I have never met or heard of an Elston in this area. If it was the 80's I could have counted them in the phonebook for you.

Says I'm from Wrexham, Oswestry(there's a big red dot that encompasses both of those places). Joke is on them, I'm from Slovenia.
But very interesting that it returned a result based on my last name. I guess it's not exclusive to Slavic nations.

Not sure where in Scotland my family emigrated from, it was the mid 1800's.
But, for my wife, when her paternal grandmother left the reservation in Upstate New York, she was given a last name which indicates South-East England...
My wife's mother side is fresh-off-the-boat from Russia and Germany, though.

Northern Island??? I don't think so! My Dad is from Midlands and my Mum from Yorkshire, both moved to Devon as kids... I also believe the name is Scottish.

Notinthepub gave me no result, besides I think it goes back further than your Mum and Dads generation.

Having a non English name I tried it anyway.
There must have been some immigrants who settled in Carlisle (Cumbria) and Downham Market (Norfolk).

In my case, it gives my correct birth-town (London), but the family certainly does not originate there. I also tried some obviously foreign names - Sato, Matsumoto, etc. In all cases, it gave London as the most likely origin. Apparently, all it's doing is providing a density map of the family name(s) in contemporary records.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Apparently from Swindon.
Is that good or bad?

Saw that, interesting site. I am Halifax and Berskhire.

That is more accurate for my name, a focus in Devon and Notts.
For some reason in 1881 there was a very high density in Blackpool, but almost nothing in 1998. My ancestors must have been on a stag do when the census was taken in 1881.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Yup it is. Correctly says Hampshire while the other one had me up in the Midlands. I know as fact that the family has been around the Hanmpshire /Berkshire border for at least a couple of centuries.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

It claims I'm Irish for some odd reason.
My Grandpa Neely has always insisted that his ancestors were all English or German.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I would have guessed Irish from the name.
Just found this "Broadly the translation is 'the son of the descendant of the hound'."
Remember over a million Irish fled around the world during the potato famine, so Irish names will be established in plenty of other countries for many generations now.

Milton Keynes?
Never heard of it.
But at least it's not Luton.

Apparently the wife and I are both from a small island off the west coast of Europe called "No Data".

Upstate New York, outside of Albany. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, though.

in our club we often refer to "The Cycle Of Considerations" (like this[^]), which comes from kenpo.
This is the only framework I've encountered in martial arts, so I wonder if anyone knows of another model or framework that is used. (links with info are always helpful )
Thanks!

In my club we have also got a "framework" like that, and strangely enough, it also consists of a cycle. But it's much more simple:
1) You hit one of the other guys as hard as you can
2) The other guy hits you as hard as he can
3) Start over from 1)
