-deep breath- Phew! So yeah. A mostly complete journey from 1639 to ... 2006, when the youngest on the list were born.

I asked my mom to fill in my blanks, so maybe I'll know more later.

But~ there's a long list for ya. Thoughts? Likes? Hates?



.. am I the only one who got a bit hung up on the man named Liberty? Anyone else frightened by the sheer amount of Johns, Marys and Peters?

Lysbeth - I guess we 21st-century dwellers can't really complain about our love of tryndee spellings, huh? The Puritans put us to shame, lol. Belteshazzer proves my point, amirite? :D

I like Flora Alice. That's pretty. I'm surprised to see Amanda (which I'm starting to love more each day), since I've always thought that was a fairly new name in the grand scheme of names.

lol for a long time I thought Belteshazzer was a butchering of Balthazar, but apparently 'Belteshazzar' is a biblical name.. or title.. something like that.


The Amanda up there was born in 1842 :3

My mom's boyfriend has a good friend named Liberty that's a guy. He prefers to go by "Lib" as it's not so, erm, yeah. I guess his parents were major hippies though, so it really makes sense.

[piamon.livejournal.com]

I would have assumed hippie parents to this Liberty, but he was born in the 1850s
