How many of us know anything about our ancestors?

A photo I took a while ago now of the Gleno waterfall – Co.Antrim … I stood that day looking into the constant flow of water and I could swear that I saw faces … perhaps ghosts from the distant past … people that did what I was doing only from a time now forgotten. It made me think of my own past and ancestry … so i’ve placed a stock photo of ‘Stonewall’ in there … one of our family members from long ago … the good folk in the Carolinas may or may not appreciate this one …. no offence intended !!!

Tsalagi – Cherokee is my ancestry and Sequoyah is my hero, as he inspired the first indian alphabet written in 1822. He is also one of two representatives of the Cherokee tribe (with Will Rogers) in the National Statuary Hall in the Nation’s Capitol Building, Washington, D.C. Tsalagi – Cherokee Blessing / May the warm winds of Heaven blow softly on your home, / And the Great Spirit bless all who enter there. / May your mocassins make happy tracks in many snows, / And may the rainbow always touch your shoulder. The photograph is again a sunset to the west of our cabin with an additional photograph of a bronze bust of Sequoyah. Cherokee by Walela / /

Detail of a painted bust carving depicting a Native American warrior. I found this sculpture while staying at a friend’s grandmother’s house in Lower Island Cove, Newfoundland. In fact, I only noticed the morning after that he had been staring at me all night with those stark, penetrating eyes.

Eighth in the series, this shot was taken at Chaco Canyon, at the Chetra Ketl Ruins. By 500 AD, the Basketmakers (Anasazi) used many plants, mostly yucca fiber for baskets, clothing and other tools. By 600 AD, their trading efforts expanded to create surplus storage rooms to accomodate their cultivated beans, pinion nuts, berries, wild and domesticated game, as well as possessions and the addition of bows and arrows, and making pottery for storage containers, shaped as jars, bowls, pitchers, ladles, canteens, figurines and miniatures.

This is the true spirit of “Aloha”. In Hawaii, you get to sample the local ancestry while seated at a luau. Good food, beautiful women, and hotter than “hell-fire” men! / However, none of these shots were taken in Hawaii. These are actually from Walt Disney World’s Polynesian Resort in Florida. / Two times a night, Monday through Saturday, they hold a luau for the resort guests. It is a very wonderful recreation of events that take place at an actual Hawaiin luau. / There are dancers trained in all forms of Polynesian dancing and story telling. All of the cast members are from Hawaii, which makes it more special and authentic. Even the flowers are native to the Hawaiin Islands! I want to thank Wolfllink for lending me his Hawaiin firedancer, Luau lady, Tropical flowers, and Volcano for this compilation of Polynesian events. The sky is my own from Red October.

“In Loving Memory of our dear Father & Mother, / William Coughlan Native of Kilmacow, / Co. Kilkenny Ireland. / Sergt. N.F.L.D Constabulary / Died Nov. 28. 1894, Aged 60 Yrs.” A quick Genealogy search on http://kilkenny.brsgenealogy.com (registration required) shows of two William Coughlans born in 1831-1832 in Co. Kilkenny, Ireland. One of them could possibly be buried here at Mount Carmel if the man’s age was incorrect on the marker. Many Newfoundlanders can trace their ancestry back to one or more of the many settlers who immigrated from Ireland to start a new life on our island. Mount Carmel Cemetery, St. John’s, Newfoundland.

Being a so-called “mixed-breed mongrel” has its advantages … resilience is one I can think of; resistance and immunity, are but a couple of others, and difference is also good to have. By the way, this is a poem about me, not you in particular. So don’t get all uppity and offended. After all, its my heritage and ancestry I’m proclaiming — all of it. / It’s “New World Dreaming” in the flesh. Namaste, and have a bloodied great life.

My 2nd-great-grandfather, Isaac Chapman. His wife, my 2nd great-grandmother, Mary Alice Cooksey, was a 2nd cousin to Virginia Cooksey, the mother of famous lawman, Wyatt Earp. Isaac was digging sewers for the City when he was trapped in a cave-in. (uploaded photo for a specific challege) ============================================================ / Newspaper account of Isaac Chapman’s death: Connersville (Indiana) Daily Examiner, Wednesday, October 19, 1910. ISAAC CHAPMAN KILLED IN DITCH / Met Death Almost Instantly In Cave-In ENGAGED IN LAYING TILE Fellow workers Extricated Body From Debris … Andy Wissel, Employed With Him, Received Severe Bruises. Isaac Chapman, aged about sixty-two years, met death about five o’clock last evening while laying tile in a ditch just below the lower foundry. The bank of the ditch, which was about six feet deep, caved in, catching Mr. Chapman in the avalanche of dirt and pinning him to the ground. Three other men who were working with him at the time rushed to his assistance and found him entirely covered, excepting his head, which protruded from the pile of debris. Some of the foundry employees and some tile drivers just below also hurried to the scene and in a very short time succeeded in extricating his body, death having occurred before he could be gotten out. Andy Wissel, who was working near Mr. Chapman, was slightly bruised on one shoulder by the fall of debris. Although able to be out today his injuries are causing him pain. After the coroner’s examination the body of Mr. Chapman was taken to the undertaking rooms of Charles Thompson and later to the residence on west Ninth street. Mr. Chapman was born at Cedar Grove, Ind., sixty-one years ago last February. About twelve years ago he came to this city where has since resided and made himself known to a large circle of friends. He is survived by a widow and seven children. They are Mrs. John Siebert, Mrs. Norman Shaw, Floyd, Earl and Clyde of this city, Howard of Indianapolis and Roy of Youngstown, O. The funeral will be held at the residence at 2:30 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Rev. L.O. Newcomer officiating. The men were in the employ of Neal & Stoll, the plumbers and the ditch they were digging was for the city sewer system. Coroner Spicely has not yet completed his investigation and inquest and will probably not render a verdict before Friday. OBITUARY: The Daily Examiner, Connersville, Ind., Thursday October 20, 1910, Page 1. ISAAC CHAPMAN WAS LAID TO REST TO-DAY The funeral of Isaac Chapman, who was killed Tuesday evening in a cave-in near the foundry, was held at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon at the late residence on west Ninth street. Rev. L.O. Newcomer of the Central Christian church officiated. Mrs. V.J. Barker and Mrs. Frank Runyan sang some beautiful and impressive selections. The cortege then moved to the city cemetery where interment was made. The pallbearers were Charles Ray, George Gregg, William Hubbell, Mike Redman, William Goodwin and Albert Buckley.

This is the tombstone for my husband’s great grandparents on his dad’s side. It is just an awesome stone to me….dated so far back, and with the crucifix in the middle of their names. The best part….Born in Germany…. the memories they must have had, and carried with them through out their lives. His dad’s side is of Polish heritage. :) He lived 90 yrs and she lived 80 yrs. Wow! Here’s a bit of History that is really neat too! The church where this cemetery is behind is called St. Stanislaus Catholic Church. It’s so neat because the name Stanislaus goes way back in the Pasket family. We have found out that several Pasket men had that name or even the nickname Stash that came alone with it. My husband’s gpa (his dad’s dad) is named (was..he’s passed also) Stanislaus (everyone called him Stash).....Dennis’ dad and along with two of Dennis’ sisters were baptisted at this church…most of the Pasket family (his dad’s family) are buried here….and we named our youngest son after Dennis’ Gpa Stanislaus Pasket. I just love that name!! And…the church St. Stanislaus Catholic…is still going strong…their Priest is a wonderful man….so glad we were able to meet him even in the sad circumstances.
