Hawkyns Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 My cousin in England has been researching our family tree. While going over the charts on Christmas, I find that I have an ancestor, William Turner, that dates from around the early 1700's. Wonder if he was a seagoing man? Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.

Aedon Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 That is rather strange. I'm afraid I'll never find that type of coincidence in my own cypress tree. It seems my family has always been fond of Ephraim and Zebadiah type names. I identify with Sirius Black from the Harry Potter series, if ye ken what I'm saying. Odd names abound in both trees. -Aedon Me mum named me Aedon. Me mates call me Lucky. Me enemies call me a bastard. And anyone in a position of authority calls me "that lucky bastard Aedon."
