Prince George Harry Potter, then Edmonton

     This, the second day of two months away from home for me, finds me in my Edmonton friend Doug's welcoming place, but there were wizards on the way.

     Books and Company, in Prince George, where I waited for a connecting bus from 7 PM until Midnight on July 30, was open from 10 PM to 1 AM.  Why?  The new JK Rowling book, for sale after midnight.  Staff wore wizard togs, a crowd filled the store, people formed teams for a trivia contest, and it was a magical way to wait for my bus.

     A bus brought nine passengers from Prince George to Valemount, where a second bus, from Vancouver arrived a few minutes later, around 4 AM today.  We nine joined that almost-full bus and continued toward Edmonton, which we reached at 12:20 PM today.

    Diligent Doug picked me up at the new bus station on 121 Street, we dropped my stuff at his southeast Edmonton apartment, and went to the Heritage Festival.  More on that tomorrow.  Night all.

Sequel Ideas for Canadian Generations: Confluence of Civilizations

     -Ray and Elise divide Ray's inheritance between activists in England and Canada trying to improve Home Children conditions;

-Emile Jr. and Adeline walk along Lac Ste. Anne shore, by Elise's and Ray's graves, looking to past and future, discussing how their lives might have been had they married, but their times and places did not fit that; end glad they found wonderful mates, both of whom are refugees from tyranny

Perhaps these notes would make more than one book.  The novel whose sequel's notes these are spanned 1871-1917.  These sequel notes span about 30 years.  Each of the six novels in Howard Fast's "Immigrant" series spans fewer than 20 years and is at least twice the size of my first novel.  James  Joyce's Ulysses and Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway each span a day, and Joyce's book is more than three times longer than Woolf's, implying that there is not a direct link between the length of a novel and the length of time the novel spans.  Ponder the length of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace and the time period it covers.

You have endured many of my words, and the time theme in that last paragraph reminded me of lines from William Blake (1757-1827).   One might also recall the metaphysical poets of the mid-1600s, and their "conceits," that is, metaphors or similes spun into whole poems; but let's conclude with Blake's     

                                              Auguries of Innocence    

TO see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
A robin redbreast in a cage	5
Puts all heaven in a rage.
A dove-house fill’d with doves and pigeons
Shudders hell thro’ all its regions.
A dog starv’d at his master’s gate
Predicts the ruin of the state.	10
A horse misused upon the road
Calls to heaven for human blood.
Each outcry of the hunted hare
A fibre from the brain does tear.
A skylark wounded in the wing,	15
A cherubim does cease to sing.
The game-cock clipt and arm’d for fight
Does the rising sun affright.
Every wolf’s and lion’s howl
Raises from hell a human soul.	20
The wild deer, wand’ring here and there,
Keeps the human soul from care.
The lamb misus’d breeds public strife,
And yet forgives the butcher’s knife.
The bat that flits at close of eve	25
Has left the brain that won’t believe.
The owl that calls upon the night
Speaks the unbeliever’s fright.
He who shall hurt the little wren
Shall never be belov’d by men.	30
He who the ox to wrath has mov’d
Shall never be by woman lov’d.
The wanton boy that kills the fly
Shall feel the spider’s enmity.
He who torments the chafer’s sprite	35
Weaves a bower in endless night.
The caterpillar on the leaf
Repeats to thee thy mother’s grief.
Kill not the moth nor butterfly,
For the last judgment draweth nigh.	40
He who shall train the horse to war
Shall never pass the polar bar.
The beggar’s dog and widow’s cat,
Feed them and thou wilt grow fat.
The gnat that sings his summer’s song	45
Poison gets from slander’s tongue.
The poison of the snake and newt
Is the sweat of envy’s foot.
The poison of the honey bee
Is the artist’s jealousy.	50
The prince’s robes and beggar’s rags
Are toadstools on the miser’s bags.
A truth that’s told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent.
It is right it should be so;	55
Man was made for joy and woe;
And when this we rightly know,
Thro’ the world we safely go.
Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine.	60
Under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine.
The babe is more than swaddling bands;
Throughout all these human lands
Tools were made, and born were hands,	65
Every farmer understands.
Every tear from every eye
Becomes a babe in eternity;
This is caught by females bright,
And return’d to its own delight.	70
The bleat, the bark, bellow, and roar,
Are waves that beat on heaven’s shore.
The babe that weeps the rod beneath
Writes revenge in realms of death.
The beggar’s rags, fluttering in air,	75
Does to rags the heavens tear.
The soldier, arm’d with sword and gun,
Palsied strikes the summer’s sun.
The poor man’s farthing is worth more
Than all the gold on Afric’s shore.	80
One mite wrung from the lab’rer’s hands
Shall buy and sell the miser’s lands;
Or, if protected from on high,
Does that whole nation sell and buy.
He who mocks the infant’s faith	85
Shall be mock’d in age and death.
He who shall teach the child to doubt
The rotting grave shall ne’er get out.
He who respects the infant’s faith
Triumphs over hell and death.	90
The child’s toys and the old man’s reasons
Are the fruits of the two seasons.
The questioner, who sits so sly,
Shall never know how to reply.
He who replies to words of doubt	95
Doth put the light of knowledge out.
The strongest poison ever known
Came from Caesar’s laurel crown.
Nought can deform the human race
Like to the armour’s iron brace.	100
When gold and gems adorn the plow,
To peaceful arts shall envy bow.
A riddle, or the cricket’s cry,
Is to doubt a fit reply.
The emmet’s inch and eagle’s mile	105
Make lame philosophy to smile.
He who doubts from what he sees
Will ne’er believe, do what you please.
If the sun and moon should doubt,
They’d immediately go out.	110
To be in a passion you good may do,
But no good if a passion is in you.
The whore and gambler, by the state
Licensed, build that nation’s fate.
The harlot’s cry from street to street	115
Shall weave old England’s winding-sheet.
The winner’s shout, the loser’s curse,
Dance before dead England’s hearse.
Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born,	120
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night.
We are led to believe a lie	125
When we see not thro’ the eye,
Which was born in a night to perish in a night,
When the soul slept in beams of light.
God appears, and God is light,
To those poor souls who dwell in night;	130
But does a human form display
To those who dwell in realms of day.

    Couldn't say it better myself.

   

    

      

Death Makes Life More Enjoyable

   I might die this year, as you might; but noticing that might cause more joy than grief.  Life's brevity makes life more precious, and it could make us likelier to enjoy life.

   When I looked online for 1700s English writer Samuel Johnson's line about the prospect of hanging in the morning concentrating the mind the night before, I found a website of his quotes on mortality:

http://www.samueljohnson.com/mortalit.html

In the first quote, written in Johnson's fifty-fifth year, Johnson urges himself to resolve better, after having resolved poorly for years.  He prays for time to enact better resolutions.  I'm in my fifty-fifth year.  I resolve to value time more, as it diminishes.  Today is January 5, early in the year, when people make New Year's resolutions.

Today would have been my parents' sixty-sixth wedding anniversary, which spurred me to the liquor store.  I drink little, but I wanted to drink in their memory.  I found the $10 St. Remy French brandy,  which I bought in 2014 for my daughter to give to the nurse, now retired, who baptised her the day she was born, Christmas Eve, 1992.  The two exchange Christmas gifts less often than they used to; no exchange in 2015.

In the local liquor store, succumbing to incremental privatization, I also found Cuban rum, for my socialist hackles, whiskey for Dad's rusty nail, and a shrinking variety of wine.  Mighty labors brought forth a can of  Kelowna beer, for $2.00.  It cools in my fridge as I type.

I remember going with Dad to the Edson, Alberta liquor store when I was a young boy, decades ago.  He bought a case of a dozen stubby bottles of beer for $3.10.  The liquor store was in the government building where Dad worked.  In my early twenties, I paid $8.50 for a dozen no-name stubby beer in an Edmonton liquor store.  Stubby beer bottles are no more.  Canadian beer now comes in taller, U.S.-style bottles, but luckily it doesn't yet taste as revolting as U.S. beer, but Budweiser is Canada's best selling beer.  I suppose it could clean a window or wash a dog.  Don't drink it.  Today, the cheapest beer dozen was a four-variety pack of twelve cans from Bowen Island, reduced to $15 from $17.

"We have a champagne taste and a beer income," Mom used to say.  I have less than a beer income, but today I had $2.00 for a beer.  Drunks, druggies, and gamblers seem to find money to feed their habits, I know, from knowing many addicts.  I'm too cheap to overindulge in anything but food, a reduction target this year. You'll see less of me, but I'm still here.

Getting back to death and joy, I recalled, as I walked back from the liquor store, snow fluffy on evergreens, that my daughter, looking in one of my poetry anthologies a few months ago, found a poem that said that, each year, one lives through the day on which one will die in a future year.  I've had that book since 1979 and this was the first I heard of that poem.  Perhaps, like Emily Dickinson, I should stop and look for that poem of death, before death stops for me, to paraphrase Emily.  


Walking home in a postcard winter scene, it occurred to me that each year one's death is likelier.  Each year, each day, each hour is one less to come.  This could depress a  person.  It depressed Samuel Johnson.  Time's passage inspires rather than depresses me, though.  It inspires me to use time well, which means to learn, laugh, and love, as my blog profile says.

Enjoy life.  Burn in with a gemlike flame.  Perhaps you know that famous "gemlike flame" phrase from 1800s English writer Walter Pater.   I first learned it half my life ago in an Ottawa university English literature course.  Pater advises us to find ecstasy in life, such as he finds in art and song:

http://www.victorianweb.org/authors/pater/renaissance/conclusion.html

If you want me, you'll find me on fire for life, burning as long as possible.

I Have a Mayflower Ancestor

I, like more than 35 million people in North America, have a Mayflower ancestor,.  His name was John Howland and he came from England to America in 1620.  This four-part blog entry explains our link.  The first part summarizes the descent, in 13 generations ending with my mother.  The second part, from a Mayflower ancestry website, details Generations 1-3.  The third part, from the website Family Search, links Generations 3-5.  In Generation 5,Bathsheba Joyce the Mayflower descendant marries Ebenezer Mahurin.  The fourth part details the Mahurin ancestry, from Ebenezer's Scots Irish parents, to my mother in Generation 10  in the Mahurin line, or Generation 13 in the Mayflower, Howland line.

PART ONE   
I list people who are related to Olive Annie (Bender) Nasby, my mom's mom, and related to John Howland  (1593-1675), the Mayflower passenger listed after the following 13 links.  Below that Mayflower information is the lineage of Mahurin, the most common name in this lineage.

1.  John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley (1607-87) bore Hope Howland (1629-83/84).

2.  Hope Howland and John Chipman (1613-1708, long life) bore Elizabeth Chipman (1647-98).

3.  Elizabeth Chipman and Hosea Joyce (1645- 1725?) bore Walter Joyce (1667/70-?).

4.  Walter Joyce and Elizabeth  Low (1668/71-?) bore Bathsheba Joyce (1693-1755).

5.  Bathsheba Joyce and Ebenezer Mahurin (1691-1755) bore Stephan Mahurin (1720-63).

6.  Stephen Mahurin and a woman whose name I can't find bore Silas Mahurin (1744-1811/20).

7.  Silas Mahurin and Sarah (1752-1815), unknown last name, bore Stephen (Steven) (1774-  1849).

8.  Stephen (Steven) Mahurin  and Sarah Meeks (1773-1849) bore William Harmon Mahurin    (1815-1914, long life).    In 1815, Stephen and Sarah bought 75 acres in Greyson County, Kentucky that their descendants own today.

9.  William Harmon Mahurin and Ann Deweese (1821-95/97) bore Stephen  Keith Mahurin      (1845-1927).

10.  Stephen Keith Mahurin and Annie Austin (1847-?) bore Ada Mahurin (1880-?)

        Military:  from October 19, 1863-October 17, 1865, Stephen was in the Sixth Iowa                         Cavalry Regiment.   The United States Civil War (1861-65) was on then.

11.  Ada Mahurin and Al Bender (?-May 8, 1945, VE Day) bore Olive Annie Bender (1906-51).

12.  Olive Annie Bender and Marvel Nasby (1903-94) bore Irene Marie Nasby (1928-80).

13.  Irene Marie Nasby and James Joseph Wynne (1919-89) bore Harold (1951-), Lorraine (1952-), Jeannette (1956-83), Michael (1961-), and Maryanne (1964-).

Now that you plowed through that, read the Mayflower passenger list below for John Howland's name.  Then note his daughter Hope and granddaughter Elizabeth in the generations listed under  his name.  There are some uncertain years but the descent is solid, I think.  No wonder we Wynnes all swim. After the generations listed below, read the Mahurin family lineage to confirm this famous link.

PART TWO

The Mayflower

Source: Mayflower descendants and their marriages for two generations after the landing

The Mayflower left England on September 16, 1620 with 102 passengers plus crew, and after a grueling 66 day journey, the ship dropped anchor inside the hook tip of Cape Cod (Provincetown Harbor) on November 11 (dates in Old Style, Julian Calendar).

The Mayflower originally was destined for the Hudson River, north of the 1607 Jamestown Settlement. However, the Mayflower went severely off-course as the winter approached and remained in Cape Cod Bay. During the winter the passengers remained on board the Mayflower, suffering an outbreak of a contagious disease described as a mixture of scurvy, pneumonia and tuberculosis. To establish legal order and to quell increasing strife within the ranks, the settlers wrote and signed the Mayflower Compact.

At the end of that winter, there were only 53 persons still alive [view list of dead], half of the passengers and half of the crew. In spring, they built huts ashore, and on March 21, 1621, the surviving passengers left the Mayflower.

Every living descendant of a "Mayflower" passenger, as far as known, is descended from one of the twenty-two (22) passengers named in the following list.  Applications for membership in the Society of Mayflower Descendants mush show descent from one of these men:

John Alden
Isaac Allerton
John Billington
William Bradford
William Brewster
Peter Braown
James Chilton
Francis Cooke
Edward Doty
Francis Eaton
Edward Fuller
Dr. Samuel Fuller
Stephen Hopkins
John Howland
Degory Priest
Thomas Rogers
Henry Samson
George Soule
Myles Standish
Richard Warren
William White
Edward Winslow

There were twenty-seven other Mayflower passengers from whom descent can be proved, but all of their descendants are also descended from at least one passenger named in the foregoing list.

THE MAYFLOWER PASSENGERS
THEIR CHILDREN AND

So this is OLD research!. Transcribed by K. Torp for Genealogy Trails]

There were 104 passengers, including men, women, and children, of whom 24 were heads of families. Two of these left only a daughter each, who married into one of the other families, thus leaving 22 from whom descent is traced without duplication of ancestors, as follows, viz:

PART THREE
The Link Between the Mayflower's John Howland and the Mahurins

Still with me?  In "The Mayflower Passengers Their Children and Grandchildren," which ends just above, note Section IV.  Atop it, you will see Hope Howland (?-1683) married to John Chipman (c1614-1708) in 1646. Just below that, line 33 notes their oldest child, Elizabeth Chipman (b June 24, 1647).  and that Elizabeth will marry Hosea Joyce.  Elizabeth's birth date helped me find which Elizabeth, among many Elizabeths I found, helped produce the following link between the Mayflower and the Mahurins.  That link is below, in four parts, gleaned from the Family Search website, run by the Mormons, ancestry maniacs. 

In Section One, below, see Elizabeth Chipman and her parents John Chipman and Hope Howland, all noted in IV of the Mayflower details above.  Elizabeth and Hosea, some times Josea, Joyce had several children, including Walter Joyce. 

                                                                        Section One

Elizabeth CHIPMAN Ancestral  File

In Section Two, below, Walter Joyce, child of Hosea Joyce and Elizabeth Chipman, marries Elizabeth Joyce, yet another Elizabeth.  One of their children is Bathsheba Joyce.

                                                                Section Two

In Section Three, below, Walter and Elizabeth Joyce's daughter Bathsheba marries Ebenezer Mahurin.

Section Three

Bathsheba Joyce International Genealogical Index (IGI)	birth: 17 January 1693 Marshfield, Plymouth, Maine death: about 1755	father: Walter Joyce mother: Elizabeth Mrs. Joyce
Bathsheba Joyce International Genealogical Index (IGI)	birth: 17 January 1693 Marshfield, Plymouth, Maine death: about 1755	spouse: Ebenezer Mahurin child: Stephen Mahurin

In Section Four, below, which is the Descendants of Hugh Mahurin, notice that Ebenezer is Hugh's son, the first of the family born in America.  Hugh is from Scotland or Northern Ireland.  Hugh married Mary (Campbell?), of Northern Ireland.  In that era, the English settled Scots to Ireland to colonize the plantations which took away Irish ownership of the land.  These settlers helped push the native Irish off their land.

The Scots Irish, as these settlers were known, would spawn the main group that pushed Indigenous people westward in what would become the United States.  In A Little Matter of Genocide, United States Cherokee and Professor Ward Churchill details this Scots Irish-Indigenous collision:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Little_Matter_of_Genocide

As you read the Mahurin lineage, notice the westward migration of Mahurins over the generations.

My ancestors therefore include pilgrims who fled persecution in the British Isles for America, pilgrims who then persecuted Indigenous people in America.   My ancestry also includes Scots sent to persecute the Irish, and Scots Irish who persecuted Indigenous people in America.

Someone once joked with me that, when you see two birds fighting in the air, look for an Englishman, because he started them fighting.  The common English man gained little from this, however, because the elites set people against one another for the elites' own gains; but people eking out a living sometimes unite against the elites that profit from neighbor fighting neighbor.  In 1649, the Diggers of England united to defend their land from enclosure by elites who preferred sheep to people on that land. Listen to radical English singer Billy Bragg sing of this resistance, in his song "The World Turned Upside Down:"

So have Section Four, Descendants of Hugh Mahurin, which inserts Bathsheba Joyce, the Mayflower descendant, into the Mahurin lineage, my lineage.  Generation No. 2, below, notes that Bathsheba is a Mayflower descendant.  Reading that fact led me to find the Mayflower and Family Search websites to connect the Mayflower and me, and you if you are my relative.  Numbers beside and above the text make this easier to understand.

Descendants of Hugh Mahurin:  Generation No. 10 On January 5, 1950, Irene married James Joseph Wynne in Edson, AB, Canada.  He went by Joe.  Joe was born on September 30, 1919, in Quesnel, British Columbia (BC), Canada, of Harold Joseph Wynne and Mary Ann (Irvine) Wynne.  Harold, known as Harry, was born in or near Sherbrooke, Quebec (QC), Canada, in 1882 of Joseph, 37, and Mary, 34, both Irish-born, according to the 1891 Richmond County, Quebec Census.  It seems that Joseph married twice, the second time to Eleanor O'Borne, Harry's mother noted on Harry (Wynn) and Mary Irvine's August 14, 1918 York, Ontario wedding record.    Mary was born in Enniskillen, Ireland on November 11, 1879.  Harry died in 1943 in Edmonton, AB, Mary in 1960 in Edson, AB, Irene on July 7, 1980 in Edmonton, AB. and Joe on September 29, 1989 in Edson, AB.  Joe's sister, Eleanor Mary Margaret Wynne, "Nellie," (b Kamloops, BC, June 3, 1924, d Edmonton, AB 1985), neither married nor had children. Military:  In 1916, a doctor refused Harry for war service.  "Your heart is bad.  You'll be lucky to live six months," the doctor said. Harry lived until 1943. Military:  In 1940, Joe enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy in Victoria, Canada.  He was a Stoker, Second Class in the North Atlantic Ocean during World War Two.  He traveled on corvettes, motor torpedo boats, and destroyers, escorting troop and supply ships across the ocean to England and Scotland.  Some supplies continued to Archangel and Murmansk, in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.), Canada's and England's wartime ally.  Joe's name is on a plaque in St. Joseph's Catholic High School in Edmonton, Canada, commemorating students who went to the war.  By the time of his enlistment, Joe was working for the Alberta Provincial Government in Edmonton.  His name is on a plaque in the legislature in Edmonton, commemorating civil servants who went to the war.  The Royal Canadian Legion, Joe Wynne Branch 51, in Edson, Alberta is named to honor Joe. Children of Irene Marie Nasby and James Joseph Wynne, all born in Edson, AB, are Harold James, born 1951 Lorraine Marie, born 1952 Jeannette Louise, (1956-83) Michael Joseph, born 1961 Maryanne Simone, born 1964 Note:  Maryanne Simone acquired Irish Republican citizenship and an Irish passport in 2013-14 and emigrated to Europe.  She proved descent from her namesake granny, Mary Ann.  The Irish Republic grants citizenship to children and grandchildren of citizens.  The United Kingdom, which rules Northern Ireland, grants citizenship only to children, not grandchildren of citizens.  Although Mary Ann was born in what is now Northern Ireland, it was all the colony of Ireland in 1879.  The Republic recognizes her as Irish, not British.  Centuries after Hugh Mahurin left Ireland, there is now a newly-Irish descendant. Decendants of Hugh Mahurin: Generation No 11 Child of Harold Wynne and Joanna Burns (b May 5,1951, Bedford, England): Cynthia Alison, ,born  April 29, 1974, Vegreville, AB Child of Jeannette (Wynne) Farris and Larry Farris (b. Saskatchewan, 1947, d. 199?): Kevin Joseph Woollard, born March 31, 1975 Edson, AB adopted out as child Child of Jeannette (Wynne) Farris and Ray Sanderson (b. AB, 194?-): Stephanie Marie Sanderson, born July 18, 1979, Grande Prairie, AB, adopted out as infant Child of Michael Wynne and Carla Alphonse (b Williams Lake, BC, 1963-): Chelsea Marie Wynne, born December 24, 1992, Williams Lake, BC The key I found to unlock this complexity was Bathsheba Joyce  (1692/3-1755), wed to Ebenezer Mahurin, of the second generation, above.  Bathsheba's ancestor was Mayflower passenger John Howland.  The text above misspells that as "descendent."  It also says that Marvel died in 1951.  Olive died in 1951.  Marvel died in 1994.  Despite this and other mistakes, I think the information reliably links me to Bathsheba.  What made me research this was Dorothy Ada (Nasby) Balderson, my aunt, above.  During our annual Christmas phone conversation in December, 2015,  Dorothy said she had Mahurin ancestors.  It was the first time I heard that name.  Dorothy said that Ron Mahurin of Idaho (b 1946, I found out), visited Dorothy's Beiseker, Alberta farm a few years ago.  She said he left ancestry notes with her.  I found the Mahurin lineage online.  It noted Mayflower descendant Bathsheba married to Ebenezer  Mahurin, Dorothy's ancestor.  Should I have named our daughter Bathsheba, not Chelsea? My sister Maryanne recently added poetic unity to this ancestry.  She acquired Irish citizenship because our dad's mom was born in Ireland.  Our mom had an Irish-born ancestor, Mary (Campbell?), an ethnic Scot if Campbell was her name, a recent surprise to me.  Maryanne therefore completes  two-generation and a multi-generation circles back to Ireland. My and Carla's marriage completes a Welsh circle.  Carla has ancestors from Wales.  Her tribal council has traced that lineage.  My dad's mom had an English surname, Irvine.  She married a Canadian, Harold Joseph Wynne,  born of Irish immigrants.  Wynne is a Welsh name.  My spouse and I therefore both have Welsh ancestors. Where is the name Wynne from?  In May, 2015, my sisters Lorraine and  Maryanne generously bought me passage to and around the British Isles, where Maryanne lived from 2014-2016.  Maryanne and I stayed in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, for a few nights.  Enniskillen is fewer than 40 kilometres from Brookeborough.  We saw this village which our dad's mom Mary Irvine left to emigrate to Canada in 1916, exactly a century ago.  In an ancestry book in the Enniskillen public library, I read about the 1642, I think, migration from Wales to Fermanagh, Granny's county, of a Welsh policeman named Wynne.  Wynne is Grandpa Harry's, not Granny Mary's name, so this Welsh Wynne is probably not our ancestor.  Or is he?  I don't know.   In the 1640s, the English sent many Scots, Welsh, and probably English to support the plantation system that colonized Ireland.   It seems that our ancestors are more migrants to than indigenous people of Ireland:  Irvine is and English name and Wynne is a Welsh name.  Indigenous Irish, however, adopted non-Irish names; but I don't have enough information to see what, if any Indigenous Irish ancestry I have.    Regardless, after a few generations, many plantation colonists of Ireland, like those of the 1200s, 400 years before, considered themselves more Irish than anything else.  Many Irish critical of English rule have been Protestant, the same religion as that of the colonists who came after Protestantism rose in England in the 1500s:  Jonathan Swift, the writer and Dublin Church of Ireland cathedral dean in the early-1700s;  Wolf Tone, the lawyer who led the 1798 rebellion against English rule, and the George Bernard Shaw, the early-1900s writer and Nobel Literature prize winner.   Our Irish Granny had a brother in the Royal Irish Constabulary, the English colonial police in Ireland, the model for Canada's Royal Canadian Mounted Police.  When we fantasize that our ancestors were rugged rebels, we should pause and realize that they at least as likely collaborated with colonizers.  Similarly, modern Indigenous people in Canada wax poetic about descent from anti-colonials, but they probably realize that their ancestors probably worked with colonizers.  It's flattering to imagine one's ancestors fighting the colonizers and their local collaborators, but more fighters than collaborators died, especially in Ireland and America.  The living, not the dead, produce descendants, our ancestors.    Chelsea, my and Carla's daughter, justly ends this lineage.  Carla is Indigenous, from the Chilcotin nation near Canada's Pacific Coast.  In Part Three, above, I note that Scots helped push Irish from their land in Ireland, and that the resulting Scots Irish helped push Indigenous people from their land in America.  Now the settlers have an Indigenous descendant. Long ago, my dad joked, "You might not want to know who your ancestors were.  They might be highwaymen," that is, robbers.  Perhaps his dad, and especially his mom, told him things he didn't want me to know.  Perhaps my grandparents, whom I never met, knew things they didn't want Dad to know.              -Michael Wynne, Williams Lake, BC, Canada, December 13, 2015   Revised, Mayflower-Mahurin link and closing paragraphs, added April 19,  2016
