    Yes, I got some family photos. If you looked at my uncle that served in World War 2, you'd swear it was Prince Harry in uniform for an American army soldier.

    If anybody knows what's going on with this right here , i'm a descendant. I just found out that.My great great great grandfather worked with general mccarthur's father and the ohio first regiment of the united states army during the time of the civil war. If someone can. Do this exchange of information and tell me because of the landfare of my last name of my lineage. Am I related to the Royal family just curious? I keep on fighting with this in my head. I feel that I might be, but when in doubt whip it out.

    The government had little feeling for communities anywhere in Britain. i am from the Wirral and our Mersey coastline was developed with huge chemical factories, soap making and oil storage, plus the Manchester Ship canal. The river was terribly poluted. I coud say that the area was destroyed for the Half of my family moved there from North Wales and Liverpool too has a huge amount of people from Wales. The reservoir ironically was serving the interests of many Welsh people. It is industrialisation and the growth of urban populations that caused such projects, not some innate hatred of the Welsh. Now the area is a site of outstanding natural beauty with wonderful wildlife. Today it is time that Wales benefitted from it's resources and water should be nationalised for the people of Wales.

Because the bloodline here in America has a history with American Indians here in Colorado and my great-great-great-grandfather Robert Blake landfair the first is buried in a place called Dragon Arizona. And he was part of the Indian treaties going on out here during the time in somewhere buried around a place called Tombstone another historical event that happened I am. I am curious of my family bloodline can anyone relay a story

    Job 7: 7 O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good. 8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not. 9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. 10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. Job 14: 10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? 11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: 12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. 13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! 14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Ecclesiastes 9:5 Context 2All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. 3This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. 4For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. 6Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. 7Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 8Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.

    From my understanding this is My Family's last name. They shortened it over here in the United States but my grandfather worked with MacArthur's grandfather with the Indian treaties that's my bloodline his grandson as far as I know which is my grandfather United States Air Force also a federal court judge of Ohio he is in the historical Society there in Ohio so you can make the connection my baby brother is a twit and thinks that he can take his older brothers privilege of being the older brother he did not earn that right and try to take everything away from me just like my other sibling so backstabbing is still living strong but if it was like 500 years ago they'd be hanging right now off the side of a castle

    500 people lost not only their homes but also the community that had existed for hundreds of years. Families split, up the community destroyed and a village stolen and destroyed. The Welsh spirit is something very few nowadays understand. Those tower blocks you speak of where modern and a huge improvement on what people had before. The people of llanwddyn lost their homes, history and ties to the past in exchange for houses that where not much different to what they had before minus the link to their past. I donr expect you to understand community spirit as I can't imagine a community that would want you.

    Thanks for uploading. Could you tell me what the song is about though, please? Did something historical happen here or is it just a song about crying mermaids? P.s I was passing through Carmarthen and was asking about the skilled folk scene of "a- Pentangle- like- sound" and even ability. I was told i should go to Cardigan for decent folk. I am sure they were being polite.
