Honey, if you can trace your ancestry back thousands of years, you're doing very well. On Mom's side of the family, we're stumped after going back about 125 years.

On my moms side it my mom, her parents and grandparents. After that we know nothing. Her grandparents immigrated here from Italy.

That's how far we can go back. Mom's family came from Poland. We do know the village, but that's all.

I know how you feel, especially if you have put off doing something else and sit around waiting.

You did give me an idea though. Since I make pottery, I'm going to make some nice little honey jars and fill them with honey as Christmas gifts. I'm sure folks would like that, dontcha think?

Oooh yeah and how about honey dippers to go with?

The Mongols invaded Poland 9 times in the 14th century alone. I almost certainly have Mongols in my ancestry (they weren't gentleman). Heck, I could be related to Genghis Khan. He has an enormous number of children.

I take that back. I did discover that the Czarnomskis were gentry, and members of the Grabie clan, so our coat of arms is a wooden rake on a green and yellow ground. How appropriate.

I take that back. new research show us members of a different clan with a horseshoe on our shield.

Wellbutrin is one of the drugs which has a positive effect for some ADHD people, especially adults with comorbid depression (I've actually written newsletter articles on this, by the way, as well as being a properly, expensively, diagnosed ADHD person withtwenty years of med struggles behind me). Coming up with the right drug or combination of drugs for ADHD isn't a matter of plugging in a random stimulant.

I may be exceptionally grumpy about this today, but I've had random Diabetes and ADHD jokes from college-age people on my friends list this morning and it's like biting on a sore tooth.

Sorry about your boyfriend's bad med experience, some doctors/pharmacists need... better electronic record keeping.

My dad's side goes back a few generations - mostly English, some Irish. My mom's side is a total mess with very little documentation.

TC - Nice pottery! My youngest sister is a potter as well.

I sincerely wish I could take it- I could put it to use immediatly- but it would take both teleportation and the heavens opening up and raining cash, so, I hope whoever gets it needs it badly.

just be sure you don't USE that coat of arms around someone who is aware of the usage of coats of arms ...

was carefully explained to me, that the only one allowed to use that, was the eldest son of the eldest son of the .. (you get the picture)

now it could be different in Poland ... because my informant was talking of British and French insignia ..
so it may follow the rules of Scottish clan tartan usage instead

some people become quite vehement about the matter ... (oopsie !)

my lot were mainly tradesmen ... grocers, curriers, shoemakers, cabinetmakers, smiths, tavern keepers; most of them also farmed, then there were the seacaptains and Reverends (lots of those) ... almost everyone here by 1690 ...

Thank you!

I also do pottery. Got to get into the studio and make Christmas gifts.
Poison Mug - each mug is a different colour, and has a different poison name on it

Little jewel pot - all different colours with different "crystal" tops and insides

Pebble dish with luminary - after I made this one, hubby bought me a rock tumpler and a ton of nice rocks, so now I do all sorts of crystals, agates, jasper rocks etc.

place settings - all different sizes (hubby makes most of them)

Got to keep busy - chicks, ducks, rabbits goats etc, just leaves me with so much time on my hands

All very, very nice but I really admire the lumineria!
