Sounds excellent.<br /><br />Was your family from Broome County? We owned property there, sold a few years back, and it's really gone downhill since the recession. I know a town with your name on it. It's nice that you've found such great information confirming the stories you remember from your childhood. I had a couple of Revolutionary War soldiers in my background, too. It does make you stand a little taller, doesn't it?Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-64609988965080869682012-10-08T04:57:20.167-07:002012-10-08T04:57:20.167-07:00A remarkable post on your family background and Pe...A remarkable post on your family background and Penshurst Place. <br />My MIL got me interested in geneology as someone in her family researched officially and did the entire family and traced them back to their their roots. (I always promised Tracy I would get her in the DAR as I have proof, but it was complicated at the time, maybe still is, and I never got around to it.)<br />I tried to do it with my side of the family. Got pretty far with my dad's side, but lost my mother's father's side in Canada. It was fun, but time-consuming.<br />Love the story and the recipe.<br /><br />(Packing is a nightmare, as you can imagine.)Barbarahttp://www.moveablefeastscookbook.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-14745159387385904342012-10-08T01:11:20.046-07:002012-10-08T01:11:20.046-07:00That was an amazing read and that house is incredi...That was an amazing read and that house is incredible.

WELL.....this is maki...Good morning my dear Deana!<br /><br />WELL.....this is making a connection with me. Around our humble family table, I remember hearing great stories of my father's ancestors from Spain and the possible connection to KING PELAYO of Asturias. My mother could also boast a direct connection to the Bourbonnes...yes! We have a photo of her father, my grandfather, in the arms of a Bourbonne (spelling, sorry) prince. Who he was in relation to my family, is questionable...maybe an uncle. But all of this was shared at the dinner table and tales of family gatherings as well are melded into my memory. MY GOODNESS what a hall of history you share with us, and that killer recipe! This is the season to start cooking again, for this summer was more salads and cool soups.<br /><br />Thank you so much for coming by to comment on my art. It is fun, I don't know how long this season will last that I can actually stay home and make it,but I do intend on preparing my studio to take photos and SEND THEM INTO publications. OH YES. I intend to do so. But this whole adventure is like a good stew; it takes TIME to season and develop. <br /><br />THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS!

It is ...Mmmm that filet of beef sounds good to me.<br /><br />It is great fun tracing the family tree but I have now had enough! I have taken Nigel's back to the early 1700's and my father's line back to the 1500's. Also did my mother's line back to 1701. Sadly nobody of any great importance as far as I can see and many of them were farmers and paupers!! It was interesting while the enthusiasm lasted. <br /><br />Have a good day DianeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782670749466305626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-39397531339078383702012-10-04T05:22:55.934-07:002012-10-04T05:22:55.934-07:00Hello Deana:

Such a pity, however, that a titled connection to Penshurst Place was not forthcoming. It is a wonderful house and it would certainly have made great dinner party gossip to talk of one's connection to it.<br /><br />As a complete aside, we are the only Hattatts remaining in the UK. We have to admit to being rather lax in tracing our ancestral lineage, only knowing of several Hattatts being buried in the church in Broughton, Hampshire. However, having read your account, perhaps we should now look into it all more closely....who knows what one may find?Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
