Henry Ford had some tin and board, the board he nailed, the tin he bent, he gave it a kick and off it went
I have a lot of data about Richard s descendants, but I cannot figure out who his father is with documentation or how a 22 yr old single guy got a plantation there. There s also the reality of the anglicization of Gaelic surnames which happened probably mostly as a result of the differences in spelling between those Gaelic names and English pronunciation.

Ford family member calls for teamwork with UAW
Bill Ford, executive chairman at Ford Motor Co. and great-grandson of founder Henry Ford, warned this week that the contract negotiations with the United Auto Workers union could spell doom for the auto industry.
At a news conference at the Ford River Rouge complex in Dearborn, Michigan, on Monday, Mr. Ford pleaded with the union to work with the company.
“The UAW’s leaders have called us the enemy in these negotiations. But I will never consider our employees as enemies,” he said. “This should not be Ford versus the UAW. It should be Ford and the UAW vs. Toyota and Honda, Tesla and all the Chinese companies that want to enter our home.”
Mr. Ford’s comments did not convince the union. UAW President Shawn Fain responded to the plea with a typical mix of hostility and solidarity.
“It’s not the UAW and Ford against foreign automakers. It’s autoworkers everywhere against corporate greed,” he said. “If Ford wants to be the all-American auto company, they can pay all-American wages and benefits. Workers at Tesla, Toyota, Honda and others are not the enemy — they’re the UAW members of the future.”
Mr. Ford’s statement comes after a contentious week between the two parties in the labor battle. Last Wednesday, UAW announced a surprise strike at a massive Ford facility in Louisville, Kentucky. Thousands of workers were affected by the work stoppage in a move Ford called “irresponsible.” The move is expected to cost the company millions of dollars and lead to further layoffs.
After the plant’s closure, Mr. Fain announced more surprise strikes are coming if the big three car companies fail to deliver on the union’s demands. Ford said it’s at the limit of what it can offer the union.
Ford’s last offer reportedly included an over 20% pay increase, improvements to benefits and cost of living expenses and a ratification bonus. The proposal was still far below the UAW’s stated goals of a 40% pay increase, the reintroduction of retirement pensions and a four-day workweek.

My name Ford has been a resident of Frederick County MD but I have no clue where they originated. Frederick County has quite a few Fords but I was always told that our family had roots in the Yellow Springs area but I don’t know how or when they located there. My grandfather’s name was Norman P. Ford. His father’s name I’m told was John. If anyone can give me any info please contact me. My grandmother’s maiden was Mary Susan Kinna from Middletown MD. My goal is to get some info that can fill me in on my grandmother as she passed before I was born and I am trying to fill a void about her. As a youngster I never pains any attention and never asked question about her. My dad passed and I have no way to follow my search!

Reviews for "The Northern Witchcraft Tradition: Tracing its Roots to Glenda"
1. Thomas - 2/5 stars
I was really disappointed with "Glenda witch of the north." The story felt very poorly developed and the characters lacked depth. The whole concept of a witch in the north sounded interesting, but unfortunately, the execution fell flat. The pacing was off, dragging in some parts and rushing through others. Overall, it felt like a missed opportunity and I wouldn't recommend it.
2. Emily - 3/5 stars
I had high hopes for "Glenda witch of the north," but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The writing style was decent, and there were a few intriguing moments, but the plot was too predictable. The protagonist's journey felt cliché, and the resolution was unsatisfying. Additionally, I found some of the dialogue to be unnatural and forced. While it wasn't a terrible read, I was left feeling underwhelmed and wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it.
3. Samantha - 2/5 stars
"Glenda witch of the north" was a major letdown for me. The characters were incredibly one-dimensional, and I struggled to connect with any of them. The plot felt disjointed and lacked coherence, making it difficult to follow along. Moreover, the world-building was minimal, leaving many unanswered questions. The writing style was also quite simple, which detracted from the overall reading experience. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this book to others as it left much to be desired.
