Good old maps too

Wednesday evening 26 January 2005

No genealogy today.

I went to the doctor after 500pm to get weighed and have lost 7 kilo
weight,
and got my blood pressure down noticeably.

Then I took the 1A bus from Trianglen to Kongensnytorv.,
because I was planning to take the Metro to Fields in order to walk about
in the warm for my daily exercise.

But no red lights at the old opera house meant there were tickets avilable -
but for what?
So I walked to the ticket office and found that I could get one of the last
eight standing room tickets for AIDA
at the new opera house.
I was thrilled to bits ! (I am blogging by email because the 3G ISP is
broken again)

blogging by email

Again I am reduced to blogging by email - which rather loses the point of a web-log - see Getting to know AOL  in the side bar  for the whys and wherefores. This note is being written in Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00 and is formatted as rich text (html) as an experiment.

 

The only genealogy I have been doing today today was been hanging out in Mike Jon's Monmouthshire  group and looking for some HIGHLEY in Tintern - on the river Wye by the beautiful ruins of the abbey which is one of my favourite places in the world,

and is a god  illustration of the magic of a name

 

I have been reading a free newspaper metroXpress and about the public health issues in Kjellerup and the illnesses refugees from Somalia have when the come to that little town in Denmark.

 

Diabetes, cirrosis of the liver, cysts, problems with scars from bullet wounds, worms, parasites, tuberculosis (which our  ancestors called consumption), heart problems, and dietery defficiences.

The Somalian children had not been vaccinated, and mental problems included stress and schizophrenia.  all of which our ancestors suffered from.

 

I remeber as little as fifty years ago raw milk was risky to drink because of TB and brucellosis   A cyst in a roatesd slice of beef was out to me as anthrax in an english utility restaurant in about 1944. My mother politely left it on the rim of her plate.

Rees Message Boaed: "William Rees convict.

Hugh Watkins and I found a common link in William Rees, convict, transported to Van Dieman's Land for the theft of 2 sheep in 1838.
I have long been searching for William's descendants.
I have much information on William. Born Bettws Newydd, 1804. One sone emigrated to USA, as Hugh says. Another, William Rees, moved to Blaenavon, Monmouthshire, where they opened a grocery shop in the late 1800's.
In World War I a young ANZAC came to Blaenavon looking for his Rees family - he was a descendant of William Rees, convict. Unfortunately a grouchy Aunt sent him packing.
In Van Dieman's land, in 1854, William married a Frances Code, but he married under the name WILLIAM REEVES. So we don't know if Rees or Reeves is the name of his Aussie descendants."
