Hi all,

My name is Brea and this is the first time I've been here to this site. In fact, I found it quite by accident while stumbling around the web searching for Scottish vegetable seeds to buy for this next Spring.

I am a 51 year old woman and I am getting ready to run an assisted living house in Maryland, USA. on the shoreline. I'm quite excited about it since I've only run fast food restaurants before, never a home such as this one is.

My hobbies include bread baking, herb raising, vegetable gardening and going to yard sales (or having them myself). I enjoy growing and then drying my own herbs and vegetables. I've taught myself a lot about herbs and how to use them medicinally and now I am venturing out into learning the holistic field of medicine as much as I can.

I am part Scottish. My maternal great-grandfather was a Highlander named Francis Edward Houston. He and his three sons, Joseph, "Red"(possibly Francis) and Thomas
came to the USA early in the 1900's to join their cousins, the McGonigles who were already here in the Massachusetts area. (not sure of the spelling of the name). He left some daughters behind in Scotland as well as other family members whose names I don't know.

I am glad to be here and am looking forward to discovering what this site is all about!

Bright Blessings to all,
Brea

Hello to both Tanya and Brea! Very nice to meet you both. Love both of your avatars too! Hope you enjoy it and make many new friends. See you around in the different forums or in chat. Enjoy!

I figured I had better come in here and introduce myself. I just jumped in with both feet. Sorry...

I tend to do that.

I guess I shall start with, My name is Therasa ( Ter A sa) does that nake any sense? I am a single mother of twin ten year olds. And I am from British Columbia Canada. I found this site purely by accident. (best accident yet) I have been researching my familes origins for some time now. (I've been pretty lucky so far I might add. Found some really helpful people around).

Coates (the first person I found left Scotland in 1740)
Menzies (my gr gran left in the early 1900, have clan Menzie)
Murdoch ( need to check more to make sure accurate info)
Oliver (associated with Fraser, so far)

I had found Electric Scotland, and I found it a pretty good site. But Ihad some doubts as to the accuracy of some of the info. I came in here, and got the same response from a few people about the site. (nothing against ES, I like it there, just gotta check the info)

I love it in here. I have found this to be the best site so far as people and kindness, as well as info goes. Asking a question, no matter how silly I think it may be, is met with honesty and kindness. The suggestions and help are outstanding.

I have already met a few of you to date. And could not of imagined nicer more helpful people. (Rose and Richard to name just two) I can't wait to meet more of you and have a chat.

I had better go now. I tend to babble.

Take care all and stay safe.

Nice to meet you Therasa. I'm glad you like it here, and you are correct when you say the folks here are very helpful. We are all like one big happy Celtic family---so welcome aboard.
Anytime you need to talk just drop me a line.

Best Regards,
Roisin

P.S.
That's goes for all new members---Welcome!

Therasa it has been such a pleasure getting to know you and chatting about all things that interests us. Thank you for your compliments!

Hello to ocean, Stevo, hvragshop, sjboren, stewart_clan1400, Lougres, and Therasa! Some of you I've already encountered elsewhere...

Welcome to all of the new members !!!

Here I am, a lowly serf again. Darn! I hate when that happens.
I am a Fitzpatrick, currently residing in Chicago, USA. I have many interests, including Celtic music. I have an SCA character I would like to integrate into one of the RPGs. I am Richard Le Chere, a wild eyed Irish Jester. Rather a Rake. ER, AH, my CHARACTER is Richard Le Chere. I am a long time fan of the Lord of the Rings and anything else by Tolkein that I can get my mitts on. I am interested in many topics and appologize in advance if my opinions offend anybody. I don't mean to offend, it just happens.

Hello Maisky,

Welcome Sir, and put your feet up. There are many folks in SCA here, so feel at ease. Hope you enjoy the music, conversations, and the company! If you've a mind for a bit more "liveliness", then come on over to the Pub and have a few .

Glad you've found this great site!

Welcome, Maisky. There are a least a couple of SCAdians from the Kingdom of Aehelmearc here. Which Kingdom do you call home?

-- Greeting to all, as a lowly peasant and intrigued and excited about finding this site. It's wonderful!! i now know where ill be spending much of my online time .

A little diddy about myself -- Have been a celtic folk musician for about 10 years, and have a passion for the music, Been a member of the Highlands and Islands Association of Celtic Gatherings (whew, long name). an organization promoting Celtic culture( music, dance, Highland games) here in southern Mississippi.

Am looking forward to meeting all of you and sharing your interests.

Welcome Maisky and Wyld Piper and any other new memebers. I hope you enjoy our community here at CelticRadio. We're a unique bunch who have a passion for our Celtic heritage and music. So, that being said, I hope to see you around a lot more.

Best Regards,
Roisin

I have been kicked out of, er, ah, I have been a member to 2 kingdoms before drifting up in Chicago. I have yet to connect here. My SCA personna as a jester is a lot of fun even if not one of the mainstream selections. I have a hard time being too serious in real life, too. I am a pharmaceutical validation engineer who has managed a certain amount of success in spite of being ADHD. My irreverant jester personna suits me well, even though it makes the knights clutch their ladies a little closer and my owner (wife) grip my leash a little tighter.
