History

Hey André! I'm just giving a helping hand to our Irish friends. But, indeed, this is a HUGE topic. It was just easy to put the presidents and heads of governments in one place ;-)
You're absolutely right, let's try and get the existing projects together. We have to reach out to everyone interested in Irish history - and the Irish in the first place! :-)

Yes, I followed the growing enthousiasm. I myself am a lover of Irish music. I ran a folkclub in Amsterdam back in the 70s and had Irish friends over from the folkmusic group "Planxty"
Earlier, in GENI I was triggered by the legend of Scota of Egypt (Calcol) and had some conversation with Erin Spiceland on this. She landed from Spain with her husband according to legend and started conquering Ireland.

Did you know that you are 94th grandson of Scota. Of course all legendary...But still a direct line!!

Hi, Private I am planning to start a project about the Clans and kings of Ireland, not the legendary ones but the real ones , feel free to join the Irish portal if you not have done so already, a project on Irish music trough the centuries is also on the way

Andre you are my 23rd cousin btw :)

Hai Annemarie, 23rd cousin. Its a small world for people with long ancestry lines. How did you end up in Ierland? Of moet ik gewoon Nederlands schrijven?

In Amsterdam in mijn folk tijd in 75-1984 was er een drukkers familie Kalis. Ze waren allemaal behoorlijk Ierland folk lovers. Geen familie?

I just found out that Scota is my 71st Great Grandmother. I'm trying to find a path that links me to Scota, and I'm having a difficult time locating myself. If someone could help I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you

Dammit, she's only my 84th ! Somewhere up the lines they have been slow in reproducing in MY line LOL

Elvin
Since you are Pro, you can click "how are you related) and when it says he is you 71st grand father click "show 70 generations" and it will list the entire path.

George J. Homs now I tell you she is my 77th :-P

maybe you are on the wrong side of the family? (or it is the age difference
LOL)

I used Scota, Queen of the Gadelians {fictitious}

and came up with 66th, that's 11 gen dif

There are two Scota, are we all useing the same one?

Andre says 94th. That 28 Generation dif.

Not sure I want to try to do the math to see if that's possible.

Marvin, I used Scota of Egypt (Calcol) too :-)

Scota (Calcol) is my 63 rd great grandmother ;-)

Are there any pyramids in Ireland?

Scota of Egypt (Calcol) is my 85th great grandmother.
- Andre is my 29th cousin once removed.
- Elvin is my 28th cousin four times removed.

I wanna join too, she is my 87th great grandmother
(Scota of Egypt (Calcol)

Yes you may join! than we all search for the pyramids in Ireland!

I think Annemarie is the youngest of us all :-)

It makes you the oldest, Marvin :-)

That's right, I helped build the pyramids !

LOL Marvin, than we don't have to search for them, you can just tell us where they are, easy!

To answer George, No there are no pyramids in Ireland, we have potholes.
Great to be the youngest for a change :)

68th great grandmother for me

I have a confession to make. Scota of Egypt (Cacol) is George's 84th great grandmother. She has always been. I just made a mistake.. If you look closely you will see that Erin Spiceland uploaded a link to the Annals of the Four Masters. Simple to download if you want to read about the generations. I am wondering if in Irish/Scottisch folk songs lyrics go back that far. Or is it just: My bonny lassy from xxxxland I miss you....

I once spent a whole day at Guinness in Dublin - and now I remember seeing Marvin's pyramids standing there! I think I need another visit.

Guinness... Uhg.. Wine gives me the best trips. Do not look for pyramids. Look for the bonny lassies. Annemarie I am totally with you. I would like to join with the real Clans and kings and the real Irish music. Lets start with Planxty. You know at a certain moment they discovered the Bulgarian and Roumanian music and made cross overs. That is what I like. The open mind and innovation.

TRIPS? BAD EXPERIENCES YOU MEAN? for I prefer a Budels beer, for as soon its been in one of the brewery kettels of mister H. I have a headattack the next day. Interesting, isn't it? for I am rather patrionistic. But I know also how to clean a kitchen and therefore you DO NOT use non-biological methods, you know?
