my ancesters were cornrish, the stanaway-hotten family (I conjoined the family names, both appear in parish records from...i think the 1500s-1800s when my 4th gg was baptised.)
Same here, and my last name is Cornish and funnily enough, my father works in a steel mill (close to mines I guess) and my great great grandfather on my dad's side came over on Ellis island from Cornwall and stayed in a Cornish area for a bit.

Very interesting! I never heard much about Cornwall until I did a DNA test and learnt that I have 43% Cornish DNA as well as Scottish and Irish DNA… that makes me 94% Celtic, It’s very cool, I’ve always had a connection to Celtic culture, but I haven’t heard much about Cornwall… I’m excited to learn about it’s history and everything 🙂
Oh, I have understood my mistake here... my ancestors came to Australia from Cornwall and in my family tree it goes as far back as the 1500s Cornwall. It showed up in communities my ancestors came from, not DNA... You would understand that I'm not only of my surname Manfield, but a product of other surnames, right?
the Romans never officially invaded since they were trading with Cornwall well before their invasion of Britain. it's argued by some that the rivalry of Cornwall and Devon is originally rooted in the Cornish support of the Roman occupation as a trade ally.
Hi, just to say this is unusually good for CZcams histories of Cornwall in the Post-Roman period right up until 684. The border, once it reaches the Parrett, stays in that region for a significant period until 710 when King Geraint of Dumnonia is killed at the battle of Llongborth which probably corresponds to Langport in Somerset (right on the Parrett border). After that the fighting stays in mid/central Devon for an even longer period. Hehil was most likely fought in this region and slowed Wessex's advance although by then they would indeed have seized Exeter. 710 also marks the last time we have any reference to Dumnonia, the entry for Hehil in 722 describes the battle as 'amongst the Cornish' which marks the first time this is used to define a group of people not just a geographic area. The fighting with Ecberht is also not so one sided, I imagine you include the Tamar to Lands End due to the famous entry regarding 'Raiding East to West' but the reality is the Cornish are fighting again at Gafulford (most likely on the Tamar border) soon after this so its unlikely he was casually strolling through Cornwall. In fact it probably refers to pushing the Cornish back over the borderlands to the Tamar as this eventually does become the de-facto border. The battle at Gafulford also doesn't seem to go the Saxons way as Egbert is recorded 'Amongst the Army' at Crediton in the same year, a year he also is fighting with the powerful Mercian kingdom so is unlikely to have wanted to be in far Devon unless his local forces had been defeated by the Cornish who now threatened to raid eastward.
Great grandfather came from Vogue in Cornwall. The house where he grew up is still there and you can see it on google. I've come to realise that I'm a Celt. My mother's family came from Ireland and I suspect had migrated there from Scotland when the English drove out the crofters. A Celt through and through. Very proud to be of Cornish descent - Gooth Kernow!
Really enjoyed that. I live in Brittany now but have ancestors from Frome and Bradford on Avon who were Methodist. I suspect many west country people chafed under protestantism. A great book, The Voices of Morebath, describes the plight of West Country people during the Reformation. My family returned to Catholicism when my maternal grandfather married an irish girl and my paternal grandfather was from an old English Recusant family from the Cotswolds. The West Country, as with Brittany, feels like home.
Would love to see a video like this on the history of Plymouth. I love the history of Cornwall and Devon. Though i do feel a lack of identity with the either being born and raised basically on the border of the two. I'm either a bit of both...which i don't think the Cornish will let me get away with saying or neither and just a Janner.

Cornish and Dewnas (Dumonians) formed Dumonia - they are two Brythonic people together in one state. Dewnans are not English...most native Devonians do not have English blood...they are still Dumoninans.
Yes and no. After the conquest of Dumnonia there was some migration by Anglo-Saxons into the region, especially into the eastern and urban areas, but much of Devon does remain of predominantly Brittonic ancestry.
Shame that few in devon recognise its celtic history. The name itself, devon, derives from the Dumnonii tribe which once ruled over the land of modern day cornwall and devon. Even during the prayer book rebellion of the 1500s, in defence of the beautiful cornish language (and for the mostly Catholic beliefs of the population of the time) soldiers from both Cornwall and devon took up arms. I am not sure why or when the celtic identity was purged from the county but cornish was widely spoken there for centuries after the saxon conquest.

You are aware we were here before 1000bc right? There is Cornish stone age, bronze age and iron age, that shows we were! There is also a no connection in our dna to the continent, and many modern scholars dismiss this theory. Mining has also existed in Cornwall since 2000bc
i have a theory that bronze itself was first created in Cornwall since it's the only place in the world with both tin and copper in significant quantities. the Celts were not an invasive military force, they were a cultural archetype. the people of Cornwall have indeed been the same since the stone age, but Celtic culture was influential here as well as all of the rest of Europe.
'There is also a no connection in our dna to the continent' That is both not true and not possible considering the origin and spread of _Homo sapiens sapiens._ It is accepted that the people of previous neolithic civilisations were almost entirely replaced by Celts during the Bronze Age, and genetic evidence supports that. Modern English people are not closely related to the people who built the original Stonehenge at all. Regardless of whether you think modern English people are neolithic or bronze age in origin (which really shouldn't be up for debate considering what genetic studies have proved), at some point we descend from peoples in Europe, the Middle East and beyond, because all _Homo sapiens sapiens_ originate in East Africa and spread over the ages elsewhere in the world. Your statement is categorically wrong. This video starts shortly before Roman times because before this, there isn't sufficient evidence to establish much about the region anthropologically. We know people lived there and mined tin there, but that's about it. It's the same reason why any other mapping video starts no earlier than ~2000BC. We just don't really know anything about the world anthropologically before that point apart from what people had arrived where at that time.
@@gramursowanfaborden5820 Most likely not. At the time the Middle East was the centre of civilisation, so advances such as bronze probably occurred there.

the Trelawny (not Trelawney, that's the one from Harry Potter) song is about a rebellion that never happened, it's often confused with the An Gof rebellion because they bear so much similarity. at the time that the events of Trelawny took place, Cornwall was already exhausted after fighting for the royalists and really had no men to make such an action.
I think that Cornwall is culturally, historically, and geographically close enough to Wales for this to evolve towards concrete administrative and political developments. Why not an administrative and political association of Cornwall and Wales with its Welsh and Cornish Parliament / Senedd Cymru a Kornog?
yes! in the south cornwall and devon are both celtic lands, and in the north there are celtic lands in england too! thats why kilts are worn in those places in england

I can take you back even earlier. In 500BC there was a migration to these Isles by Brutus and Corineus which sailed from Lemnos. Corineus was given Cornwall for his part in the Migration and is supposed to be independant from England. Cornwall is named after Corineus.
Not true. 'Cornwall' comes from Old English and it basically means 'West Foreigners'. Dumnonia is the original Romano-British name for the region and inhabitants of Dumnonia at the time very much saw themselves as being 'British' rather than Dumnonian or Cornish, as can be evidenced by Breton's name.

@@cryoraptora303tm2 One wonders why you are on a youtube video about Cornwall when you seem to know so little about it’s history, troll perhaps. In any event herewith some facts re: Cornwall’s history and its relationship with Wessex and subsequently England. “Formed almost 1,100 years ago, Cornwall’s border at the River Tamar is one of the very oldest consistent and surviving borders in the world. Accepted to have been fixed at mean high water mark on the left (east) bank of the River Tamar by King Aethelstan c.930 AD, to form the southwestern boundary of his new kingdom of England, preserving an autonomous Celtic kingdom of Cornwall, apparently by treaty with King Huwal of Cornwall. The same border was observed in Cornwall’s exemption from the tripartite English legislature introduced by King Cnut in 1015, an exemption observed by William I and written into the Leges Henrici of Henry I until at least 1135, and throughout the Earldom of Cornwall. Had the border not been viewed as sacrosanct, Cornwall would have been included in ‘Wessexlaw’ from the outset, but it was not. The same border was written into the Duchy of Cornwall Charters of 1337-38, in perpetuity, as confirmed in the wording of (for example) the Tamar Bridge Act of 1998. This border is therefore enshrined at law today and in perpetuity. A breach of this border is therefore unlawful. Devon is a shire county. Cornwall is not. It is a Duchy (Royal Commission on the Constitution 1973), and indeed formerly contained shires of its own as noted by Simeon of Durham c.1105. Learned legal opinions have concluded that Cornwall’s constitutional status resembles both a County Palatine and a Crown Dependency, but conforms to neither one. Its status is considered “unique” and “in a category of its own”. (Dr John Kirkhope, Notary Public, Weston-super-Mare). Source: www.transceltic.com/blog/boundary-commission-third-consultation-reasons-why-any-changes-border-of-cornwall-are-illegal
@@kernowboy137 And please explain to me how that makes Cornwall not a dependency or a part of England. It's legally been English for over a millennium. Having a higher degree of autonomy historically than other counties does not make it any less a part of the Kingdom of England and later the United Kingdom. As I stated in my first comment, you can be proud of your Cornish heritage without rewriting history.
@@cryoraptora303tm2 My point obviously went over your head! Permit me to elucidate further. Many people have tried to determine the true nature of Cornwall’s legal status with respect to the Crown, and England in particular. Not withstanding your opinion many learned people have been less sanguine on the matter. It is clear that the Duchy of Cornwall was created to provide the Dukes of Cornwall with a separate income from the Crown, moreover, the Duke was given equivalent power over Cornwall as the monarch enjoyed over the rest of the Britain. Over the years the nature of the Duchy of Cornwall has been deliberately obfuscated by the Crown and those in power with claims that the the Duchy of Cornwall is merely a private estate. Therefore, when people like yourself proclaim that Cornwall is just a county of England you become an accomplice to one of greatest asset stripping enterprises ever devised. My advice therefore is to look at the growing evidence provided by people like Dr John Kirkhope who has written extensively on Cornwall’s unique status in law, despite many obstacles preventing such an investigation (Freedom of Information Laws) evidently don’t apply to the Duchy of Cornwall. I’m sure if you, or anybody for that matter, read even a fraction of the papers dealing with the legal status of the Duchy of Cornwall you’ll understand why this “nice little earner” is kept under wraps.
@@kernowboy137 "the Duke was given equivalent power over Cornwall as the monarch enjoyed over the rest of the Britain" Nope. This is not the case and never has been. What do you think might've happened if the Duke of Cornwall declared that he wasn't loyal to the English crown? The Duchy at first setup had a level of autonomy, but ultimately answered to the monarch of England and later the UK. The duchy of Cornwall is very much a private royal estate and hasn't had much to do with Cornwall for a long time. It was established centuries after the English fully integrated Cornwall into the Kingdom as a county with some more autonomy than the rest and was not established in the interests of Cornwall or Cornish independence in the slightest; I find it interesting that a Cornish nationalist is arguing in favour of the Duchy which is entirely an English royal construct and if anything was a further integration of Cornwall into the English crown. Today only 2% of the Duchy's land lies within the boundaries of Cornwall and it has no jurisdiction outside of private property. But by all means, please commit a criminal offence, and when the English police turn up, please yell in their faces that they need to leave you alone as the English judicial system has no power in Cornwall, as Cornwall has never been a part of England, and only the judicial system of the Duchy of Cornwall can arrest and charge you. See where that gets you.

This is rubbish, you completly missed out the peoples who lived and built the Megalithic constructions, all four thousand years of it and then mined tin and copper prior to 1000BC
This is incorrect... Celts didn't arrive in Cornwall. Due to the recent and also the largest DNA study ever done samples were taken from all over Europe in the Celtic regions and Britain and Ireland. And now they have had a huge spanner thrown in their theory to explain us in Britain and Ireland. Because the Cornish, Welsh, Irish and Scots don't have the DNA markers that shows we came from one of the Celtic regions in Europe, in short it doesn't match we have no common genetics marker, no connection with each other at all. Which they say now proves we are the four truest Britons and that our use of a common language and culture is much like English is used today. It was because of the need for it to trade.. so we were here already! Sorry... I highly suggest reading the published papers into the findings.. It wasn't that long ago the research was published.
Plenty of Celtic style archaelogical findings in Swedish graves and bogs from the pre and early Roman iron age. And we never claimed to be a Celtic people. Its more likely that the "Celtic" culture was a pan European culture area, than a collection of related peoples.
@@apollomoon8 yes it is, as are the two languages, which aren't found anywhere else in the world apparently. The pronunciation is different, but a Welshman or woman would understand about 50% of Cornish. There has been some theories that the Celtic culture originated out of the British Isles. Just speculation for now, but very interesting.
I just learned my ancestors were the owners of pengersick castle.. which is fascinating to me.. I'm just some poor person in hawaii and to think my ancestors lived in castles and fabulous estates.. I had no idea my family history was so complex.. I was born in Washington state in the USA so my first half of my life I just thought I was a "white boy".. I'd claim to be this and that other than "white".. because I still don't personally identify as "white".. I think it was detrimental to my psyche to be covered under a blanket statement like that.. I heard stories about being native american and hawaiian and Irish and English etc etc etc.. but they were all just stories to me.. now I understand better as an adult who's done some genealogical research and got my dna tested via ancestry and 23andme.. I have to say it makes me feel more complete as a person to actually know who and what I am and where I come from.. I think its more important that we give credit for.. like I had no idea I was Portuguese until I moved to Hawaii where my 2nd great grandfather came from funchal on the ss Bordeaux as a stowaway.. that's the kind of shit I would do.. and I didn't realize some of my behavior was "Portuguese".. I didn't know it was a Portuguese thing to talk with your hands until I moved to hawaii.. my point is I feel like I can see myself better when I know my heritage.. I'm just now delving into my Cornish heritage.. all due to this pengersick castle.. I traced my family back from the tefft side of my family here in the USA.. to pengersick and goldolphin estate.. so this is where I am currently.. in Cornwall.. plus im morgan of the morgans as well so I have a lot of history here I guess.. I didn't realize there was so much folklore and tales about my actual direct ancestors.. after wading through all the personal connections it was cool to finally see how the stories hold up against this generalized timeline.. explaining many of my inter-ethnic ties and what not... totally explains a lot.. I'm proud to be a descendant of such historical times and figures.. some of the stories really make you wonder how you even came to be.. so many close calls to whole family lines just not existing.. yet here I am alive today able to read and see tales and stories and pictures and paintings of these histories.. and to connect the dots in my own life.. I suggest everyone get their dna tested especially if you live in the USA.. and build your family tree.. I did mine via ancestry.com ... it helped me see the miracle of life itself to be able to have tangible answers to my questions.. anywho.. thanks for sharing this basic history lesson..

Celtic is a linguistic family group, not a genetic family group, when speaking about Britain. British groups always point that out.Just an FYI.
Celtic DNA is German french you name it. Celtic is a language group if your grandfather was Cornish he would have English family DNA

We know people lived there and mined tin there, but that's about it. It's the same reason why any other mapping video starts no earlier than ~2000BC. We just don't really know anything about the world anthropologically before that point apart from what people had arrived where at that time.
@@gramursowanfaborden5820 Most likely not. At the time the Middle East was the centre of civilisation, so advances such as bronze probably occurred there.
Im cornish and this is very pog 👍🏻
Someone told me about palm trees where the gulf stream hits, true ?
There are palm trees in Cornwall. I don't know anything about the gulf stream though.
Plays out like a historical text book, at school history focused mainly on war i.e who conquered whom? This is the same. People have lives & culture outside the parameters of the war machine.
True, but sadly the wars form the backdrop to those lives and dictate what they'll be like.
Cornwall’s future looks bright!

My father family are from st Just Cornwall ,the Tregear family.
My great grandfather was from Devon, I think, he was a Holcombe where would I begin to find out the history of him/family/name?
Ancestry.com maybe
That's awesome! I am a Holman, and I've read in Cornish it translates to "stones on the moor" and apparently Queen Elizabeth wears a Lapel Pin "H" for this significance.
Devon is not Cornwall.

Very interesting video!
20,000, not 15,000, go listen to Trelawney a few more times ;)
the Trelawny (not Trelawney, that's the one from Harry Potter) song is about a rebellion that never happened, it's often confused with the An Gof rebellion because they bear so much similarity. at the time that the events of Trelawny took place, Cornwall was already exhausted after fighting for the royalists and really had no men to make such an action.
I think that Cornwall is culturally, historically, and geographically close enough to Wales for this to evolve towards concrete administrative and political developments.
Why not an administrative and political association of Cornwall and Wales with its Welsh and Cornish Parliament / Senedd Cymru a Kornog?
the Cornish got to London? Wow!
The only Celtic nation to advance so far into England.
im from devon and im struggling to figure out if im classed as celtic or not

yes! in the south cornwall and devon are both celtic lands, and in the north there are celtic lands in england too! thats why kilts are worn in those places in england

I can take you back even earlier. In 500BC there was a migration to these Isles by Brutus and Corineus which sailed from Lemnos. Corineus was given Cornwall for his part in the Migration and is supposed to be independant from England. Cornwall is named after Corineus.
Not true. 'Cornwall' comes from Old English and it basically means 'West Foreigners'. Dumnonia is the original Romano-British name for the region and inhabitants of Dumnonia at the time very much saw themselves as being 'British' rather than Dumnonian or Cornish, as can be evidenced by Breton's name.
The British saints were earlier, Non c450 for example.

Cornwall was NEVER a part of Wessex so you got that wrong for a start also Cornwall was NEVER joined to England. So your video is total rubbish
Lies. Cornwall has been a part of England for well over a millennium. You can be proud of your heritage without spreading myths, lies and Anglophobia.
@@cryoraptora303tm2 One wonders why you are on a youtube video about Cornwall when you seem to know so little about it’s history, troll perhaps. In any event herewith some facts re: Cornwall’s history and its relationship with Wessex and subsequently England.
“Formed almost 1,100 years ago, Cornwall’s border at the River Tamar is one of the very oldest consistent and surviving borders in the world.
Accepted to have been fixed at mean high water mark on the left (east) bank of the River Tamar by King Aethelstan c.930 AD, to form the southwestern boundary of his new kingdom of England, preserving an autonomous Celtic kingdom of Cornwall, apparently by treaty with King Huwal of Cornwall.
The same border was observed in Cornwall’s exemption from the tripartite English legislature introduced by King Cnut in 1015, an exemption observed by William I and written into the Leges Henrici of Henry I until at least 1135, and throughout the Earldom of Cornwall. Had the border not been viewed as sacrosanct, Cornwall would have been included in ‘Wessexlaw’ from the outset, but it was not.
The same border was written into the Duchy of Cornwall Charters of 1337-38, in perpetuity, as confirmed in the wording of (for example) the Tamar Bridge Act of 1998. This border is therefore enshrined at law today and in perpetuity. A breach of this border is therefore unlawful. Devon is a shire county. Cornwall is not. It is a Duchy (Royal Commission on the Constitution 1973), and indeed formerly contained shires of its own as noted by Simeon of Durham c.1105. Learned legal opinions have concluded that Cornwall’s constitutional status resembles both a County Palatine and a Crown Dependency, but conforms to neither one. Its status is considered “unique” and “in a category of its own”. (Dr John Kirkhope, Notary Public, Weston-super-Mare).

@@kernowboy137 And please explain to me how that makes Cornwall not a dependency or a part of England. It's legally been English for over a millennium. Having a higher degree of autonomy historically than other counties does not make it any less a part of the Kingdom of England and later the United Kingdom. As I stated in my first comment, you can be proud of your Cornish heritage without rewriting history.
@@cryoraptora303tm2 My point obviously went over your head! Permit me to elucidate further. Many people have tried to determine the true nature of Cornwall’s legal status with respect to the Crown, and England in particular. Not withstanding your opinion many learned people have been less sanguine on the matter. It is clear that the Duchy of Cornwall was created to provide the Dukes of Cornwall with a separate income from the Crown, moreover, the Duke was given equivalent power over Cornwall as the monarch enjoyed over the rest of the Britain. Over the years the nature of the Duchy of Cornwall has been deliberately obfuscated by the Crown and those in power with claims that the the Duchy of Cornwall is merely a private estate. Therefore, when people like yourself proclaim that Cornwall is just a county of England you become an accomplice to one of greatest asset stripping enterprises ever devised. My advice therefore is to look at the growing evidence provided by people like Dr John Kirkhope who has written extensively on Cornwall’s unique status in law, despite many obstacles preventing such an investigation (Freedom of Information Laws) evidently don’t apply to the Duchy of Cornwall. I’m sure if you, or anybody for that matter, read even a fraction of the papers dealing with the legal status of the Duchy of Cornwall you’ll understand why this “nice little earner” is kept under wraps.
@@kernowboy137 "the Duke was given equivalent power over Cornwall as the monarch enjoyed over the rest of the Britain" Nope. This is not the case and never has been. What do you think might've happened if the Duke of Cornwall declared that he wasn't loyal to the English crown? The Duchy at first setup had a level of autonomy, but ultimately answered to the monarch of England and later the UK.
The duchy of Cornwall is very much a private royal estate and hasn't had much to do with Cornwall for a long time. It was established centuries after the English fully integrated Cornwall into the Kingdom as a county with some more autonomy than the rest and was not established in the interests of Cornwall or Cornish independence in the slightest; I find it interesting that a Cornish nationalist is arguing in favour of the Duchy which is entirely an English royal construct and if anything was a further integration of Cornwall into the English crown. Today only 2% of the Duchy's land lies within the boundaries of Cornwall and it has no jurisdiction outside of private property.
But by all means, please commit a criminal offence, and when the English police turn up, please yell in their faces that they need to leave you alone as the English judicial system has no power in Cornwall, as Cornwall has never been a part of England, and only the judicial system of the Duchy of Cornwall can arrest and charge you. See where that gets you.

This is incorrect... Celts didn't arrive in Cornwall. Due to the recent and also the largest DNA study ever done samples were taken from all over Europe in the Celtic regions and Britain and Ireland. And now they have had a huge spanner thrown in their theory to explain us in Britain and Ireland. Because the Cornish, Welsh, Irish and Scots don't have the DNA markers that shows we came from one of the Celtic regions in Europe, in short it doesn't match we have no common genetics marker, no connection with each other at all. Which they say now proves we are the four truest Britons and that our use of a common language and culture is much like English is used today. It was because of the need for it to trade.. so we were here already! Sorry... I highly suggest reading the published papers into the findings.. It wasn't that long ago the research was published.
Plenty of Celtic style archaelogical findings in Swedish graves and bogs from the pre and early Roman iron age. And we never claimed to be a Celtic people. Its more likely that the "Celtic" culture was a pan European culture area, than a collection of related peoples.
No the the beaker were here first but were driven out replaced by the celts with thier superior technology'horse 'wheel and iron weapons.
But their is proof tho cornish is closely related to Welsh.
@@apollomoon8 yes it is, as are the two languages, which aren't found anywhere else in the world apparently. The pronunciation is different, but a Welshman or woman would understand about 50% of Cornish. There has been some theories that the Celtic culture originated out of the British Isles. Just speculation for now, but very interesting.

Other way round, devon is former cornish territory. If anything it should be reclaimed.

It sounds better
I just learned my ancestors were the owners of pengersick castle.. which is fascinating to me.. I'm just some poor person in hawaii and to think my ancestors lived in castles and fabulous estates.. I had no idea my family history was so complex.. I was born in Washington state in the USA so my first half of my life I just thought I was a "white boy".. I'd claim to be this and that other than "white".. because I still don't personally identify as "white".. I think it was detrimental to my psyche to be covered under a blanket statement like that.. I heard stories about being native american and hawaiian and Irish and English etc etc etc.. but they were all just stories to me.. now I understand better as an adult who's done some genealogical research and got my dna tested via ancestry and 23andme.. I have to say it makes me feel more complete as a person to actually know who and what I am and where I come from.. I think its more important that we give credit for.. like I had no idea I was Portuguese until I moved to Hawaii where my 2nd great grandfather came from funchal on the ss Bordeaux as a stowaway.. that's the kind of shit I would do.. and I didn't realize some of my behavior was "Portuguese".. I didn't know it was a Portuguese thing to talk with your hands until I moved to hawaii.. my point is I feel like I can see myself better when I know my heritage.. I'm just now delving into my Cornish heritage.. all due to this pengersick castle.. I traced my family back from the tefft side of my family here in the USA.. to pengersick and goldolphin estate.. so this is where I am currently.. in Cornwall.. plus im morgan of the morgans as well so I have a lot of history here I guess.. I didn't realize there was so much folklore and tales about my actual direct ancestors.. after wading through all the personal connections it was cool to finally see how the stories hold up against this generalized timeline.. explaining many of my inter-ethnic ties and what not... totally explains a lot.. I'm proud to be a descendant of such historical times and figures.. some of the stories really make you wonder how you even came to be.. so many close calls to whole family lines just not existing.. yet here I am alive today able to read and see tales and stories and pictures and paintings of these histories.. and to connect the dots in my own life.. I suggest everyone get their dna tested especially if you live in the USA.. and build your family tree.. I did mine via ancestry.com ... it helped me see the miracle of life itself to be able to have tangible answers to my questions.. anywho.. thanks for sharing this basic history lesson..
