Dwight Radford has posted a lot of GREAT STUFF since I last posted a blog about his The Journey Home Genealogy website. His last 5 blogs alone dealt with the following topics:
- Presbyterian Identity
- Prince Edward Island Archives
- Scots-Irish and Muscogee (Creek) Connection
- The Un-churched Dictionary of the Churched (1811) – Part 2
- The Un-Churched Dictionary of the Churched (1811) – Part 1
I absolutely love his “The Un-churched Dictonary of the churched (1811) (in two parts). Dwight sorted out religious and church associated words to create a mini-slang dictionary from the Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, published in 1811. See: http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/5402/pg5402.html. It was British Isles slang drawn from words and terms common in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
I’ve been keeping a running consecutive lsting of the blog titles from Dwight’s site, with links to his blogs, as I find them all extremely interesting, well written and of use to anyone doing Irish and/or Scottish research. There are many that are of interest to other folks also.
