Oh my God. Where is this going?

While none of this can yet be confirmed, the snippets mentioned elsewhere are suggesting multiple mass graves, including children.

And Amess trial - a smile having stabbed someone 20 times! Not Ukraine I know but this world is going mad

From what I know, 'mack' and 'mick' are both offshoots of Gaelic, and so are found in both Ireland and Scotland. My branch of the family with the 'mick' were definitely of Irish descent.
Family history is fascinating (digressing from the main theme as I am). On my father's side there were Waldrons from Co. Mayo.

Have you done your genealogy? Check Census National Archives. 1901 and 1911 censuses onlit. Waldron is not a common surname mate.

If nothing else, Russian apologists within the U.K. will have to remain silent for a long time. Russia is now pegged as liars, war criminals and military imbeciles…the world is watching and learning……I hope you are enjoying the absolute trashing of your country Mr Putin………

I wrote to the Co Mayo records office many years ago and received a lovely reply, but they said that Waldron was a fairly common name there. My grandmother on my father's side was a Mary Ann Waldron; her father was John Waldron, and his father was Michael Waldron. That's as far back as me and my sister could get before the trail ran cold. It's all fascinating stuff.

Great geneology lesson lads.

But wrong thread.

1901 and 1911 censuses are free and online. Sadly most of the earlier ones went up in flames during the Civil War.

I'm not a fan of Musk, but providing low-latency internet service to Ukrainians and their government has been truly remarkable. And what one should expect from the richest man in the world.

SpaceX and USAID deliver 5,000 Starlink internet terminals to Ukraine

Starlink is helping Ukraine stay online despite the Russian invasion.

It’s a common enough name out West mate, but I believe it’s origins are Germanic rather than Gaelic.

Not looking at that. Or anything else to be honest. Bloody heart breaking.
