Our family lost an uncle in the war--albeit in the Pacific campaign. <br />Thanks for the reminder Noelle. It is something we must never forget. <br />Blessings,<br />Aimee<br />aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255823818961459112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806704092635392794.post-40299436403843918152014-09-03T07:02:58.841-07:002014-09-03T07:02:58.841-07:00Well the Flanders are called the Low Lands and wer...Well the Flanders are called the Low Lands and were once part of the Netherlands.

According to the dictionary, a Basque ...Dear Sheri,<br />According to the dictionary, a Basque is: a member of a people living in the Basque Country of France and Spain. Culturally one of the most distinct groups in Europe, the Basques were largely independent until the 19th century.<br />Fiercely independent however, they are an entity by themselves as well demonstrated by my grandmother, very proud, fiery and with an incredible amount of love for us!<br />My paternal genealogy tree goes back to 1647, a time of Guilds in the Flanders and very prized by one and all. The first 'foreigner' to enter our family was a Yank in 1951 and the second a Brit, ex-RAF flyboy!<br />Blessings,Noelle the dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805639450753772211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806704092635392794.post-77617249138545657102014-09-02T19:47:13.881-07:002014-09-02T19:47:13.881-07:00I didn't know what Flemish was either, had to ...I didn't know what Flemish was either, had to look that one up. Is that Dutch? I have a few blog friends from the Netherlands, and they are the nicest people.<br /><br />A special heritage you are, indeed, Noelle.<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806704092635392794.post-69378561811596371012014-09-02T19:39:18.949-07:002014-09-02T19:39:18.949-07:00Noelle,

I've always been into my heritage, only because I'd like to know where my roots begin. We all come from a long line of something or other, and many people don't even know what heritage they are, or they are many different things and call themselves "muts." I guess it's important to me because that is what flows through my parents veins, and I loved them both dearly (although they aren't on this earth any more). Thank you for your comment, and whatever you are, you are a wonderful and cherished friend of mine.<br /><br />love,<br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806704092635392794.post-68817482959779423732014-09-01T20:51:17.772-07:002014-09-01T20:51:17.772-07:00Same here Merle and whilst ex-RAF flyboy was just ...Same here Merle and whilst ex-RAF flyboy was just a kiddie, he remembers it too well.<br />All the best,Noelle the dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805639450753772211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806704092635392794.post-66525825299516892672014-09-01T16:41:13.950-07:002014-09-01T16:41:13.950-07:00All before my time but as a child I remember the g...All before my time but as a child I remember the grown ups always talking about the war so have always been aware how much it changed their lives.<br />Merle..................
