Thanks for sharing. Any of those ladies could have easily been my grandmother, great aunts, etc. The speech patterns, beliefs, childhood stories are the same as I heard from my female forebearers and kin. Speaking of Scots-Irish ancestry, have your ever read Grady McWhiney's "Cracker Culture: Celtic Ways In The Old South"? It is worth a read. Thanks again for posting. I watched it all. http://www.amazon.com/Cracker-Culture-Celtic-Ways-South/dp/0817304584

It's not in my library, but have always wanted to read it. Don't read as much having the Internet anymore unfortunately. Maybe one a month. Thanks.
Neither do I read as many books! Shame on us.
