Born in Aberdeen, my Mother's home town.

Lived a nomadic childhood as a son of an RAF Father.

Now settled in Middlesbrough, where it turns out my family have lived for generations.

I have my family tree on my website. Periodically it produces interesting contacts.

I'm not sure where my home is these days.

We own a vacant and temporarily uninhabitable home in one New Orleans neighborhood, recently began renting a small apartment in another higher-and-drier section New Orleans, and have not yet moved out of my childhood home in New Jersey. (At the moment, I'm in NJ and my wife is in NO.)

It's very confusing. I'll wonder about a particular item (piece of clothing, book, scribbled note, etc.), remember that I left it on a table "back home," and then realize that the home in question is 1400 miles away...

From somewhere over 2000 years ago. But more recent some 20 miles south of the mouth of the Mississippi river. Located in a Park call Itasca. In a small tourist town called Park Rapids. In a hole in the wall apartment in the low rent district. Perfect. Except no trees and grass to look at and no birdfeeders to fill or the multitudes of differant species of birds that one can attract depending on the type of foods used, all while comptemplateing phylosophy and logic. Be free and happy and make sure the world is good to you for we are of freewill and happy is what i choose for nothing else is an option. We are only limited to the boundries of our imagination.   Kindaloupehackenweez....PEACE...

I thought I must've posted to this one ages ago, but see not. Anywho, welcome to you all. It's fun to see where newer members hail from, esp. the more unusual...Hallo, Italia!! **bg**

PoppaGator, if you go to Quick Links, drop down the menu, then choose Member Photo and Info, you will find a Geographical listing of members by country and, in some cases, state or county/region called LOCATOR. We decided a long time ago not to get town specific in the list, as some wanted to keep it more private. By all means, please, any of you, send Jeff aka Pene Azul, your location to be added to the listing.

I was born in North Dakota, grew up in Wyoming and Colorado. Lived in New England and loved it, then back to the Rocky Mountains, currently Colorado. BUT, my heart's in the Highlands!! Or, at least Nova Scotia!

Right under my house there's one of the many 'Irish Pubs' which appeared like mushrooms since about ten years ago. If anyone plans to visit Florence, I will more than glad to share some pints...

Yeah, so now we know where some folks are from, but I'm still curious about the overall numbers for where members are located. For example: Are there more members east or west of the Atlantic? (Austrialians might not fit into either category -- maybe "Old World" vs "New" would work better.)

I know there are plenty of members throughout the US and Canada, and enough in the UK that it would make sense to maintain separate counts for England, Scotland and Wales. Loads of Irish, but perhaps not so many living in Ireland than wishing they did, or at any rate visiting. At least one in Iceland, a few other Scandinavians. What else?

Even if some volunteer wre willing to sort through the data, does information even exist on the home locale of each member? As I recall, membership reistration req
