Oh, no kidding! > Lord Baltimore invited him and several other unhappy Virginia > quakers to settle in Maryland, which he/they did. I think that branch of my folks ended up in Pennsylvania. My late mother was heavily into genealogy at one point, did endless research. The other branches of the family were German, French (Huguenots), and Scots-Irish. It's all somewhere in my mother's papers, which, sadly, probably nobody will ever look at again. By the time genealogy sites hit the Web big-time, she had lost whatever energy it takes to get into new things. If that had come along 10 years earlier, she'd have had such a blast. > ________________________________ > From: authfriend <jst...@...> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Sat, March 27, 2010 12:25:14 PM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Fw: Bullshit Bingo > > Â > --- In FairfieldLife@ yahoogroups. com, Bhairitu <noozguru@ .> wrote: > > > > Mike Dixon wrote: > > > S South America?
