 Good morning. Good morning. We want to say we're having a moment of great frivolity because of the day it is. We're showing all of our genealogy mascots, our genia mascots. But we want to first off say that we hope everybody on WikiTree and everybody else everywhere are safe from those horrible storms that went through parts of the U.S. last night. Our hearts go out to everybody and if you're a WikiTreer and you need some help, let us know. Give Greg a call personally. I've got his phone number here and you can call him. I just wanted to let you guys know that WikiTree did some rebranding. It's now WikiFree and you can see that in the thing. And also blue is now the color. Yes, orange is over. Orange is over. Orange is done. Yeah, so here we are. And the cutest, we've got our genia mascots with us. Greg introduced us. So this is Patty. Patty the platypus who is my daughter's favorite toy. This is now our granddaughter Sophia's favorite toy. And this is Spooky who has been with me for 47 years. Can you believe that? Wow. That is so cute. Everybody knows Murph Moose. You can watch out because if you look at Murph Moose in the eyes, you know, he kind of, he's, you know, just, he is hypnotizing. Good morning. What's up with that? Pip. No, Pip. No. Okay. Good morning and welcome to WikiFree's live cast. I'm Gams Duglene. I'm here with Gurg Eclare and Betsy. Okay. Good to see everybody. Good to see everybody. All right. Yeah. I have a Georgia red wiki, wiki free shirt. I do. All right. All right. Okay, so we can get started because I'm still asleep. We can start out with that question of the week, which is what is on your genealogical bucket list? Lots and lots of answers. We want to upvote that. Yes, we do. Best answer. This is really the best thing. No, I'm going to jump that. We'll wait, say best answer for last. All right. So here we go. Lots of interesting stuff from this one, Lisa Dervais, who just, what's that? I was just going to say hi, Lisa was in the chat. Oh, she just came in. So three things, going to upvote that. To finally connect my branch of Macklems, second great grandfather to more prominent family from Niagara Falls, Ontario. I'm going to continue to find families of Irish ancestors. Good luck with that. Oops. And to find more information on the ancestors of a Hessian soldier Friedrich Knapp, who arrived in Newfoundland in 1777 and was discharged in 1783 and remained in Quebec. Good luck with that. Jane Hope says, find my partner's lines. So a lot of the questions were finding somebody finding this ancestor that ancestor. This is about Civil War between the states. This is Andrew Simplier from the Civil War project. He wants to find the 106th regiment from New York, the infantry regiment there. And it's also known as the St. Lawrence County regiment. From each company, try and connect company of men. All right, and connect them. Alexis to become more organized. Oh, my word. That was mine, I think. Every Saturday I wake up thinking, oh, I need to go and reorganize all of this stuff on my computer. Not really organized stuff, but put stuff where it should be. I guess that's organizing. Like it's already organized, but you know how that goes, right? Major bucket list item has always been to break down the brick wall. So brick walls were something that people talked about a lot during their answers break brick walls. Judy Stutz, Judy Stutz wants to find out who her paternal grandfather, Joseph Stutz with the help of other cousins identified on 23 and me and after taking a DNA test. And yet another cousin that had puzzle pieces of information and a desire to connect that bucket list item has finally been check it off. Nice. Yeah. Now many of the cousins are gathering to find out when and why the Waxler Escovitz family left Romania when they did. Interesting. You didn't put a date up there. We couldn't make guesses, Judy. Scottish and Irish ancestors. Good luck with that. Although the Irish archives have been virtually rebuilt so you can find a lot more information in one place and you used to be able to finding parents of my second great grandmother, Emma Louise Rose. She married George Washington couch. So she was Emma Rose couch. But I'm pumped. Wow. I also thought that was funny. I know she's not the daughter. What do you think they sang a song when they were young? Yeah, George Washington couch. George Washington Washington couch. You know, the George Washington Bridge song. You don't know the George Washington Bridge song. That other giddy American knows that. Really? Okay, sorry. Hello is answering. He wants to fill in stuff on his paternal side. Yeah. Yeah, people in the chatter still talking about the storms from last night. I would very much love to find at relatives on my mother's side, my maternal grandparents, cronin McKenna Fitzsimmons Fallon found records. That's from Bob Rhodes on the immediate family. Let's go on to the next page. Let's see, still looking for my grandfather, Isaiah Davis. And then up to find the link between my answers from Ukraine and their Prussian forebearers. The surnames of fun free tag or Von Stein. Lisa, Lisa, have I got some good news for you. If you go over to the challenge that's going on right now. Society of Germans from Russia. Lisa, check that out. That's the wiki tree challenge six. American History Society of Germans from Russia. Do you know about them? Check them out. They're, they're, they're Ashgar. Ask, ask, ask Gar. What, what would you, how would you pronounce that a h s g r? family history of Ottawa's Bifisco. Ashgar, Ashgar. Anyway, yeah, going back to the question of the week. Brian gives us a video to watch from last year. Thank you, Brian. But he still wants to do some travel to Scotland. He wants to Isle of Skye, a mystery of a group of settlers from a community called Lorgo, who were part of the clearances were put on a ship to Nova Scotia in 1830, but never heard from again, there's no record of the ship arriving. That he's been able to find nor any of the record of the ship sinking. In fact, I found records of the same ship and ships captain afterwards going to Australia just no records of this particular group of refugees. I wonder if they got blown off course and went to a different place. Could be. Yeah. And I like this one. I'd like to find one single solitary verifiable Irish record. Oh, I can so understand that. Yes. Okay. And the question, the answer of the week. That is so good. Yeah. I think I wrote it up by Chris little. It was K Smith's, I guess, putting off meeting any of my ancestors as long as possible is foremost. I read that four or five times before it clicked into me. Then trying to figure out which ones to spend an eternity with. What if you don't like the ancestors? I know God once worked with said that he didn't want to go to heaven because all of his ex-mother-in-law said that that is where they plan to spend a turn of the day. They were some of the meanest people he'd ever met. Mark Twain torn was torn between heaven for the weather and hell for the company. I guess genealogy. I'll know several either way. However, it goes. I love it as far as a bucket list. Who is the next brick wall to fall? Where is the next rabbit hole? I love that answer. And that is definitely the best answer for the question of the week. So there we go. That's fantastic. Oh, neat. Good stuff. Well, following along that nicely is the profiles of the week. Because that last one, I can't remember the name. No, no, the one before that, the one who said just to find one verifiable English record. That was Matthew Sullivan. Matthew, yes. Oh, Matthew, you're so right. Because the Irish records are hard to find, depending on what you're looking for. I did find, because I'm working on this project for for friend of mine. His family is all Catholic. And the Catholic church records are, there's a lot of those available. So, but if your family wasn't Catholic, then it's not as not quite as easy. In Canada, the Druan collection has a lot of other stuff in it as well, like because the Catholic, sometimes the Catholic clergyman in the area was the only clergyman. Right. So they ended up doing other kinds of stuff too. So that's true. That's true. But anyways, yes. So we just the wiki tree challenge prior to the American Germans in Russia. Anyways, that combination. John Tiner is your biggest fan by the way. Oh, that's nice. Oh, John, good stuff. Thanks. Was the wiki tree challenge that just ended to benefit the Northern Ireland family history society. And so we've got a number of Irish notables to look through today. So is my cursor. Where's this this time we don't we don't see no typo. I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't create that page. So if it's type of that's not my fault. It is. It's all your fault. So there was I did notice there was a type one one of these profiles and I should have gone in and edit it before we went live. But I didn't because I kind of felt that if I did that but then my name would show up here in the and get credit for you know the most recent edit and I thought well that's I didn't do any other work except you know change one little typo. So that's and that's my excuse for. So apparently John Swiss Swift is a cousin of mine 15th cousin 10 times removed but have to go back to the 1200s to find the comic connection. So he is our profile the the highlighted profile for this week. Reverend Jonathan Swift turns out because he did go and become a member of the of the church Church of Ireland, I believe it was. He had three different positions that he held clerical positions. He was a Dean at St. Patrick's Cathedral and he was actually buried in St. Patrick's Cathedral. But he was also a preband held the pre-bender of them Levin and then the pre-bender of kill root. So what's that I have a I have a point here John tiner I was going through the thing he says he met one of the profiles of the week this week. I'm hoping all of them are alive. Just. No. Yeah. I don't think. Okay. Sorry. We're gonna have to. So John don't tell us yet. Yeah. No, don't tell us. Let us guess which one. Okay. I'm pretty sure it's because that's very curious. I'm pretty sure it's not Jonathan Swift. Unless you have a time machine, pretty sure it's on him. But anyway, I had to look up what a pre-bender he was. So a pre-bender is, is the name for a can't well, depending on whether it's a now, whether it's referring to the, the place or the person who has that role is a canon, which is a cleric in a, in a church or cathedral actually. That, that receives a pension. So, so you actually receive money for it's, it's sort of like a little mind, it's a minor title, basically, and there's a pension that there's a income associated with it. So. But do you have to do something for that? Well, you would probably have to, you have to do something for the church, like it'd be whatever our canon. C-A-N-O-N, whatever that cleric. I see. Right. So it's some type of, some type of church administration or whatever. Anyways, moving on. So he was born on 30th November 1667, parish of St. Werberg's in Dublin, second child and the only son of Jonathan Swift and Abigail Eric. His father emigrated to Ireland from England. And so there's a number of these profiles where they, they're Irish because they were born in Ireland, but the family actually came originally from England. Possibly because they were some of the English land, landowners and holders and stuff. So his father had been appointed, but as a steward of the King's Inns, which is the Hall of Irish Lawyers in 1666. His mother had been born in Dublin after her father was a vicar at Leicestershire, England. So again, her mother, the mother was born in Dublin, but the father came from England. But he was prosecuted for holding an unlawful, non-conformist, conventical and forced to really care. And anyone know what a conventical is? No. And look, that went up too. Basically it's- This is his father who was convicted. Yes, this is his. Yeah. Actually, this would be his maternal grandfather who was convicted. This is why his mother ended up being in Dublin. Wow. But a conventical is- Of or relating to a convent or relating to a conventical. Yeah. So in this case, it means holding an illegal meeting. A conventical originally signified no more than assembly and was frequently used by ancient writers for a church. At semantic level, conventical is only a good Latinized synonym for the Greek word church. So he was holding illegal church sessions. That's exactly it, yes. And apparently they didn't like that. But anyways, his mother- His father had died before- His father died before he was born. His mother left him the care of a wet nurse and he was raised by his father's older brother. Went to Gilkenny School, one of the best prep schools at age six. And then went through Trinity College, Hart Hall, Oxford, which later Herkford College. He had Meniere's disease, Meniere's syndrome. So a disease of the inner Eric. So he got vertical deafness, fatigue sometimes. He became a secretary to Sir William Temple, who was an influential political diplomat. And that's where he met someone. He became named Esther Johnson, but he used a nickname for her and they became quite close in later years. He did join, let's see here. Where did it say he joined? Which church was? But then he joined the church and then he has a number of clerical appointments. So Stella was the first- He first met her at- He was her tutor when she was young. And then eventually they became quite close. And there's a theory that- The Stella- Yeah, Esther Johnson. They actually- that they were secretly married. But the research notes say that even though there are some people who've gone on the record say they were, there's other evidence or other people that claim that they weren't. And even a suspicion that they were in fact related that his father really wasn't Swift but actually a temple. And this is your closest match Betsy. Swift, yes. Interesting. Anyways, in his first, the interesting thing, in his first clerical appointment, he was- He was a- Where are we here? Now I've lost where it was. But he was dismayed by some of the people there. So that led him to his first satirical writing, which was the tub, the tale of tub, written for the universal improvement of mankind. So that was his first satire. And all this satire was published under a pen name, including Gulliver's Travel by Lemuel Gulliver, which is the one that of course everyone is most famous with, but I'm thinking this guy had lots of nerve penning something called a modest proposal preventing the children of poor people in Ireland being a burden on their parents or country. Wow. That's just, wow. Satirical. Satirical? Yeah. Yeah. Look over the pitchforks people. Yes. Anyways, that's Jonathan. What, up at the top, what does DST stand for? DST. Ooh. I don't know. I did, I missed that. Dublin. Probably not Dublin Saint. All right. Something to research. Yes. They like savings time, no. No, probably not that. Where's John? John. What is DST? Hmm. Okay. Well, let me move on to the next one. And someone else will fill us in on the DST. Henry George Ferguson. So I was kind of hoping that this guy would be my closest because, so he was born in the 1884, 4th of November in County Down, excuse me, died at the age of 75 in 1960. Still on the wall, Gloucester, England. He's close, but not close enough. Not close enough, no. But he was born and counted down in Ireland. And he was, he continued to play for the forest, where he lived in the woods. We had a plant inленic, but in my my dad's hometown, Harry, became a mechanic and developed the three point linkage system for the modern day tractor. Woohoo. All the tractors on our farm growing up were Massey Ferguson tractors, which is funny. We had cousins and they were all John Deere family. So all their tractors. Did you guys have a feud? If our parents weren't alive, you know, and we could do what we wanted, we might have thought of doing that, but anyways. So I was kind of hoping when I saw Ferguson there, and this is the Ferguson from Massey Ferguson. Wow. It's like, wow. It's like meeting your one of your heroes. Joke, go down to your categories list and then look right up above. There's a box that will show all of your on your profile. There's a box that will show all of your connections to all of these people. But I think is Joe talking about the when it says that the direct connection that would come through. Well, that would be from the browser extension. Yes. Is that your real name or is that a joke? Joke. Well, because it's April Fool's. Yeah, really? Yeah. Yeah. So I am because I'm a cousin and I have the wiki tree browser extension. We have an answer. Yay. Distinguished service award in Ireland. Thank you, Judy. Thank you. Nice. Thank you very much. Oh, wait. And then she says no, that's DFA. So maybe we still don't have it. So go ahead. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So his tractor improvements were patented as far away as Australia. They were certainly patented in Canada and the US. So very, very successful with that. Then we have his marriage and his family had a daughter. He and his brother designed the first airplane to fly in Ireland, the model plane. In 1909, he also developed a Formula One race car, which debuted in 61 Grand Prix. And then there's a few other things here. And that the year everybody wants to watch the Grand Prix is the 61 Grand Prix. Isn't that the one that was so immortalized in some of the movies with Steve McQueen and stuff? I think. Oh, maybe. I'm not into racing, so I missed that. So that's cool. And then, of course, Meg's favorite, Arthur Guinness. Yes. Is this your closest? No. My closest is Harry Ferguson. Ah, there we go. So we each couldn't get the one closest that we wanted. Arthur Guinness, born on 1725 Oakley Park, Selbridge, Ireland, and passed away at the age of 77, 1803 in Beaumont County, Dublin. Of course, he's famous for being the creator of the Guinness Stout and the founder of the Guinness Brewery, St. James Gate. So his place of birth has been subject to question or family tradition. And so it's the home of his reed grandparents because the custom then was for the expectant mother to go back to her parents' home to give birth. I guess, presumably, her mother would still be alive and would be a little more caring and understanding than the husband who wouldn't know what to do with a new birth. That's my guess on what that family tradition is about, but he kind of makes sort of sense. Woohoo. Yeah, that's tiny or impressive. 10 degrees. Wow. Oh, but he still wouldn't have been away. He still couldn't have met him. Well, and he couldn't have gotten a free beer. Couldn't have gotten a free beer from him. No. But I think I have a picture of me in front of the Guinness place in Dublin. Wow. So you actually, I'm wondering, John, are you actually related or is it 10 degrees through a marriage? So he says, John Gratton, Guinness married my first cousin five times removed. There we go. Very cool. So he married, he married a daughter and an heiress of William Whitmore. And they had at least 21 children. 21 children. And I noticed you said at least, Greg. Yeah, at least. Which only 10 or 12 survived to adulthood. Like, I mean, first of all, going through that many pregnancies, but then to lose half of them, like that's just heartbreaking. Wow. I wonder. That poor woman. Yeah, maybe somewhere multiple births. So maybe there weren't as many pregnancies per se, but still, I don't know. Multiple births of that poor woman. I know. I don't know. If you had twins, like me, if there are a bunch of twins, twins is, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what to say. But his father was a brewer, because his father brewed beer on the estate. That was part of his responsibility to brew the beer for the workers at the estate that he worked at for the Archbishop of Casual. And so he learned about brewing from his father by helping his father. And then he started a small brewer himself. And then he gave a gift of that business to his younger brother. He said, Oh, yeah, this one's okay. You take this one. I'm going to start. I'm going to go on and do a better one. And he signed a lease at a brewery where it was failing in St. James Gate in Dublin. And that one, he was brewing a new dark rail called Porter. And then from eight years, he went from just being a new member of the brewery society, the corporation to become the master of the corporation. And that's when he decided to make only Guinness Porter in his brewery. And of course, the rest is history and Guinness is just famous worldwide. Lovely day for a Guinness. I enjoyed drinking Guinness, but I didn't drink the stout. They have a lighter one. I enjoyed that. Seamus Justin Haney. Okay, he died in 2013. So this could be the one that John meant. John said last week, I thought. Yeah, he did say. What? Okay, that must be April Fool's joke then. I don't think any of them were alive last week. We'll see. Born on April 13, 1939, in Tamnerin, Bali, Skellion County, London Dairy, Northern Ireland, and passed away in Black Rock County, Dublin in 2013, age 74. So he's a famous Irish poet born at the family farmhouse called Moss Bound. It's cool how the houses have names. It's between Castle Dawson and Toomey Bridge, and attended Anna Horsch Primary School, and then moved to Bellehy. But he didn't play for the Bellehy football team. He played for the Castle Dawson football team. I can't believe that. I know. What's he doing? But he was buried in Bellehy after all, you know, in the St. Mary's graveyard. He was a Nobel Prize poet laureate. Widely recognized as one of the major poets of the 20th century. The first nine children. His father was a farmer. And Sears published works, made collections. I must confess, I don't think I've read any of his poems or have any of his books, but from 1966 to 2010. So that's quite a span. Pretty prolific. Very prolific. And if you're interested in doing more research, Prone, which is the public records of Northern Ireland, holds some of the letters and cards written by Seamus Haney, along with some newspaper cuttings. So that's come some interesting, you know, primary source material there. John Wilson Kyle, rugby player, born on the 10th of February 1926 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, died 27 November, 2014. Brinesburg, crowned down Northern Ireland, 2014. So within John Tyner's lifespan as well. So possibly could have met him. Down to four children. His father was a manager of the North British rubber company. And he attended Belfast Royal Academy. He excelled at boxing, cricket and rugby. But he also started medicine and became a doctor. He made it. So here's a whole bunch of rugby terms that will mean a lot to some people and will just be words, random words I'm reading for others. He made his debut at Out Half for the Ireland rugby team age 19 against England that lands down road in 1946. He won 46 caps for Ireland, nicknamed the ghost. Grand Slam with Ireland and 48 toured Australia, New Zealand with the British New Irish Lions. That was the team he was on in 1950. He played 19 matches, including all six tests and scoring seven tries. My son Ben played rugby, so I'm good. I understand all this. I understand everything there. And they became captain of Ireland of the Ireland rugby team in 1953. I hated going to his games. It was a rough game without any pads or helmets or anything. It's, ooh. Yeah. So, there you go. So, but he all outside of rugby, you said it's a really rough game. Yes. Outside of rugby, he read American poetry and plays. There you go. And he liked listening to good music. And he held a rival class every Sunday, maybe praying for all the people he heard on the pitch. You said he was a doctor eventually, right? And he was a doctor. Yes. Very well read. He had two children, was married. He became a doctor because he saw the damage that was done during rugby games. That's right. And so after he retired from rugby, which was in 63 and 66, he moved to Zambia. Guess who he met. You have met Seamus Haney. Haney. And he moved to Zambia last week. I didn't see him say last week. I thought you said he said, I thought I saw that, but I could be wrong. Yeah. Okay. So, yeah. You did guess that that was who I did guess that that was one he could have. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. But yeah. So very impressed. So after his rugby, then he went and did good work being docked doctor in Zambia. doctor in Zambia and also apparently in Indonesia as well. So very impressive. William Boyd was born 4th of July, 1931. Glenn Gormley, county answering. And he was one of the profiles from the challenge. Let's see what what they did because I remember it didn't have very much on it. Okay well let's look at his ancestry is now pretty cool. Well done. Wow and some of these go further back, right? Let's see if we go to David. Yeah, goes back another generation. Yeah, that's very impressive. Good stuff. Good stuff, wiki tree challengers. Nice. Yeah, so I have a friend who was born on the 4th of July, but he was born, he was actually born in Ireland. Actually, I'm now I'm thinking of it as well, but he's not, he doesn't have a profile here. He's still, but he says, you can have him with his permission. I mean, yeah, he'd be unlisted though, if he's still alive. But he says, the Americans celebrate that I wasn't born in America. So that's kind of funny. That's his joke. Anyways, he died. So all the rest of the people we've done so far have had, you know, fairly, fairly decent lifespans. This is the beginning of a trend we're going to see for the later ones. He died at only 45, which is way too young. But he was an Irish actor, came to the stage acting stage as an adult. So he wasn't a child actor. His most notable role was Masala, who was the bad guy in the film been her. Yeah. Yeah. But he did lots of other things. He was in 60 films altogether. He was also in a film called jumbo. Now that's not dumbo, like that's not related to dumbo, the elephant, is it? No, but I let me look it up really quick. I remember watching that because he got a Golden Globe nomination for that. Jumbo, the elephant, the circus elephant. It is an elephant. Yeah. Huh. Interesting. So sometimes he was a hero. Sometimes he was the malefactor of the villain. And there's a lot of factor. I know that's a cool word. Wow. These Irish profiles, they use big words. I'm going to have to use that today. Yes. Youngest of nine siblings born to Irish Canadian parents. Very cool. Got to get the Canadian in there somewhere. Yeah, we've got another Canadian coming up too. He took his mother's maiden name because he thought Stephen Boyd would stand out better than just Stephen Miller. Yeah, I was going to ask about that. Can you just go to the top again? So we had a lot of surname activity for him. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. So formerly Miller. So he was born Miller. His father's name was Miller. His mother's maiden name was Boyd, which sounds more Irish than Miller. Miller sounds English. And so he wanted to come across as Irish and more memorable. So that's where he chose Stephen Boyd. Though his, like his name is William Stephen, and he went by his middle name as opposed to William. Anyways, he had two marriages, one very short. He got married during the filming of Ben Hur, but they separated just after three weeks and then were divorced a year later. So yeah, those romances on set. Oh, those on set romances. But he died at 45 of a massive heart attack playing golf with his wife, but still, man, how devastating would that be? Devastating. Yeah, terrible. 45, way too young. Yes. Robert William Moore is our next born in Belfast, died in 2011. Again, could have met John Tiner. Could have met, but that was not his claim to fame. That was not to be. Though John probably wouldn't have objected to going to Spain to meet someone. He was a Northern Irish musician. Over the course of his career, he performed a range of music, including blues, blues rock, hard rock, heavy metal, jazz fusion, and was often described as a virtuoso and been cited as an influence by many other guitar players. So he grew up, he was with four siblings. His father got him interested in music at the age of six when he was invited him to sing sugar time on stage. He only, but he died quietly in his sleep due to a heart attack, another heart attack on the 6th of February, 2011. And he was 58. Vacationing in the Estapona, Spain at the time with his girlfriend. And then he was laid to rest at St. Margaret's Cemetery. His, the donations were directed to Teenage Cancer Trust and a special needs charity project, so that's kind of impressive. His son, Jack and his uncle, Cliff, sang Danny Boy at his funeral, which brought people to tears. Next, we have Ruby Murray, Ruby Lamar. No, Ruby, yeah, Ruby Murray, daughter of Daniel Murray and Wilhelmina Connolly, born on 29th of March, 1935 in Belfast. Died at the age of 61 in 1996 in Torque, Devon, England. Do you pronounce that Torque or Torque? Torque, Torque, never quite sure. It's Torque, Torque, Torque. Okay, someone in the back. I have no idea. I've seen that word before and I'm just never quite sure. Maybe somebody in the chat. Like if it was just Q, U, A, Y, it's a key, right? Torque, I think. Yes, Torque, Torque, Torque, Torque. Is it Torque or Torque? We're all Torque. We're all darky, Torque. GSL says it's Torque. We have it, Torque. Okay, Torque. Thank you. Rob Murray was a Northern Irish singer and Ruby Murray was a Northern Irish singer and one of the most popular singers in the British Isles in the 1950s. And she was referred to having one on four children. She had a surgery done on her throat when she was a baby, which left her with a very husky voice. So that would be very distinctive. She made her debut at age 12. When a well-known television producer, Richard Afton, spotted her. She met Bernie Burgess, a member of a popular quartet in 1957. And after she left Northern Ireland to marry him and lived in Northampton, Ireland, England, Ruby and Bernie were divorced in 77. Bernie is still living as is their daughter. Their son Tim Murray died in 2020, that said. And then she later married Lorraine Lamar. Now this is the interesting part I found. In the 1960s, a new phrase entered in the language of cockney rhyming slang with when Ruby Murray was adopted as the alternative from Curry. And so going for a Ruby became such a common expression that many Indian restaurants even took the name the Ruby. Nice. Isn't that cool? So then I had to remind myself how the cockney rhyming slang worked and what that meant. So the way it worked was for those who don't know, you take a phrase, which has multiple words. So like Ruby Murray, and you substitute, you use the last word Murray, you look for something that rhymes with that. So Curry rhymes with Murray. But instead of saying Murray, you actually use the first word Ruby. So you're saying I'm going for a you want you want to send going for a curry, send going for a Ruby, knowing that Ruby means Murray Murray's rhymes of curry. It's like a code. It's a code. It's a weird code. And I actually looked up on Wikipedia. It has and not some examples. I'm going up the apples. When you actually mean going up the stairs because stairs rhymes with pairs, apples and pairs. I hear your grand dog. Yeah, our grand dog is there. I got to cross the frog because I'm going to cross the row frog and toad road. I'm just using the one I'm not making this up. I'm following what Wikipedia is saying here. Apples and pairs old Joanna, oceans 11 Barney. That's people are throwing out other code for you there. Oh my goodness. Old. Yeah, I don't unless they're on here. I'm not sure. This hurts my brain. It's kind of it's wild. But anyways, I thought that was interesting. So there we digress. Francis is really us digress. I know. I know. You know what? For April fools, we should have just done everything straight with no digressions. That would have been the full thing. Yeah, really. Fanny Parnell, born Francis is about oh, oh, oh, you should know this one. Old Joanna is a piano. Okay. And here's the thieves can't. Okay. Born in County Wicklow, Ireland died in 1882 at the age of 33. Another tragic early death. She was an Irish poet and an Irish nationalist. She was born at the Avondale estate in County Wicklow. And she was described as a poet. The poetess of the family knew every book in the library at Avondale. She was a regular little Irish rebel, dark hair and hazel eyes and very witty. Her father, John Henry Parnell and his family belong to the Protestant Anglo Irish landed gentry. But her political and social views seem to have come from various other sources. So her mother was the daughter of an American naval commodore and that fed some of her anti-British sentiments. And her grandfather had written novels and pamphlets attacking the English injustice. So she was famously in favor of the tenant's rights and home rule for Ireland. She wanted to have the, she was a poet and writer at young age. She was an Asunanum. So then Irish national land league was formed in 1879 to bring about the reduction of rents and to facilitate the obtaining of ownership of the soil by the occupiers. So the people who worked on the land should be able to own the land. Right. They wanted to abolish the landlordism that was in Ireland. It's called the land war. So one of the people in charge of that was her brother, her brother Charles Stuart Parnell, and he was jailed. But she and her sister, Fanny and her sister Anna, were instrumental. They raised funds for the Irish land league in support of the brother. She went to America, Fanny did. Anna stayed in Ireland in England, worked through England and Ireland. Fanny worked in the United States, organized and speaking at rallies, writing pamphlets and stuff. When the brother got out of jail, he was released, but on the condition that the lead would be disbanded and that he paid off the debt, which was a draft of 5,000 pounds overdraft. But then suddenly she passed away. Suddenly she died of a heart attack, apparently at the age of 33. What's that? Another heart attack. Another heart attack. Yeah, 30s. In her 30s. Yeah. And then her sister couldn't deal with that. And she suffered herself a physical and mental collapse after that. So a said ending for both. But there you have it. Poor Fanny Parnell. Welcome, James Peary. Born in Canada in Quebec City, in fact, in Canada East. So they wrote Canada. Well, you know what? The parents were English, so they would have called it Canada East. But if you were born in Quebec City in that time and you were French speaking, you would have just called it Bah Canada, which is basically Canada East, lower Canada. So interesting, he was given granted two titles, but he was the only one to hold the titles. So they were created newly for him, and they were extinct upon his passing. So short-lived titles, Barone and the Viscount. But he's most famous as being in charge of Harlan Wolf, the company that built the Titanic. The son of James Peary and Eliza Montgomery. His father was the son of a Belfast shipowner. He went to Canada to enter the trade for shipping timber, you know, because they need large timbers to build these ships. He attended. So when his father passed away, he came back. So at age two, he returned to Ireland or returned. He went to Ireland and then lived there. So his time in Canada was short-lived. But still, we can still call it Cleyma as a Canadian born. He excelled at school, joined the company, became part of the company with, they created three ships, the Oceanic and the Olympic, and the sister ship, the Titanic in 1911. When he was asked about whether there were sufficient life rafts on the Titanic prior to its faithful inaugural voyage, he replied the ship was unsinkable and the life rafts were for rescuing others. His words would haunt him for the rest of his life. His co-worker and his nephew, Thomas Andrews, was one of the many who died on the Titanic. And in fact, he himself was supposed to be on that voyage, but he took ill prior to the departure so he couldn't go. There we go. He was despite that. So in 1906, he was created the first baron, Peary, for valuable service to the government during the war and the first by-count Peary in 1921. So there we go. He died of pneumonia, though, aboard a ship following a business trip to South America. And then the final profile of the week is Edmund John Millington-Singe, who is, again, a distant cousin of mine, 24 degrees, born on 16th of April, 1871, in Dublin, Ireland, and a playwright, educated at Trinity College, won prizes in Irish and Hebrew, interestingly, interest in nature, roamed the Dublin Mountains and the Wicklow Glens. Instead of the Academy of Music, met Yates, who advised him to return to islands and write about life there. So he spent some years there and wrote about the islands of Aron. His greatest comedy, which he's most well known for, is the Playboy of the Western World, which I'm not familiar with, but apparently caused a riot on its first Abbey production. After an underlying note of tragedy seemed abhorrent to the Dublin audiences, so apparently he didn't read the room very well. Yeah, that makes me think of Rite of Spring. Remember how that caused a riot? Yeah. Yeah. So he died at, how old was he? He died at 37, again, a young one, bachelor. Didn't say what he died of, but there we have it. Very sad. And there are your profiles of the week. Excellent. Thank you, Greg. Well, there were a few more sport photos that came in this week, so I thought we could look at those. So we have, I can't, honestly, I can't remember if we saw this one last week. Yeah, I think so, because someone was saying, Mag was saying that's not rock climbing, that's wood climbing. Oh, okay. All right. Well, here it is again. But it says they're practicing, so they're really practicing for rock climbing. And then we had this kayaking one from Robin Shaw's. That's beautiful. In, in Tas, look, Tasmania, Australia. That's pretty. Gorgeous. And then here is Whiffleball. I love the really sharp looking caption here. Nice. Yeah, let's see who did this. Oh, Dieter. No, no. I can't remember who. Maybe it was, I guess it was Wesley. Yeah. And this was also in the G2G post. And they said that it was a tradition at family gatherings to always play games. So this was our family gathering. Yeah. So next month, April's theme is couples. And I checked this morning, the G2G post just went up this morning, and there was, there were no photos yet in either the free space page or the G2G post. So find your photos of couples and put them up there. We will look at them. Also, yesterday was the final day of the first ever We Will Walk You. Yes. Nice. And we did, we rocked those five people. You rocked, eh? Good. Good. We will have a wrap up video on next Thursday. We don't have a link for it yet, but watch the AON's What's Happening on Wiki Tree in April, G2G post, and the link will be up there. And it'll be at 6.30 Eastern Standard Time, 6.30 PM. Thursday. Thursday. There's actually a lot going on. Because then later that night, I'm doing a new member Zoom, and that's back to back with something else. And so, yeah. Wow. People, but luckily you can catch things on the, on the, on the video. So, yeah. And to wrap up on my week of iPad use. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I, my final verdict is I was pleasantly surprised. Nice. Yes. And I really agree with Greg that I would not do anything that involved a lot of writing, heavy writing, but certainly for, for just, you know, creating profiles and adding sources and that sort of thing. It worked just great. Great. We had a really good, really good response in the G2G when I asked about it a couple of weeks ago. Are we seeing that now? Yeah. So this is from Alexandra Schultz. I'm not sure if she's in the, in the chat, but I've got really good comments here. She, she uses a Bluetooth keyboard. And I would, now that I'm back this week, I wouldn't ladder. You were being strict with me. Yes. That's right. And a Bluetooth pen. I didn't even, I guess that would, that would help. You know, I actually, when I was playing around with WikiTree Plus and I, I look for suggestions on one of the profiles I had created, I had put the date place, death place as United States Eye. I think I might not have done that if, you know, I was typing or if I had something more precise. Right. So if you had, if you had a keyboard, then the, the restriction of not doing something with lots of writing would be gone away. So you could, in fact, with the keyboard, you could get the iPad could totally take over. Yeah. And Alexandra even shadows via airplay to a TV for reading sources. I thought that was a great idea. Like me, she doesn't use the app. She uses the web based versions of, you know, Ancestry and Family Search. She did mention about not adding in browser extensions. And I do want to speak to that because I had not previously had any browser, any extensions on my Safari and the iPad, but I went to add Sorcerer and it was very easy. So I mean, I didn't know what I was doing, but I figured, well, you know, what's, what's the worst that can happen? And it is, it is five dollars for, you have to purchase Sorcerer to put it on your iPad browser, but just Safari in particular. That's just wrong. But once I, once I authorized that, that charge and it just popped up, it was painless. We appreciate you going down that rabbit hole for us. Yeah. Yeah. And the split screen mode that great, that Alexandra mentions it and I, I, and Greg had mentioned I think my iPad is too old. Yeah, I googled like how do I do a split screen and, and I didn't, I didn't have the things to allow me to do that. My iPad's about six, seven years old. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I think mine is about the, is that the, because you know, the, they come different sizes, right? So on mine, if I do split screen, then I can see enough on each generally, but if I had a smaller one, if I, like my wife has an iPad mini, it's a little too small. I get, you can do split screen on it. If it's recent enough, but I don't know if it's workable. Right. So, but it is handy to have the tooth sides open and able to. Oh, I can see it would be. Yes. Yeah. Yay. That's so fun. And the reason that got started was that there was somebody in the Appalachian project, shout out, who actually sent me a message after the live cast and said that they were on an Apple iPad and they couldn't keep up or they couldn't do stuff on their iPad quick enough. And I said to Betsy, Betsy, there's somebody in the Appalachian project who is not having a good time using an iPad with WikiTree. And Betsy said, oh, well, I got this. And she jumped in with both her feet, all five of her feet. Yeah. Thank you so much. You know, it was fun. I learned a lot. We have something coming up this week on WikiTree, what's happening around. Betsy already mentioned the Thursday night stuff we've got. You're here with us this morning. So the Saturday roundup live cast is almost in the tank. Alish is doing what do you want to know about WikiTree Plus? Yeah, we're doing that together. Yeah. Are you going to be in there with them for us? Yeah, I'm the host. So I feed him the lines and then I feed him the questions and he gives all the answers. That's a good one. Nine o'clock. New member of Q&A with Betsy Co. There you go. April the 6th. We'll be here on April the 8th next week for the Saturday roundup live cast. And probably back in, well, no, WikiTree has changed its color scheme. So oh, yeah, yeah, we're blue. And it's wiki free, not WikiTree, wiki free. Bingo is coming up on the 14th for the Cemetery Project and the Titanic Project. Kind of interesting that we were talking about the owner of the Titanic Company. And we've got other things coming up. BioBuilders, people who died before their 18th birthdays. Connect Canada Notables, Black History Heritage Notables, GDG Integrators, Long Challenge, Jetty, Puritan Great Migration, the Sorcerers, US Black Heritage Connecting. The Connectathon, the registration is open. Here you go. Let's go to that one. Look at that coming up. Yeah. I'll be there. I haven't signed up yet though. So I should. Oh, you should. I should answer this post. Oh, and I just realized that my other, the other new members Zoom were doing it on the 16th in the midst of Connectathon. That'll be interesting. We wanted, we wanted to just stay away from Easter. It would have normally been on Easter, but I'm assuming the cornbread catchers are a team this time. But if not, I'll switch over. The Appalachian Project isn't a team yet. Really? No, they're just, they're still under the Virginia. So they're part of the Virginia stuff. Oh yeah. I'm team Canada this year, this, this round. This round. I twisted this all. So I just signed up. That's as easy it is as it is. Look at that. There we go. All right. So back to where I was. There we go. So we've got that coming up and then the ongoing, the US governor. So check it out. I don't have the social media feed up yet today, but you can find that easily by going find. Let's go down here to the projects. Hello. There we go. Projects. Scroll down to the ambassadors projects. There we go. Click on that. Hey, as, and then run over here down here. There's some tabs. Find the social media tab. And if you have a social media account, you'd like to share some information about WikiTree. You can do that. Question of the week. One name study, one place study, WikiTree plus show project showcase. New member Q&A. Don't know what that is, Betsy Co. Or no. And I'm Gams, Dukelin and Greg Aclair. So that's, that's the week. So you guys have a good week and we'll see you next Saturday. And I'll see you in the other meeting that he's telling me to go to.
