Sir Gerard,

(Hope I spelled that correctly) My grandfather was born in Yorkshire, England. He moved to the US when he was young.

Where abouts in Yorkshire did your Grandfather hail from?

Sir Gerard,

Bradford. Had to check my family tree...which is posted in my hallway. (I also have the tree for my late wife...her grandfather was of a line of hereditary blacksmiths to Count Czeckonich in Banat)- I researched it on line and have all the photos of the counts posted too.

I live just outside of Atlantic City, but I was born and spent most of my life up by Ulrich, in Plainfield.

I'm in Bayville NJ, it is a part of Ocean County.  Southeastern area of New Jersey, very close to the shore.  I am not that far of a distance between me and Sir Ulrich.

Too bad everyone is still a bit far away. I am hoping the 3 knights who will eventually sponsor my knighting are not too far away. I really want to have the knighting done at my hpuse. I've done and am still doing so much to create a medieval atmosphere to make it memorable.

Adelaide, South Australia.

You'll have to forgive me, as we aren't really taught the abbreviations for the US states - we aren't taught the names of the states at all. I could maybe name 7 or 8, if I had to, but would recognise the names of most of them. All that is learned from television or books, however.

So if I don't know what you mean by CA, or VW, or HIJKLMNOP, I apologize. :P

No problem. :) Some of the basic ones you'll see here are:

CA - California
VA - Virginia
WV - West Virginia
MD - Maryland
PA - Pennsylvania
NJ - New Jersey
DC - District of Columbia (the capitol)

Of the ones I mentioned above, CA is on the west coast, and the rest are on the east coast.

Noted. Thanks for that clarification. I'll probably need to refer back to it a few times, I imagine. :P

NV= Nevada.

BTW I also live 30 miles west of Los Angeles even though I'm 215 miles east from the Pacific.

NY is most certainly NOT part of New England, Sir Sorbus- do not be fooled by Lord Dane's listing it with the New England territories.  As a native NYer, I take issue with that.  ;)

Sir William is correct, Sir Sorbus. That is why I put the '&' in the comment. NY stands alone and is not good enough to be part of New England as we host much better sports teams such as the "Boston Red Sox" & "NE Patriots".  :P
