks like we're fighting." No, just a little friendly jousting...
