Welcome to Ray's web-site!

Welcome to my web-site.
 

The site is divided into five sections. In the first two sections you may discover inter alia where my names, Raymond Armar Ignatius, come from:

1. in the Credo pages I say something about my religious beliefs and explain why I chose Ignatius as my confirmation name.
2. in the 'Genealogy' pages I have attempted to trace family background. Among other things, they explain where my parents got the names, Raymond Armar, from.

The other three sections deal with interests of mine:

3. the Eteocretan languages arose from the thesis a wrote after research for my M.Litt. degree in the late 1970s and early 80s. The section is in two parts: one deals with background material including reference to other possible pre-Greek languages such as Pelasgian; the other contains the extant inscriptions.
4. the Glossopoeia pages deal with an interest I had in my teens but which for many years lay dormant until I discovered the Conlang and Auxlang lists sometime in 1996 after the "Great Sundering" - I have since left Auxlang but am still a participant in the Conlang list.
5. after retiring, I joined a creative writing group known as "The Moles." The opening page tells a little about the group and gives a link to its Facebook page. The other pages have links to the stories, poems and memoirs I have written over the years

Thank you for visiting. I hope you find something of interest here.
