Rodney, I think it was an attempt at humor rather than bitterness. In America we love our heritage, all of it, or at least I do.
However, I have always disliked the English reference to "the Colonies" and I've had friends from England say that as recent as in the 1980's. Don't know if anyone still uses it. Guess a nation that is still as young as we are in comparison to the older established countries perhaps should realize that we are still sometimes thought of as upstarts. <big grin.> Thanks for the break down of the addresses on locations for the UK. Keep smiling. God bless. Carolyn, just an old Texas Gal. Life is like pouring water into a Coke bottle.� If you're the least bit scared, you can't do it. � Researching: Knight/Byles/Walton/Espy/Smith/Little/Marshall/ Waters/Garner/Martin/Foote/Berryman/Colclough/ Rogers/Grigsby/Blanton/Tate/McGuffey/Hobbs/ Schuenemann/Latinsky/Altman/Gambel/Sinz & Gross WebSite:� http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cgetting/ WebSite: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cgetting/familygroups/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rodney Hall Sent: Friday, April 22, 2005 11:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Locations in England Looks like a very bitter reply! -- Rodney HALL Heywood, Lancashire Suaviter sed fortiter Agreeably but powerfully ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rmhh.co.uk/ http://rmhh.org.uk/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of J & K Sindberg > Sent: Friday, April 22, 2005 4:55 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Locations in England > > Jack > > Of course England is no longer a part of USA.
