So did you slashdot the first site you posted with the Toy Story 2 photo?
|
I have NO concept of how that works. I doubt enough people read this thread to have any negliigible impact on the hits on a photo posted somewhere. But, since I have no concept of this sort of thing...maybe it does?!
There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Now THAT'S a bucket! 
I've just been re-living Bad News. Not the quarters, but the heifers. I'm not putting up with the slim-slam anymore!
Its all right, really. Just a momentary side-trip into the reality of the whizbang. One more horn and that baby's gonna take off.
Now THESE, my friend, are some stylin' buckets:
There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Just not sure, Cees. But I like the fact she uses no straw to drink her soda from a glass. Neither do I.

Hé, Fréson, did you know that Peter Stuyvesant was a genuine Frisian too? (To continue an earlier discussion.)

From Wikipedia.com:
Quote:

Stuyvesant is credited with introducing tea to the United States.
|
Pieter Frison came to (not-quite-then-the) United States about a hundred years after Peter Stuyvesant (from Peperga, Friesland). So I'll guess they didn't know each other.
From my dad's genealogical record:
Quote:
Pieter was born in Flanders in 1725. He came to America and settled in what is now Ghent in Columbia County, NY. It is interesting to note that the Provincial capitl of East Flanders was Ghent (Gent).
Peter Frezon was a private in Capt. Laurens Olivies Company in Col. Moses Hazens regiment during the Revolutionary War. He also fought in the Seven Years (or Old French) War.
He and his wife Rachel Dingman were married in 1758 and had three children: Catrina, George and John (Johannes) Frezon.
Various spellings of the surname include: Frison, Friesan, Frizon, Freeson and Frezon.
|
He's got lots more, of course..but that's the earliest.
Lots of names like Barent, Annatie, Johannes, Abram and (Joda) Judith in our tree.
One of my best friends growing up was a Staats. His family traces back to the Netherlands, too. They've kept many of the early family names alive. There are still Barents and Bleeckers, etc.
There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

My Latin teacher's name was Staats. I must have a photograph somewhere of the whole group of the first grade (back in the fifties) with him on it too.
Peter Stuyvesant's first name was Pieter, originally, like your grand-grand-granddad's. After finishing Latin school he often wrote it like "Petrus" when signing.
From that very interesting book I'm reading, I'm beginning to see a pattern with all those people who went to the area in those days. They came as traders (often having been in the Caribbean, Brasil, etc. for some time too). Then, within a few months after arriving in or around Manhattan, they changed, and became settlers.
The area wasn't very good as a trading post or colony, but an excellent place to live and make a great life for your own and a family.
