Hamilton The Musical & Newenham"Not throwing away my shot" & "Washington on your side"A recent visit to see the hit musical "Hamilton", has re-invigorated a lot of thoughts, with historical documents via relative Sir Edward Newenham & some of the stories that relate to the Found Fathers of America.It's not so much about Hamilton himself that set it off, but it's the way the songs were written & portrayed in the Musical. I got lost in a few songs, because my historical research with my somewhat "politically controversial" relative - Sir Edward Newenham, he had a lot of similarities...

52. Ancestors...What have you done?
Recent discovery of my all male line, could now have uncovered quite an interesting tale.

But my hypothesis lands that we maybe off a derivative Fitzgerald line via the Desmond's. The areas of Cork, Limerick and Kerry, are most definitely on the genetic radar.
However, in the past 10 years of normal research, I am very conscious...

Dear Cousin Michael,

On the 25th of June 2018, I had just gotten in to my workplace and settled into the flow of Monday Morning's work. I had just started talking to my Supervisor, on how to plan for the day's adventure. Half way though our discussion, about 8am, I had received...

Why I blog!
So, I'm now officially overwhelmed (and yes...infatuated) with a Maternal historical connection to the Founding Father's of America.
It has now completely changed how I see history, in particular with - how it's been taught today.
The story and its never ending continuance, revolves around...
