"FOR DUMMIES" Treasure Chest Thursday

HOWDEEEEE ! & MERRY "CHRIST"MAS

Thought I wouldn't get around to this for awhile yet - maybe do for my New Year's Resolution?

I came across the Irish History for Dummies awhile ago but still have to get it from my library. & Looking for a good picture to put here of it, found the Dummies website & this 2nd book, Ireland for Dummies. I am sooooo looking forward to reading these.

OF course Dummies has a website, DUH!
( I hear a palm smacking my forehead!) but just did not occur to me.

Hope the link works, my sister is always telling me my links don't.
" Oh Well " ... I keep trying. If not just cut & paste, or do your own search

So now I have a new New Year's Resolution, wonder if I'll get to it before summer?

Here's a lead-in:
1814
Major General Robert Ross burns Washington, D.C.

This 200 year anniversary is only a couple of years off

What's his connection to the Scriven family?

John Enraght Scriven ..... surname saturday

John Enraght Scriven

4th son of Captain John Scriven & Jane Medlicott

Brother of Joseph Medlicott Scriven, Dr. William Barclay Brown Scriven, George Scriven, Catherine Mary Ann & Jane Bury.

Jane and family had come to the USA in 1869. They were living on the east coast when John died in the dead of a cold Colorado winter. Later Jane & family will live about Denver a few years before traveling on to California. A sad Christmas to learn a brother had died.

Merry Christmas to All
