Mine too , came over here in the 1750 on some sort of' forced immigration policy'...the Brits and their German cousins were great at moving folks around in those days. Oh well no hard feelings , worked out fine.

Might not have met all you fine folks!

Welcome pard. My family name Carman is desended from some folks who came here in 1631, to Plymouth, wern't on the Mayflower, waited a few years to see if it would work out. Wern't that welcome in England at the time. Something to do with churches.

Mine hit the shores in the middle 1600's, in the Carolina's.........

Oh come on Del. We all know that you are descended from the Karmanns from Osnabrueck, Germany. The ones who stayed behind went on to convert beetles into convertibles and later collaborated with the Eye-talian design firm from Turin: Ghia. It was in the blood though, because you dabbled with VWs also.

Her maiden name was Funderberg. She might have been a relative of yours.....but then again, she was a dusky Nubian lady about 6'1" and an easy 225 pounds, and didn't have much resemblance to you at all.

No surprise here. I've run across several of those dusky Funderbergs/Funderburks in my time. Nice folks, too! I've also run across some "dusky Choctaws" who may be distant blood relatives.

In 1933, the "Lone Ranger" radio program debuted on Detroit radio. He was always my favorite program on TV, I guess because of the Texas Ranger connection and the fact that he and I have the same last name. I even had the William Tell overture as my ringtone when I had a Nokia cell phone.

Part right, the English part of the family are said to have settled there after some of the invasion from Saxony.

Diane married a guy named Joe Sills. When we arrived two days before Christmas in a cold, snowy, exhausted, burned out state, she took one look and started cooking. Joe took one look and said, "COWBOYS! There goes the neighborhood."

They saw the kids had Christmas (Everything was on a moving van someplace) and Diane took Shawna under her wing until everything was delivered and we got settled in.

The first time we visited their house there was a huge Black Power flag on the wall, so when we got organized and invited them over I had a huge Confederate flag on our wall. Joe took one look and spent the next two weeks laughing his butt off.

Very good friends and somehow we lost track of them.

Two main clans (my mom and dad) would be Dixon and Murphy... with O'Neil, O'Clanahagn, Dunne, Brennan, O'Flaherty and others in there as well thanks to Chicago! LOL

LMAO!!!

"we're on a mission from Gawed!"

LOL

yes I love that movie!
they are also the purveyor of the pizza, the one and only 4" thick pizza, just the way I love them. A crust isn't the end of the dough rolled up all fancy... it's to hold all the toppings in!

Texas Lawdog · January 31, 2009, 10:22:17 AM

Willie, You otta see the deep dish pizzas we fixed at the Muster last fall. Del fixed them in Dutch Ovens,

Yeah but them wern't She-cog-oh style, them were Newbrassky style.

Some how didn't end up with any pictures of a slice of one. If Wille was from ~~Filley~~ Philly, we could offer him a cheese steak, Filley Newbrassky style.

(I lived near Filley a brief time when quite young and cook near there)

Texas Lawdog · January 31, 2009, 01:36:03 PM

I do believe that Del can cook anything in those Dutch ovens and the food is delicious.

Delmonico · January 31, 2009, 01:37:51 PM

Nope, don't think I could do much with liver, pineapple or several other things I can't stand.

Texas Lawdog · January 31, 2009, 01:46:23 PM

I'm with ya on the liver.

Arcey · January 31, 2009, 01:57:03 PM

Grandy Farm Village in Carolina always has fresh pineapple. Where from I dunno. Got this press whut cores 'em, if that's the right werd, then someone will dice the things up for samples. I usually have a hunk. Reminds me of why I don't like the things.

Liver – no way in hell.

Texas Lawdog · January 31, 2009, 02:04:08 PM

I shiiped a bunch of pineapples home when we were in Hawaii the last time. I never had fresh pineapple until we went over the first time in about 87.

Leo Tanner · January 31, 2009, 02:10:15 PM

Out here a lotta folks want pineapple on their pizza

Ma wife is one of em. It's just plain wrong on so many levels. Not only is the flavor all wrong, the texture of them tings on a pizza is enough ta spoil yer appetite.
