Inauguration Day for the President/Vice President in the United States

January 20 and every four years our American neighbours (and in my case also cousins) have Inauguration Day for their President (and Vice President). It is a beautiful time of ceremonial remembrance of their history already written and the history to come. Usually I do watch that on television. One doesn't have to be American to respect and love one's neighbours. 

I really do like Premier Ford's idea of a closer economic union between our countries and I would add in a closer custodial union in order to better manage this continent with intake of people from outside of the continent only at airports and at ocean ports and with a co-operative/merged federal police force (and absolutely as I have been saying for many years we need to put more money into our military to support this custodial ability for this continent). We have the same aim, all of us, to protect the continent from those who would try to attack us. Huge swathes of the Canadian portion is owned by the First Nations so we must also have buy in from them but more and more of our First Nations is becoming involved in their local and provincial/territorial government which is really great to see and one was considering a run as leader of the Liberal Party which I thought was great. He has probably decided to wait until next time as that didn't happen - but lots of cheers for him for sure. 

Congratulations to the United States on Inauguration Day and may it be a wondrous day enjoyed by all.  A perfect day for the Inauguration and I have been watching it on CNN for the past hour or so. I think their ceremony is quite lovely. I will keep the TV tuned in all day but will try to get my usual cleaning of the basement in along with my continuing research on the Blake family.

When I took on the Blake study at the Guild of one-name studies in 2011 it followed my giving up the Siderfin Study and suddenly I had time on my hands and I had tested my brothers by then with their y-DNA, Ethnoancestry had also been used and I had tested them at several other companies so I had a pretty good picture of the yDNA for our line. I had joined the Blake yDNA study at FT DNA of which Bill Bleak is the co-ordinator and was watching as the various tests came in. We do not really have enough members in our study to make very many conclusions or suppositions beyond what Barrie Blake created when he assigned the various groups (I have made small changes but nothing large).   I have written up  articles on the yDNA through the years and will probably do a couple of articles when I complete the book with the content that would be particularly useful to the many Blake researchers involved in the yDNA project. When you look at the Calendar of Patent Rolls in the time period that I am examining which overlaps with the Emigrant's Database (1330-1550) for England, there are a lot of records all over the country but as the map showed they are concentrated in particular areas. Is that telling me that these are the "founding" areas for Blake in England? Can I safely assume that? I do think about that a lot. I have also transcribed many many wills for the Blake family in England dating back to as early as 1487. The oldest wills are from 1487 with Thomas Blake probated 29 Mar 1487 and he mentions Stanford, London Diocese in his will and the second John Blake of Beyrghelmenston (Brighton) Sussex being the next oldest probated 3 Jul 1487. 

I realized as I collected all this information (that is why I blog it so much) that I would not be able to in my lifetime study all the lines so at this moment as I head towards 80 I am working on the Andover Blake family. However, as I move through this early part I will look at the different collections in areas that concentrate on the Blake surname especially in the yDNA Study that are in this same area in England. The Irish Blake family at Galway is very well researched already and there are books published.  Many many members of the study are Americans with the Blake surname. There are also Canadians and a few from the British Isles, Australia, and New Zealand.

Continuing with the survey of the Calendar of Patent Rolls with Blake in the item and it is completed on this day, a long post though.
