It's been a quiet week in Lake . . .ooops wrong channel. The list HAS
been quiet lately.
Apparently the new threaded archiver is working, but CALES-L has no
posts on file. That is because there have been none since the new
software was activated.SO, for that and many other good reasons, let's
have a ROLL CALL.
Please list your CALE or related line giving known facts including
surname, first name, relationship if known, date and location. Please
name wives. This is a great help when all the men are named John or
William or whatever. Also, the repetition of a given name sometimes
identifies a family thread.
In today's society given names reflect current movie, TV or media stars.
There was a period when a lot of girls were Sharon. Then came Debbie,
followed by Julie, and Lisa. Boys were Sean or Mark. Now I suppose we'll
have thousands of little Monicas . . .200 years ago children were name
for grandpa and grandma. It does have significance.
Cousin Judie out in Idaho has been doing a lot of research on the
Palatinate and the possible connection between the names CALE, CALES,
KAIL, KOEHL, KOHL, KEIL, KEEL and other variations. Any input on this
subject is welcomed. I think there is a possible connection with many
Germania families we may have overlooked or ignored in the past because
of differing spellings.
I hope it isn't as cold and rainy where you are as it is in Oregon this morning.
Warm and sunny best wishes.
