I guess Jobless Claims were peachy, S&P Futures off 8 points.

We don't have that kind of traceability in much of Ireland. Many records were destroyed at the GPO during the Irish War & out in the West many records weren't kept. My mother's birthday, for example, was a moveable feast. Each year it was celebrated later. I'm sure she never knew what the "real" date was, and of the records I was able to accumulate I discovered only her baptism records from the church.

I can go back to the 1850s or thereabouts, that's it.

Well, back to the SnP. See you later.

Taro -

Wow. Suddenly, I am really missing Sweden. I haven't been there since the 80s, but for several years I went often. Probably a dozen trips in five years or so.

Dalarna was great. The most swedish part of Sweden, as they say.

I can't imagine what it must have been like to move to another country at the age of 12. Very good for you, ultimately, I would suppose.
