Particulates

[CharlesHarris]

My ancestors were lowland Scots and Irish who originally settled into western Pensylvania and later migrated south into what is now western Maryland, Virginia west of the Shenandoah river, West Virginia and parts of western North Carolina. They were a rebellious bunch, famous for the Whisky Rebellion, family feuds, the coal wars and such. We still have conservative, fundamentalist Pentaho stall churches who handle rattlesnakes as a test of faith. Thankfully Mum remained an Anglican and Dad went along with it, as the alternative Southern Methodists and Baptists were teetotalers and he would have none of that.
