    Greetings, everyone!

    I am a new member of this group and will most likely observe for 
a while.  However, I'll commence my Gothic Lessons as soon as 
possible. I have a good grasp of history, and inherited some fine 
Germanic bloodlines.  Just had one line traced back to Renaissance 
Baden (yes, I know - a little out of the way) and presently working 
on one for Hessen. As I was educated for many years,including 
college, by Irish and German nuns,I understand (from personal 
experience)how our Germanic/Gothic and Celtic cultures became 
enmeshed.  Gerhard Herm wrote in his book "The Celts:The People Who 
Came Out Of The Darkness" that the Celts had a god named "Teutates"; 
the early Irish had the concept of tuath.  Both "teuta" and "tuath" 
merely meant people, and from this root emerged the word "deutsch."  
Ref: pg 97. Looking forward to enjoying all the activity flourishing 
on this list.
