Duddington Plaque Contains Our "Wyles" Ancestors!

Northants: Duddington [Area] War Memorials – Digitalised! (1.8.2025)

We have been travelling around Duddington and the surrounding area – research genealogical information for the local surname “Wyles”. Whilst carrying-out this vital historical investigation – we decided to gather data pertaining to the often forgotten War Memorials and Rolls of Honour. We include four such projects that we have completed this week (we are thinking of extending this to any area we find old Churches containing War Memorials).

Duddington Bridge - 2025

Northants: Ancient Duddington – Tixover Bridge! (27.7.2025)

As soon as we entered the graveyard – everyone started shouting-out the name “Wyles”! I was astonished as I had become so used to having a name that hardly anyone had heard of. It turns-out that names in the UK – just like anywhere in the world – developed in local areas and spread-out as populations moved about. It turned-out that Duddington has been cut-off from mainstream society for years – with my direct relatives not leaving until around 1905. Even today – the world has passed Duddington by. None of the broader changes of society have touched Duddington at all. The local population today are wealthy and conservative with a “C” and “c”. Although I do not share these views myself – I have to admit that these attitudes have preserved my family history until I became aware of it – and have been able to gather all the data together for anyone interested to benefit freely from it. Today, myself and Gee headed to Duddington around 6aam in the morning to get some early research in. We are staying in the Duddington area to carry-out some much needed genealogical investigations and we are making important headways already!

Zelensky Crimewave in Neo-Nazi Ukraine – Selenski Crimaewave in US! (4.3.2025)

Perhaps the same fate awaits his name-sack in Kyiv – and all his Neo-Nazi henchmen including the Klitschko (boxing) brothers – although their ending might be a little “stickier”. Whatever the outcome of the Kyiv Hitlerite regime – it is believed that previous US governments (including that of Trump) – deliberately “suppressed” details of the criminality of Hugo Selenski due to his embarrassing “surname” relationship with the Kyiv Dictator! This is similar to how Western countries – including the UK – are currently suppressing the news of the crimewave unleashed by the arrival of hundreds of thousands of arrogant Neo-Nazi Ukrainians – all expecting something for nothing and influencing our liberal culture with their Hitlerite views. If they love Neo-Nazi ideology so much – why not go back to Ukraine and “volunteer” for service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU)? I hear there are many, many career opportunities – with many more appearing daily! The hours are good and the task is not too demanding – just keep running at Russian machine guns whiles the Dictator Zelensky traverses the world 1st class eating caviar.

Old Ch'an Dao Gongfu

Ch’an Dao: Confucian Lineage! (8.11.2024)

Of course, the modern world is a very different place to the ancient (feudal) world from which Confucius lived, but nevertheless, so much of modern Chinese culture is premised on just this type of social organisation and spiritual coordination. This is true even when gongfu Styles are accessed through “money” – rather than through “virtue”. This attitude of “Respect” and “Harmony” has permeated the culture of Korea, Japan, and Okinawa – with the latter once being a distant part of the Chinese Empire. By issuing his “Hamon” – Sensei Higaonna is proving that his Style of Goju Ryu Karate-Do is “Chinese” in origination – as indeed it is (premised upon the White Crane gongfu of Fujian province).

Distance from Madeira to Portugal

Southport: Dispelling Far-Right Lies and Myths – the Victim – Alice da Silva Aguiar – is NOT White! (9.8.2024)

Its etymology comes from the Latin word “L’Aquillare”, translating to “Haunt of the Eagle”, “Of the Eagle”, or perhaps “Place of the Eagle”, etc. Local names such as these originally denoted the proprietorship of a village or estate. In this regard, many of these Spanish local names reflect Arabic descriptive words or place-names. This is because the Islamic “Moors” (Black Africans and Middle Eastern Arabs) conquered Spain between the 8th – 12th centuries. Even the apparent middle name of “da Silva” seems to denote the migration of the family from Spain into Portugal – as this is also used as a surname amongst the Portuguese. The surname “Da Silva” was first found in the town of “Silva” in the Portuguese province of Valenca do Minho. The name of the town is derived from the Portuguese word “Silva” which means ‘”forest” – and indicating that the area was once heavily forested. The surname “Da Silva” means “Of the Forest” – or “From the Forest”. Of course, this individual’s entire family name could be “Da Silva Aguiar” – meaning the “Forest Haunted by an Eagle”. The Moorish “Eagle” people of Spanish descent had finally settled in the Portuguese “Forest”!

Sheep Are Generally "Apolitical"!

FBI: Surname “Crooks” NOT Related to Habitual Crime! (14.7.2024)

FBI Files report that the surname ‘Crooks’ is an ancient English surname relating to an individual who specialises in the care of adult sheep or juvenal lambs. As a surname, it is related to the surnames ‘Shepperd’ and ‘Lambert’ – with ‘Crooks’ referring to a six-foot wooden staff that possess a ‘hook’ (or ‘crook’) at one-end – used to ‘envelop’ the neck-area of a sheep or lamb – ‘at a distance’. This piece of pre-modern technology allows for troublesome and quick-footed sheep and lambs that need to be captured and brought near to their human carer.
