Talk:Berkeley/Archive 1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Once, decades ago, I got off to a bad start with a New Jersey couple whose high-strung collie was named "Barclay." I fell off my chair, but it had never occured to them. I thought I couldn't slip it in here without being accused of "original research"— or worse. --Wetman 20:30, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Another word deriving from Berkeley is berk. I wonder if Wetman is one...

Great article, guys! I'm really impressed --ASF

Hi! Article on Clan Barclay states that "The Norman family de Berchelai arrived in England with William the Conqueror. This same family built Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire in 1153." How this relates to "The Berkeley family is unique in having an unbroken male line of descent from a Saxon ancestor before the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 to the present day." ? Whether it is the same Berkeleys? Whether this family is of Norman or Saxon descent? Gritzko

[edit] Why isn't this a disambiguation page?

Why does this page have so much information about the Berkeley family and such? It should be a disambiguation page. Patiwat 21:25, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
