Thanks

A 2006 study found that the average Canadian walks about 900 miles a year. The study also found that Canadians drink an average of 22 gallons of beer a year. That means, on average, Canadians get about 41 miles per gallon.
I have a name hovering many years back in my ancestry: Glaspell. I think it might be Welsh and that a branch of the family became Glaspey.
My apologies if this doesn't fit into this thread at all.

GLASPELL Could be Welsh. There is a place in Wales called Glaspwll. Glaspey may be a variant of Gillespie (original Gaelic: Mac Gille Easpaig), in which case it would be unrelated.
A Gaelicised spelling would be Gleaspaeil.

Dia Dhuit, A Chaoimhín,
GRANT Grant is of Norman-French origin, from the word grand. The Grants in Scotland quickly immersed themselves into Highland culture. It's Gaelicised form is Grannd (SCOTTISH) or Grannt (IRISH).
