The beginnings of my self portrait. Everything is text. My diaries… written to create my image… genealogy…. an archeology of me… all figures presented through text…
The chapel in the village of Methven in Perthshire scotland. Easter Saturday – in between snow showers. / We were there looking at headstones in the pursuit of genealogical research
On one side of the house lived the assistant and, on the other side the bridge-keeper. / One of the two had night duty and had the lanter…
On a recent broadcast of the Conversation Hour, with Richard Fidler, I heard Don Akenson, professor of history at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada, say that genealogy is made up of stories. / The husband of one of my aunts, gathered my mother’s mother’s memories and wrote them in an exercise book, in November, 1964. / I translated them, in July, 1992, to ensure that my son and daughter will have an insight into their great-grandmother’s life. / They have seen where my grand-parents lived, in Gouda, The Netherlands.

Olden hands, open book / Flip from page to page / Familiar smile, misty eyes / Long for bygone days / / Pictures old and tattered / Stagnant …

Lots of RB views on this and no comments, release your inner geek and comment, either on the words or image I created these faces useing the face creator used at the start of oblivion(exept for sheogorathmade by bethesda softworks) in the game there is no such group as the sheos that idea is of my own creation but the shivering isle, sheogorath(top middle) & oblivion are all created by bethesda softworks. the following are Descriptions of the charicters of my invention Sheoblia: bottom left Sheogorath’s Forth child a representative of mania she has a fascination with butterflies that she keeps alive with magic “so there pretie wings may flutter” as she says while pinning them to boards. She enjoys archery as her magika from keeping her collection alive is always too low for casting spells. She rules over the logistics of the golden saints. There pay, time off, all the logistical things that Sheogorath never worries about. She loves her father dearly and would do anything he asked, but she has no trust for her siblings and spends most of her time caring for her father or spending time with the golden saints. Sheoolen: top left Sheogorath’s youngest child he is a representative of mania he loves plants and as such he is mania’s groundskeeper “keeping mania … happy” as he mutters constantly. He has 3 / Handmaidens who brush he’s long hair, the longest out of all the Sheos. He would never get into combat “My hair” he shouts when anyone mentions fighting, or running for that matter. He has no interest in he’s father. Who threatens he’s hair constantly with scissors or dye. He spends most of his time with he’s plants who “tell me things about all the people, all there secrets” Sheositta: bottom middle Sheogorath’s first child, the most secretive sheo. Sheogorath could not decide if Sheositta was of mania or dementia the result was that a “genetic” disorder, I use that in the loosest form of the word was given to Sheositta. Rumor says she has her own underground labyrinth in the suicide hills (that she was born in and has never left) and that Sheogorath visits her each night. On odd nights he weeps and on even nights he verbally abuses her for turning out the way she did. She rules over the creatures such as the skinless hounds and the other results of Sheogorath’s unbalanced madness. She is the only child other than Sheothia and Sheogorath to have both eyes of madness (mania and dementia, gold and sapphire). Her disorder makes her deathly pale with bruised eye sockets, scarlet lips and yellow skin under the mouth, her other symptoms include nausea, hypochondria, paranoia, migraines and voices in her head. She is so sick that she cares little for her duties to the creatures of the realm, her father or her siblings. Sheodiean: bottom right Sheogorath’s third child and the first with only the eyes of dementia and representative of / Dementia. A fighter using the dawnblade (even at night when the blade is supposed to turn into the duskblade) he loves he’s father and aches to go on crusades throughout the isle and beyond. He rules over blood lust and vampires (who seem to be few in the isle) attacking all the creatures of the isle, keeping the numbers manageable because of Sheositta’s lack of control over them. He has no care for mortals or he’s family except for Sheothia and Sheogorath. Sheothia and Sheodiean often hunt together in the mortal world for animals and the occasional errand for their father. The only sheo with cropped hair. Sheothia: top right The Sheogorath’s second child a representative of dementia but with both eyes of madness when she found her true calling to dementia (but she was in realm of normality and knew nothing of her father so she just called it “love of the blue eye”) at the age of 2 (the are born at there current “appearance age” and they only grow in wisdom) she grew her hair on her right fringe to cover her eye of mania. She loves and rules over the dark seducers but they do not trust her because of her mania eye but they trust Sheogorath and they follow Sheothia’s rule by he’s order. She also rules over the hunt (unlike blood lust the hunt is rational and well planed). She is calm. But angry constantly at her father, Sheothia is the only sheo born out of the realm only finding out about the strange door when she turned 50 after she had found out about the Daedra princes. And noticed her strength speed inability to be seriously wounded, to fly with a mutter of tcl and to kill with a word “killall” (one word, not a typo) she yelled her way past haskill and was told her identity by him. She promptly joined her father as a ruler of the shivering isle. She hunts with the duskblade.

For those of you who are not aware of this, The National Archives of Ireland have published online the 1911 census for Ireland (32 counties).If you are interested in your Irish roots, or just want to browse, here’s the link Be warned! Browsing this census is nearly as addictive as RedBubble! A problem I had is that my grandmother’s maiden name, Doherty, is very common in the part of Donegal that she hailed from. So I’m going to have to find out more from relatives. It’s a bit like being a detective. / Agnes xxx

My Barklay ancestor is not from the Celtic nation of Scotland nor even Ireland but from the amazing land of Cornwall, one of the 7 Celtic Nations of the World. Cornish people are different from the English and they embrace their Celtic heritage, with mythical legends such as King Arthur and his knights galloping into Camelot or Tintagel castle as today it is known…there is no Faeries in Cornwall, the Pixies drove them all out long ago…the magical Celtic land of Cornwall, the land of my great, great grandfather… John Danell Barklay was born in 1842 in Truro, the only city in Cornwall, travelling around he left Great Britain and arrived in America where he joined the Federal Army for a while, moving on to Australia, first settling in South Australia he became manager and inspector of silver and lead mines. He eventually settled in Durham County, Newcastle, NSW, Australia and became a mining shareholder leasing Eaton’s Hotel where he was very well respected as being an excellent host for his guests. / John married Elizabeth Meyn in 1872 and they had 5 children, 1 being my great grandfather Harold Barklay… / My Cornish ancestor died in 1889 leaving us a legacy of Celtic and Cornish roots in the Barklay family and I for one embrace my ancestry and here is a work dedicated to My Celtic Roots… FEATURED in A.D.A.W.G / FEATURED in A Fractal Energy Passion / FEATURED in First Things This is a work made up of 3 layered images, a Celtic Cross from the cemetery, a Celtic Knot fractal creation made in Incendia and then a map of Cornwall superimposed as well with the colours I was seeking, the bright green Celtic colour with the purple of Merlins magical legends and then you can see the stone Celtic Cross has given me a stone castle wall look incorporated in too, many factors to see in here…
The original immigrants of my paternal Grandfathers family and their 12 surviving children. My Grandfather is Theodore. Bertha and William both came from Germany and met in New York. They married and moved to the Mid-West to homestead and raise a large family. My Grandfather moved to Oklahoma to farm and raise 8 children with his wife. When my Father and his siblings left the farm, they were mostly satisfied to have two children per family.
