Since this thread is four years old I don't suppose the original posters are checking in, but for the record...

Dusterjim, are you really from Falls City, Oregon? I spent a couple of years there, 110 Main Street. (Falls City is a literal end-of-the-road town with about 350 people if you count the suburbs.) I rented a much too big house from a friend; wonderful place. I could fish the Little Luckiamute from the patio outside my bedroom.

Cap't Bob, my mother was born in Mio, back in 1904.

Margo, my brother's widow lives in Vancouver, in Orchards.

I'm from Oregon but I just celebrated my 15th anniversary of living in Juneau, Alaska.

Lairg, Sutherland, in the highlands of Scotland. Originally Glasgow born, but spent most of my life in West London & Surrey. Spent 15 years truck driving round Europe, mostly Italy and Greece, eventually got fed up living in a town where I couldn't even park outside my own front door, so came back to my roots. Decided to come up here rather than go back to Glasgow, 'cos I like trees, and I don't like football.

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

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!

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...
