Genealogy overoad... brain smoldering....
Wow,
So, I received some genealogy info tonight, punched it into Ancestry.com (freebie 3 day trial acct thingy) and BADA BING! My paternal Great Great Grandmother opened up a HUGE jackpot of info. Someone has already done an INCREDIBLE amount of work that had branches upon branches. I found tons of Welsh in there. Agnus Weatherly 1744, Wales. There was also a Gwyn (surname) back even further down another line. Sounds like a Gwyn tartan Cilt just entered the wish list. McBrides back to Ireland in 1750. Rowand back to Scotland. Found a direct line to some Scott blood too. Great, great stuff. Very exciting. Also found a huge stash of family from Northumberland. I knew that "check" stirred something inside me... just needed some sort of connection to add it to the wish list. Looks like I've found it. Wow. I need to go lay down.
