Tempted to go at mine with the cattle clippers, starting to look like a ginger yeti. Down to my eyes now.

I wouldn't like to be bald, not a lot you can do about it though.

I’ve thick heavy hair it kinda just sits in a lump if I leave it grow. Family were known as the “wiggies” long time ago and I inherited the wig.

Funny, my two younger brothers are already half bald.

Quarries closed here in Monaghan. Could get stone delivered from the north but the guards stopped them crossing the border on Thursday.

With the lambing done and the lockdown I'm passing the time doing a family tree. Got the free 14 day trial on ancestry. It's amazing the amount of surnames you are related to and don't even know. Really stuck on the fathers side. They weren't (and still aren't) great ones for the paper work.
Is there anywhere you can get graveyard plans/plots? Loads of unmarked graves where my father's family are buried.

Priest or clergyman will have map
Local man was able to intervene in a dispute here over a family row. One family tried to claim an unmarked grave.

Maybe try Genealogy, they should be able to point you in the right direction?

Check out the Griffiths valuation documents online, a fascinating record. May or may not add to your family tree search but even interesting for anyone looking to fill in a few slow hours. The Census records online for 1901 & 1911 (I think) are also a great resource. We were able to see the old house details, even things like rooms/windows/ outhouses etc. Was interesting to read who the head of the household was, languages spoken/occupation/education levels etc. On the Griffiths maps we could trace one side back to their original farm in the area before we acquired the current plot through marriage. The lad farming the original place still refers to one field by our surname even though "we" are gone out of there 100+ years.

It's really worthwhile doing the DNA test. Do it with Ancestry and you can download the results and upload on many other sites including Gedmatch where there are Ancestry groups based on Surname or County.

Its great fun. I discovered that Black Jack Kehoe was a first cousin of a Great Grandmother.

I'd love to. I have cows licks everywhere in my hair and they are a pr1ck to settle. If I shave it they still stand up. Baldness would cure them.

Scientist are still trying to work out the evolutionary purpose of balding in our species - only Chimps in the animal world follow a similar pattern as males age

Is it really worthwhile. Does it just tell you a percentage irish, Scottish, etc. Or is there something more interesting in it. I'd fear mine would be fairly boring as my crowd never travelled far from home.

It would show who visited them like Vikings, the Moors or from the plantations.

Went to count cattle this evening and jumped off the gate, twisting my ankle. A good mile from home and couldn't foot the clutch. Pain killing me. Had to phone brother to come get me.
I'd still be there if it wasn't for the mobile. A reminder to all.

And a DNA database for the CIA.

The same way that face older app thingy was for Russia's SVR database.

(Now where's my tin foil hat? I had it last covering my mobile phone but it's. .found it.)

You just enter a word and it brings back what questions people Google about that word.

So say you put in "Kerry".
A common question for Kerry is "Will they beat Dublin?"
