icWales - Warning to protesters from Welsh flagmaker

icWales - Warning to protesters from Welsh flagmaker: "A WELSH flagmaker last night issued an urgent safety warning to Muslims who are buying up his Danish flags to torch in cartoon protests.
Orders for the Danish national red and white flag began flooding in to Swansea-based business Mr Flag as soon as the Prophet Muhammad caricatures featured in a Danish newspaper were reprinted in Europe.
'We have experienced a rise in orders for the Danish colours,' owner Robin Ashburner confirmed.

Buy Flag. Buy Flags. Largest range. Buy flag. Buy flags.

But he warned, 'It has to be pointed out though that a number of modern flags are now made largely of polyester and when they burn they melt. That means if they are whirled around by a protester, his or her fellow protesters could be splashed by flying pieces of burning material. If it got into the eye it could do serious damage so we are about to issue a warning to this effect on our website.'

A wave of anger has swept across the Muslim world at the multi-publication of the controversial cartoons. Danish and other European flags have been burnt as far afield as Paris, London, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank in protest. "

England flag brings huge sales to Welsh factory. - AberdareOnline: "STAFF at a Welsh factory are finally flagging after scoring a huge sales bonanza thanks to the Euro 2004 football tournament.

Workers at the Swansea Enterprise Zone base of MrFlag.Com have been working flat out to produce St George flags plus banners for fans of the 15 other nations involved in the Portugal tournament.

Spokesman Robin Ashburner said at the Clarion Court factory yesterday, 'Orders have gone through the roof in the past fortnight.
'It's fair to say our staff are really tired out now after working so hard over the past fortnight in what has been very warm weather.
'Orders for bunting and flags for the tournament started earlier this year with businesses, particularly pubs across England who will be showing the games live, planning ahead."

Errors in IGI for Wales and Monmouthshire

Using the IGI for Wales and Monmouthshire:

"Because of the late development of the use of surnames in Wales, where the uses of patronymics continued in many places until into the 19th century, the Welsh IGI has both a surname index (SN) and a given name index (GN).

Before 1813 parish registers did not make the surname explicit: The IGI assumes, in all cases before 31st December 1812, and of course wrongly, that the child took its father's christian name as its surname. Thus when William, son of John and Sarah Thomas was baptized at Cowbridge, Glamorgan on 17th October 1783, he appears on the microfiche - - - and read these web page for more

Celebrating African American Family History

February is Black History Month in the United States. If you have Black American ancestry, you might want to begin tracing your family tree this month while many museums and archives have special exhibits to mark the month. Here are a few of the Web sites that I have found which provide resources for the beginning black genealogist:
The Britannica Guide to Black History
AFRO-America's Black History Museum
The Library of Congress Resource Guide for the Study of Black History and Culture
"African American Family Research," an excellent article by Roseann Reinemuth Hogan, Ph.D.
"The Challenge of African American Research," by Curt B. Witcher; another excellent article
African American Lifelines
African American Genealogy Research Resources
Afrigeneas; probably the best-known Black American genealogy site
