Thread Name: How ethnically diverse are we?
Subject: RE: How ethnically diverse are we?
You know its such a small world. Here I am reading this thread with much interest. I'm really interested to find out more about where people live on this planet, which seems to be getting smaller every day. Anyway I digress, I was making my way down the list when I came to Seed's message and I find out his ancestors lived 2 miles away from where I grew up myself. Its Moneydarragh seed if you ever read this and I was born 2 miles from Annalong which is about 30 miles out of Belfast going south along the coast road. If you do happen to read this Seed i'd be really interested to know what that particular ancestral name was. Quite a few of the names have been around that area for generations. My father was born in Moneydarragh and had relatives that emigrated to the USA. BTW I was born in N.Ireland in the Mourne area, moved to Belfast and then emigrated to Canada, lived in BC for 16 years and now in Nova Scotia on the other end of the country.
