Blagadan:
Thanks Clay, pburke!  There are a lot of Irish names in the US I guess.  At least when I visited (in Michigan) it seemed like every second person I met was a Kelly  :)

Burke is a common name here ... some history for you... "Burke is one of the Anglo-Norman names that came to Ireland in the 12th century. The surname Burke is derived from the Old English word "burh," which is derived from the Old German word "burg," the common Germanic word for a fortification. It seems likely that the first family to bear this surname would have lived in or near a prehistoric fort situated on a hill"

Take care!

PBurke:
hah, bald rob can't mess with a fortifacation. j/k bro. thanks for the info buddy. that is interesting.

wpruitt:
Blagadán - Welcome.  I suspect that 2 out of 3 Americans can find some Irish blood somewhere in them!

Shave looks good!

How'bout "Blackmore"?  My grampa from Galway was "Micky Blackmore"
