Hey Mark, I dont really ave a preference on periods of history, as I find all to be quite interesting in their own peculiar ways. Seems to be a never ending change no matta wot happens.....As for music i listen to hard an heavy music Pantera, Down, COC, Sylosis,etc. Also like any type of rock and blues but the hair bands an hip-hop I dunna care for an techno doesn catch my fancy neither. Anything on yor end you'd like to share? Ave a good one, ta-da...Dare
Hi Mark-thank you for the kind comments.My paternal great grandmother was a Powell.Her father was a stone-mason in Ledbury [just over the Welsh border]-so we might be related lol.I wish I had your talent for taking photographs.Mine seem to consist of blurs and red eyes.What lovely children! Are they your daughters?My husband,Alistair, used to take many photographs of flowers,however he's more into his woodworking and metalworking now.Once I work out how to add pictures I'll put a few on.Best regards Bronwen.

Small world indeed! George is my dad :)
I spend most of my time supporting the game of lacrosse - thus I'll be at Zube Park all this weekend for the CF Boys tournament :)

Hello Mark,
Small world eh? Yes, I did some research and it does seem he had a very nonviolent past and thus was treated poorly regarding the visit here. All the best
Mark,, Reading your comment again, how awesome that you were able to trace so many generations back . I am trying my best to trace my Morris roots to Wales. It seems no one knows yet but I will eventually find the link. Let me know how your research goes. Were you actually able to meet any of your relatives? I have been very lucky to have met so many of my biological brothers & sisters and extended family. I just attended my very first Morris Family Reunion. I felt so accepted and I loved every minute of it........................the only thing my biological mother died at 39 years of age. I never got to meet her and I don't remember her. My twin brother, John and I were placed in a Children's Home in "Uniontown, Pa. in June of 1957. We were 4 years old, by her request. She died 3 days later. Mark after all my searching I have collected so many photos and documents, I had to prove everything to myself.....................I look exactly like my mother. IT gives me chills every time I look at her picture. It's been an amazing discovery to say the least. We were adopted into a very loving family.

Thanks for asking about the research. I have a degree in Linguistics, but I worked for decades in the software industry, and my main research project (i.e. the one that pays most of my wages :) ) is about social, economic and environmental indicators and how to present them clearly (http://www.openindicators.org) in an open-source platform . A labor of love is with a project putting together an international auxiliary language called Ayola (http://www.ayola.org). In both cases, I'm working with a team. I've gotten some Welsh words accepted into the Ayola vocabulary, since we need to eliminate ambiguity and many Welsh words are unique in form. I'm also a radio programmer and like to throw music from small European countries including Wales, Cornwall and Denmark into the mix.
Thanks, Mark, diolch! One thing I'm hoping to do is to give some emerging Welsh filmmakers an opportunity to have their work screened in New York. Hwyl, Cary

I know about P.T. Barnum, but didn't know about 'The Cardiff Giant.' Thanks for that.
