My father (born 1905) told me that his mother and her siblings spoke German among themselves. Their ancestors (therefore mine) came to Pennsylvania in the early 18th century. They were the people Franklin warned us about. They also fought on Franklin’s side for American Independence, and for the Union in the Civil War.
My mother’s mother was descended from a member of the Sacred Expedition that “conquered” Alta California in 1769 for the Spanish Empire. The border crossed us. My great-uncles fought in World War I.
My grandfathers - one was born in Cardiff and the other in Cupar (Fife). I bet that doesn’t bother Ann Coulter!
Marie-Alphonsine Ghattas was beatified, not beautified.
I enjoy hearing about the rich history of Palestine, which the occupiers have tried to blot out, much as ISIL/Daish and the Saudis have destroyed artefacts that aren't in accord with their ideologies.
