CO newb, KY-Scot & Irish roots...

**Mule** · 19th July 11, 05:20 PM

Hello all,
As the title says, I'm here in rainy CO but am from KY way back when.... My roots are Mackey (S) and Moore (I) but I'm still a mutt.

I love learning new stuff so you will probably see me poking around asking questions. Time allowing, that is.

Plans as of now; Order my first kilt from Scotweb - Balmoral traditional 8yd med... Possibly as early as this week.

I'm a toy and weapon geek, so I foresee a few of them around the house sooner or later. I'm still learning everything I can, so I'm having all kinds of fun right now.

Greg

Hello and welcome! I have Moore on both sides of my family, and some of my father's side (not sure about mom's yet) comes from KY a little while back. Some of my father's family now live in Colorado, although I don't know them.

Best wishes!

Thanks all.
Fascinating place you have here. I keep wondering down rabbit trails on the posts, lots of fun reads...

Cynthia, My maternal Grandmother is a Moore, which I found was really Morrough till 3 generations ago. They came out of Ireland and promptly went from a Dr. to poor farmers that couldn't talk well enough to spell their name for the census. I have very extensive genealogy on every line of my family except for my surname (back to the 1700s) and my Mom's Dad's side - word has it my 2nd great grandfather killed a man, moved a way for a few years, changed his last name and moved back to town. We had a binder with all kinds of genealogy and pictures on them, but it has vanished.
