Post by: DesertRose on April 19, 2015, 07:01:03 PM
[07:14.23] * KK has joined channel #deryni_destinations [07:14.26] <Jemler> kk! [07:14.30] <Aerlys> it worked! [07:14.30] <DesertRose> Hey, it worked. Hi KK! [07:14.30] <Evie> It worked [07:14.33] <Shiral> Nicely done, DR =o) [07:14.35] <KK> Whoops, sorry I'm late. [07:14.37] <DesertRose> Thanks. :D [07:14.39] <Shiral> Hello Katherine [07:14.42] <The_Bee> Hi KK [07:14.42] <Aerlys> Hello Katherine [07:14.56] * Laurna () has joined channel #deryni_destinations [07:15.00] <DesertRose> No worries. But I just (maybe a minute ago) made an attempt to summon you, and it worked. :) [07:15.02] <Evie> We have a newcomer, but she got Mibbited. Hopefully she'll return [07:15.03] <KK> How's everyone tonight? [07:15.03] <DesertRose> Hi Laurna. [07:15.04] <Jemler> hi laurna [07:15.05] <Shiral> Hi Laurna [07:15.05] <Aerlys> Hi Laurna [07:15.06] <Laurna> Hello everyone [07:15.07] <Evie> hi Laurna [07:15.09] <The_Bee> Hi Laurna [07:15.12] <DesertRose> Doing all right. How are you, KK? [07:15.19] <Shiral> I just bought a major piece of furniture for my diningroom [07:15.20] <KK> Good. [07:15.25] <Aerlys> Expecting, thank you! [07:15.34] <KK> What did you buy? A sideboard? [07:15.43] <Shiral> Close, a china hutch [07:15.46] <Laurna> Nice Shiral fantastic Aerlys [07:15.59] <KK> Ditto. [07:16.07] <Evie> I read dungeon at first. [07:16.14] <DesertRose> My mom has a really cool china hutch. [07:16.16] <Shiral> Very pretty rosewood, Asian inspired. It will look nice with my table and chairs [07:16.16] <Jemler> you just missed a new member, kk [07:16.16] <Evie> I'm glad you aren't furnishing a dungeon [07:16.17] <Aerlys> What style of china hutch? [07:16.20] <DesertRose> Dungeon for dining room, Evie? [07:16.27] <Evie> yes [07:16.39] <DesertRose> That would be more Fifty Shades of Grey fandom than this one. :P [07:16.45] <Shiral> Well yes, Evie. I have no idea where I'd put the dungeon. =o) [07:16.47] <Aerlys> lol [07:17.00] <Laurna> LOL [07:17.09] <The_Bee> or who you'd put IN it [07:17.14] <DesertRose> YIKES! O.o [07:17.21] <Laurna> Alaric? [07:17.28] <DesertRose> Let's not go there. :D [07:17.39] <Jemler> duncan? [07:17.39] <Aerlys> If I had a dungeon, no one would follow me there. Hmmm... [07:17.40] <Shiral> I went to the nearby Home Consignment Center where I found the diningroom set. My method is to wander around and look, and wait for something to make me think "Hey, I LIKE that!" [07:17.42] <Kildara> Hi KK - sorry I missed your arrival - was multitasking a little [07:17.47] <Laurna> Snicker. [07:17.57] <Jemler> walking and chewing gum? [07:18.03] <DesertRose> Hey, it works, Shiral. :) [07:18.10] <Shiral> That's how I found the table, and also my dining room light fixture. [07:18.34] <KK> Sounds like a cool place, Shiral. We used to do that in our local auction house, in Ireland. [07:18.34] <Shiral> Nothing comes into my house if I don't like it. [07:18.35] <Aerlys> we don't a nice home consignment place here [07:18.36] <DesertRose> Your place probably looks more coordinated than my apartment; most of my furniture is hand-me-down stuff from my family, with the exception of my dinette set and my computer chair. :D [07:18.36] <Kildara> no - chatting and drying dishes [07:18.46] <Jemler> um. ok. [07:18.59] * Evie_ (~) has joined channel #deryni_destinations [07:19.05] <Aerlys> My house is decorated in Early Demolition [07:19.07] <DesertRose> Evie, did we lose you? [07:19.19] <Evie_> Yes [07:19.19] <Laurna> Hi Evie [07:19.23] <DesertRose> Bummer. [07:19.28] * Evie was kicked by DesertRose(~IceChat9@DesertRose.Editor.Writer.Creator) - Reason (DesertRose) [07:19.29] <Shiral> It is pretty cool, KK. I've had good luck there. I've also had some visits that were pretty "meh" and walked out without buying anything. Their jewelry counter has a way of getting me into trouble [07:19.36] <Evie_> Evidently Otherworlders does not like my jokes [07:19.38] <Jemler> we have a ghost [07:19.40] * sproing () has joined channel #deryni_destinations [07:19.44] <Kildara> shiral - can you send a pic? [07:19.50] <DesertRose> Okay, I kicked the ghost, but give it a minute to clear off the server. [07:19.50] <Jemler> hi katrinque [07:19.51] <The_Bee> Hi Sproing [07:19.54] <Kildara> Sounds beautiful [07:19.57] <DesertRose> Rehi katrinque. [07:20.12] <Shiral> I have one on my phone, but it's not posted to the Internet anywhere right at the moment, Kilidara [07:20.14] <KK> Hmmm, I know what you mean about jewelry counters. I've been finding some good earrings lately, at TJMaxx. [07:20.35] <DesertRose> Mibbit (the web browser-based chat client) can be a bit unstable; we're trying to find something better, but give us time. :) [07:20.35] <Shiral> Because it's all consignment, I can justify quite a lot. =o) [07:20.38] <sproing> Hi Everyone [07:20.39] <Evie_> I can't change my nick. *sigh* [07:20.46] <Jemler> are they called tjmaxx bacause they max out your credit cards? [07:20.54] <Shiral> But I bought my mother a very pretty jade necklace for last Christmas there [07:20.57] <DesertRose> Give it a few, Evie_ and try later. [07:20.59] <Laurna> Hi Sproing [07:21.16] <DesertRose> I love earrings. I have a huge collection. [07:21.19] <Evie_> Hi sproing. [07:21.24] <KK> Dunno, Jemler. [07:21.31] * Evie_ is now known as Evie [07:21.34] * derynibot sets mode +o Evie for #deryni_destinations [07:21.36] <DesertRose> There you go. :) [07:21.38] <KK> Me too, DesertRose. [07:21.44] <Shiral> I love earrings too. And unfortunately, I'm very talented at losing single earrings from pairs that I like [07:21.59] <Aerlys> I think gremlins take them [07:22.01] <DesertRose> Well, I also have my ears pierced multiple times, so I wear a lot of them. [07:22.01] <Evie> Try gluing them in. Ohhh, wait. [07:22.02] <KK> Ears pierced? That helps a lot. [07:22.02] <Kildara> Shiral - me too [07:22.05] <Shiral> I could decorate a mini Christmas tree with my mis-matched orphaned earrings [07:22.09] <DesertRose> LOL [07:22.12] * sproing is now known as katrinque [07:22.12] <katrinque> Hello again. [07:22.12] * katrinque is now known as katrinque2 [07:22.18] <katrinque2> Help [07:22.19] <katrinque2> Help [07:22.20] * katrinque2 is now known as katrinque3 [07:22.24] <Evie> welcome back katrinque [07:22.29] <Laurna> Glueing Earrings? yikes [07:22.30] <Aerlys> Identity crisis! [07:22.31] * Alkari () has joined channel #deryni_destinations [07:22.37] <EPCarpenter> The wife just got back from shopping- She needed old duds and a very old looking chair for her Hooverville display for her class. The school history fair theme is The Great Depression for some ungodly reason... [07:22.37] <Evie> Hi Alkari [07:22.41] <DesertRose> Hi Alkari. [07:22.45] <Shiral> Yes, ears pierced KK, but I still keep losing them when I do thinks like answer the phone at work. I'm just too talented, that way [07:22.46] <Alkari> Hi everyone [07:22.47] <Jemler> hi alkari [07:22.51] * katrinque3 is now known as katrinque [07:22.55] <The_Bee> Do they still make earrings for non-pierced ears? I refuse to have needless needlesstuck in me. [07:23.01] <Aerlys> Hi Alkari [07:23.04] <Laurna> Hi Alkari and katrinque [07:23.08] <DesertRose> Yes, they still make clip-on earrings. [07:23.13] <Evie> They do, Bee; they're just harder to find [07:23.14] <Kildara> Bee - yes they do [07:23.23] <Aerlys> Not as easy to find [07:23.28] <Shiral> Second hand stores are a good place to look [07:23.31] <KK> Do you put those little stoppers on the backs of the fishhooks? Or try replacing the fishhoooks with leverbacks, from Michael's or some such. [07:23.31] <Jemler> kk, this is katrinque, new member [07:23.35] <DesertRose> I don't mind having holes in my ears, although my stepdad teases me about looking like I ran afoul of a sewing machine or a BB gun. :) [07:23.41] <Shiral> Welcome Back, Katrinque [07:23.46] <Kildara> For cheap - Claires has some - I think you can find them on Etsy, too [07:23.51] <The_Bee> rehi katrinque [07:23.56] <Alkari> and if you are desperate, buy an old pair and take off the fittings, then attach a pair of pierced ones that you like. [07:24.05] <KK> Hello, katrinque. Cool name. [07:24.37] <katrinque> Hello KK. Thank you. [07:25.03] <katrinque> It's a nickname my father calls me despite my name being Patty [07:25.10] <Alkari> LOL [07:25.13] <Evie> revanne says hi to all. She had to get to bed. [07:25.19] <DesertRose> But then, I have three holes in my lobes (both sides), and one in my right cartilage, so if I wear the little stainless steel ball earrings, I do look like I ran afoul of a BB gun. :) [07:25.25] <Evie> How do you get from Patty to katrinque? [07:25.31] <Shiral> Yes, we all have to go to sleep, sometimes [07:25.55] <DesertRose> revanne was up super late last night hanging out here, and I think she was tired. [07:26.04] <Laurna> Sometimes I thing Revanne never sleeps I see her on at all hours [07:26.09] <Evie> yes, we're a bad influence on her. ;) [07:26.10] <KK> I've just got the 2 holes; plenty for me. [07:26.19] <DesertRose> I think she has actually been having trouble sleeping, yes. [07:26.20] <Alkari> me too. [07:26.24] <DesertRose> BRB [07:26.39] <Laurna> We are a bad influence [07:26.43] <KK> Same question: patty to katrinque? [07:26.53] <katrinque> I have no idea. He still can't explain [07:27.07] <Evie> :D [07:27.17] <Evie> one of those mysteries of life [07:27.24] <Aerlys> and it's pronounced..? [07:27.56] <katrinque> lol [07:28.08] <Shiral> Duncan must have been keeping Revanne awake [07:28.15] <Laurna> I have lots and lots of fancy earrings but I can not wear any of them. I will need to have my ears repierced as they closed up. [07:28.36] <Evie> Yes, now that I'm not writing about Duncan for a change, he's gone to visit her and tour England. ;) [07:28.40] <Shiral> However, none of my earrings looks like the Eye of Rom [07:28.42] <Laurna> True Shiral. But I hope now he will let her be. [07:28.44] <Jemler> you have toomany holes in your head? [07:28.53] <Aerlys> or you could send them to me, Laurna :) [07:29.04] <katrinque> kah- TRINK [07:29.18] <Jemler> i must have been holding down the spacebar. [07:29.37] <KK> So, no A sound on the end. Interesting. [07:30.03] <Laurna> I was thinking it was Cat rin K [07:30.29] <Evie> KK, Aerlys needs a nice list of Deryni names that also happen to be saint names. :D [07:30.34] <Laurna> That is why I can not spell I can not pronounce things. [07:30.40] <Shiral> Maybe she should send Duncan over to bother Evie =o) [07:30.44] <Jemler> i was thinking yoda, catrin queen, abbrev. [07:31.37] <Evie> Cat-rin-K would actually be a logical guess, Laurna. I could see that as an alternate pronunciation [07:31.47] <KK> Saints' names can be anything one wants. After all, anyone has the potential to become a saint. [07:32.11] <Evie> Duncan has bothered me enough, thanks. I'm in 21st Century with his descendents at the moment. [07:32.13] <Aerlys> She's referring to our time, KK [07:32.26] <Laurna> Speaking of Cats here is mine blocking my screeen [07:32.42] <KK> Why, how could that have happened? [07:32.47] <Jemler> you mean, there could actually be a Saint John? [07:32.49] <Aerlys> But I enjoy reearching saint names [07:32.59] <DesertRose> Okay, back. [07:32.59] <Laurna> And stepping on my keyboard [07:33.02] <Evie> Yes, probably should have said real world saints with names that happen to be shared by Deryni in your world [07:33.16] <DesertRose> Sorry, had to check on supper and start some rice cooking to go with the chicken. [07:33.19] <Kildara> Thanks, for that KK - because I get challenged, from time to time on both my kids' names - so I really like how you just put it. [07:33.25] * Shiral2 (~) has joined channel #deryni_destinations [07:33.28] <KK> Where do you think I got some of the Deryni names? There are books of saints, you know.... [07:33.43] <Shiral2> Stupid connection hiccup! [07:33.56] <DesertRose> And there are websites full of saints' names, too. :) [07:34.00] <Aerlys> I have a fine collection of name/saint books [07:34.04] <KK> What are your kids' names, Kildara? [07:34.08] <Shiral2> Try the Catholic Encyclopedia [07:34.14] <Kildara> Jocelyn Bernice and Melanie Sage [07:34.21] <Evie> True, but she may be needing a specific list sometime in the next...um...6 months? [07:34.22] <Jemler> like saint ebay, saint facebook.. [07:34.27] <DesertRose> Those are pretty names. [07:34.29] <Laurna> KK is Kelson's first daughter Princess Roxelane or (Araxandra) Louise Sivorn Cecile Haldane? [07:34.34] <Kildara> Thanks, DR [07:34.35] <Jemler> thank you. [07:34.42] * Shiral (~) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds) [07:34.43] <Aerlys> Catholic Online has a better and easier list to follow than th CE [07:34.44] <DesertRose> Not you, Jemler, I meant Kildara. [07:34.51] <DesertRose> :P [07:35.38] <katrinque> I cannot keep up with you guys [07:35.45] <Laurna> lol [07:35.51] <Evie> We're pretty rapid fire [07:35.54] <Laurna> Takes a while katrinque [07:35.55] <Jemler> takes practice. [07:36.00] <DesertRose> Yeah, we fairly frequently have two or three threads of conversation going at a time. :) [07:36.01] <Shiral2> You'll get up to speed soon, Katrinque [07:36.07] <Kildara> It can be confusing Katrinque = just stay with it - it sorts itself out eventually [07:36.22] <Aerlys> before you know it you'll be a crazy as the rest of us [07:36.28] <Evie> If a reply makes no sense, it might be a response to something said earlier [07:36.30] <DesertRose> Don't scare her off, Aerlys. [07:36.31] <Jemler> we'd go slower but dan quayle isn't a member. [07:36.45] <DesertRose> :) [07:36.51] <Evie> :-P [07:37.02] <Aerlys> just a fair warning... [07:37.03] <Shiral2> We pack a lot of talking into an hour's chat once a week =o) [07:37.11] <Laurna> Now Kitty is on my shoulder trying to get the keyboard [07:37.14] <DesertRose> Yes, yes we do. [07:37.17] <Evie> LOL Laurna [07:37.18] <DesertRose> Hi Laurna's kitty. :) [07:37.26] <Shiral2> Cesca is here lying on top of my ipad [07:37.30] <katrinque> Question: I can't remember for sure but does Kelson happen to be a descendant of Camber? [07:37.31] <Jemler> btw, katrinque. you can read past logs at rhemuthcastle.com [07:37.35] <Shiral2> So I guess that makes it an iPawPad [07:37.42] <Laurna> Why Yes! [07:37.43] <DesertRose> KK, speaking of kitties, is Gus in his usual position in the basket? :) [07:37.45] <Evie> yes, katrinque [07:38.02] <katrinque> Oh Awesome [07:38.07] <Evie> actually, Laurna has just posted some genealogical charts of Camber's descendents [07:38.18] <DesertRose> Laurna has been hard at work documenting the genealogies. :) [07:38.21] <Evie> very detailed charts that make you wonder if she ever sleeps [07:38.23] <katrinque> Cool [07:38.31] <Laurna> Nearly all done. 4 out of 6charts posted [07:38.36] <Aerlys> she's the geneology queen [07:38.41] <Kildara> where are they posted? [07:38.44] <The_Bee> Link? [07:38.44] <KK> Laurna, I can't find it in writing just now, but I seem to remember changing Rob's Roxelane to Araxandra. Remember that he was messing with items that hadn't yet been written, so they're not set in stone. [07:38.45] <katrinque> Obviously the people she charts do. [07:38.48] <Alkari> Bother - have been trying to post a pic of female saints church hangings from Caen but may need to save them to Photobucket. [07:38.51] <Jemler> i don't think so. he's descedant of cambers dauter inlaw, elinor, after she married jamiedrummond (michaela drummond married rhys michael) [07:38.52] <Laurna> Thank you to KK and to Robert [07:38.57] <Shiral2> And Evie has a fondness for exchanging dollheads and bodies [07:39.03] <Alkari> They had wonderful ones e.g. Saint Scholastica [07:39.12] <DesertRose> +http://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php/topic,1441.0.html, [07:39.13] <Evie> Are you on the Rhemuth Castle Forum yet, katrinque? If so, they're on there. [07:39.14] * Shiral2 likes Araxandra better [07:39.25] * Shiral2 is now known as Shiral [07:39.38] * Shiral too [07:39.39] <Laurna> Ok thanks KK I will switch the names and Make Araxandra the prominent name. [07:40.01] <Alkari> Or rather, Sainte Scholastique [07:40.12] <DesertRose> Cool, Alkari. [07:40.41] <KK> I need to get a new copy of a genealogy program that will work with my old files. Lost the old progream when I changed computers last year. [07:40.50] <DesertRose> Jemler, I think a later generation descendent of Camber's (possibly via Rhysel) married into the Haldane line, so that would make Kelson a descendent of Camber. [07:40.53] <Alkari> Oh that is SO annoying KK. [07:41.04] <Shiral> Francesca is here to purr her hello, KK [07:41.14] <Aerlys> Darn. The sleepies have suddenly hit. [07:41.22] <Jemler> rhysel, rhys' daughter. ok, forgot her. [07:41.23] <DesertRose> I hate when that happens, KK. That's my least favorite part of getting a new computer; that and having to move all my music and stuff. [07:41.26] <Laurna> Oh no KK. I would love to see your charts [07:41.48] * frogonia () has joined channel #deryni_destinations [07:41.52] <katrinque> I thought so too, that Rhysel married a Haldane [07:41.56] <DesertRose> Hi Francesca. *offere ear scritches* [07:42.08] <Evie> Laurna found the elusive link between Camber and Alaric, KK [07:42.13] <DesertRose> No, she married an Ainslie, but I think one of her descendents married into the Haldane line. :) [07:42.16] <KK> They helped me deal with some discrepancies with Rob's material--though he was a genealogist, among other things, and mostly did a fantastic job fleshing out things. [07:42.17] <DesertRose> *offers [07:42.22] <Alkari> My hard drive crashed after I came back from my trip last year, but lucky the gurus were able to restore and I did not need all my backup discs. At least I *had* saved everything before I went. [07:42.24] <Shiral> She says thanks, DR [07:42.36] <Laurna> I found it all just had to look from camber to alaric. Not from Alaric to camber [07:42.44] <The_Bee> I think Rhysel married a human [07:42.54] <Laurna> Robert Ainsile [07:42.57] <DesertRose> I miss having a kitty, so I have to pet vicariously when I can. [07:43.00] <Alkari> That is a long and complex chain, isnt it Laurna [07:43.10] <Laurna> It is fun [07:43.27] <Laurna> Lots and lots of fun. I have ben at it since January [07:43.33] <DesertRose> My parents' older cat tolerates me, and their younger cat blames me for him being neutered, so he doesn't like me, so I have to pet friends' kitties. [07:43.35] <Alkari> I want a kitty too. :( Maybe they are going to change the by-laws where I live so I can get one [07:43.42] <Shiral> You have loong arms to be able to reach clear from Florida! [07:43.51] <DesertRose> The magic of modern technology. [07:43.52] <The_Bee> I wonder if Alaric and Duncan might be descended from Jerusha. [07:44.07] <DesertRose> That, or I finally figured out a way to build a Portal on the 14th floor. ;) [07:44.09] <Evie> Are Alaric and Duncan from Canada? ;) [07:44.27] <Shiral> Ask them to say "About" and find out =o) [07:44.36] <katrinque> ugh. I can't remember enough. I guess I need to re-read yet again. [07:44.47] <katrinque> KK do you have any idea when more of the Deryni books will published on Kindle? [07:45.02] <Evie> Such a hardship, katrinque, having to read them all again. ;) [07:45.02] <Laurna> Alaric is ...Kenneth, Madonna, Adelicia, Tambert II, Fane, Tiphane, Rhysel, Evaine, Camber. ...Kenneth, Madonna, Arnall, Roger, Nerina, Tiphane, Rhysel, Evaine, Camber. [07:45.22] <DesertRose> katrinque, there is a chatter from Canada who uses the name Jerusha; that's what the Canada joke is about. :D [07:45.39] <Laurna> Duncan is ...Jared, Andrew, Adelicia, Tambert II, Fane, Tiphane, Rhysel, Evaine, Camber. ...Jared, Andrew, Arnall, Roger ,Nerina, Tiphane, Rhysel, Evaine, Camber. [07:46.08] <KK> No, I need to check with my agent on that. I owe him an e-mail. Last I heard, that was in progress. [07:46.09] <Laurna> KK if there is an error i would love to know. [07:46.14] <DesertRose> Wow, Laurna, you've got those charts about memorized. That's impressive. [07:46.29] <Laurna> Cut and Paste my dear LOL [07:46.32] <Shiral> I can't even trace MY family tree that fast! [07:46.32] <DesertRose> :D [07:46.36] <Alkari> LOL [07:46.44] <Shiral> And well...I'm pretty sure I'm not related to Camber [07:46.47] <DesertRose> Me neither, not without cheating and looking at Ancestry.com. :P [07:47.13] <katrinque> Did I just ask an impertinent question? [07:47.17] <DesertRose> Heck no. [07:47.23] <DesertRose> That's a good question, katrinque. :) [07:47.28] <Evie> I definitely want the Camber books on Kindle. And if a new narrator can be signed on, on Audible as well [07:47.28] <Shiral> I leave the genealogy to other family members. I don't have enough patience for it. [07:47.32] * frogonia () Quit (Quit: +http://www.mibbit.com, ajax IRC Client) [07:47.56] <Evie> She answered, katrinque. You may need to scroll up. :) [07:47.57] <Shiral> I liked the narrator for the original trilogy. [07:48.02] <Evie> I did too [07:48.10] <Alkari> I have the Kindle app on my iPad but still haven't used it [07:48.12] <Evie> Like the original narrator, that is [07:48.14] <DesertRose> Yes, the original narrator was fine; the later one is not optimal. [07:48.20] <Shiral> The second sounded too much like he gargled with gravel for fun [07:48.26] <The_Bee> My sister once got a genealogy chart for one branch of my family. it goes back to the first or second century AD, so I'm not surehow accurate it is. [07:48.56] <Alkari> wow - I wouldn't have thought you COULD trace back so far! [07:49.00] <Laurna> gargled with gravel for fun ? Oh dear [07:49.00] <katrinque> Great. on both questions [07:49.02] <katrinque> Amen [07:49.17] <Evie> Highly unlikely to be accurate, unless you can trace back to royalty, and even then it's dubious [07:49.27] <Kildara> We have a genealogy chart for one branch that goes back to the Doomsday (sp?) book [07:49.32] <Shiral> Well, Adam Sinclair might find it helpful to go back that far since he's been around the block a few times reincarnationally speaking [07:49.42] <KK> I need to mention that to my agent. I actually talked to the first one, to give him accurate pronunciations. I never talked to the later one, and haven't listened to any of those. [07:50.04] <DesertRose> Yes, the second narrator is...suboptimal. [07:50.08] <Alkari> Yes, if you can go back to something like that Kildara, it is possible in some cases [07:50.10] <The_Bee> She found it on the Mormons' website. Don't know if they double-check what their informant gives them. [07:50.17] <Shiral> The first sounded quite distinguished [07:50.18] <Laurna> I think one family member had my family going back to Richard the conqueror but I could not prove it. [07:50.38] <KK> Adam's genealogy would be....complicated, since bodies and souls don't necessarily follow the same tracks. [07:50.45] <Alkari> And I heard somewhere that there is one jewish family (the Coens??) that can trace theirs back pretty well [07:50.52] <EPCarpenter> Some people can trace that kind of ancestry, but only people from Royal or high noble blood lines. No one else kept track back then. [07:50.52] <The_Bee> I'm supposedly descended from Old King Cole (AKA Coel) [07:50.57] <Shiral> I wouldn't want to be the one who had to trace it for him. =o) [07:50.58] <Evie> Let me put it this way, KK. DH walked into the room when I was listening to the prologue of TKD, heard one paragraph, and asked "Whose book is that narrator butchering, and does the author know?" or words to that effect. [07:51.02] <DesertRose> I can get a branch of my father's line back to the Norman conquest, but I'm not descended from William himself, just one of his knights who wound up with a good bit of Yorkshire after the Battle of Hastings. [07:51.03] <Kildara> Cool Bee [07:51.08] <Alkari> Oh wow - that is an interesting concept KK - bodies and souols not following [07:51.35] <Shiral> Not to mention that you might be a man in one life and a woman in the next [07:51.42] <Evie> Yes, Alkari, since Coen/Cohen means "priest," so they'd be Levites [07:51.43] <DesertRose> Indeed. [07:52.08] <DesertRose> Sorry, that "Indeed" was to Shiral. Evie just typed at about the same time I did about the Coen/Cohen thing. [07:52.11] <Shiral> Probably best to stick to Adam's traceable family ancestors =o) [07:52.23] <The_Bee> The nthere are the "synthetic Cohens" [07:52.23] <Alkari> I gather they have done some interesting genealogical studies re medical research on the Cohens [07:52.56] <Kildara> I heard about that Alkari [07:53.09] <Kildara> Don't remember specifics now [07:53.09] <Alkari> But going back beyond the Doomsday book would be a bit iffy. Unless you were clear nobility. [07:53.20] <EPCarpenter> Lots of interesting references to people in the Bible who they took no great pains to identify in depth. My favorite is the Nephilim. [07:53.21] <Shiral> I like natural fiber Cohens better--they breathe so much better [07:53.24] <Kildara> Minor nobility - very minor [07:53.34] <DesertRose> My mom made a crack after watching Raiders of the Lost Ark that if she were for some odd reason to run across the Ark of the Covenant, she'd start looking for a rabbi with the Cohen name rather than go near it herself. [07:53.49] <Alkari> ROFL @ DR [07:54.01] <Evie> LOL [07:54.21] <DesertRose> Supposedly only the Levites were allowed to touch it, and she was thinking not to take any chances on that. :) [07:54.23] <Kildara> And this chart was for a female great-grandmother - so no hereditary claims here [07:54.39] * Jerusha () has joined channel #deryni_destinations [07:54.44] <DesertRose> And there's Jerusha. [07:54.44] <Evie> hi Jerusha [07:54.47] <Shiral> Hello Jerusha [07:54.48] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha [07:54.48] <Alkari> HI Jerusha [07:54.51] <Kildara> hi Jerusha [07:54.57] <Shiral> Any new news on The Road to Killingford, KK? [07:55.37] <Aerlys> hi jerusha [07:55.57] <Kildara> I guess great-grandmothers have to be female - just read my answer - typing faster than my brain again [07:56.07] <KK> Nope. I'm just starting to get a handle on the Honorverse story I owe David Weber. [07:56.12] <EPCarpenter> If you look for the strange genealogical trees out there for some famous people, you can find one that allegedly traces George Washington back to Priam of Troy. It isn't a new creation, either. Old George really hails back to the Lords of the Isles, and THEY really thought they went back to Troy... [07:56.15] <Shiral> Oh, that's right [07:56.20] <Evie> LOL, Kildara. Yes, being female helps [07:56.21] <Kildara> I'm looking forward to that one KK [07:56.28] <The_Bee> Synthetic Cohans: When the immigration officials were interviewing Jewish immigrants, if they couldn't pronounce the real name, they wrote down "Cohan."
