I came of age politically in 1968 when I decided the Dems were much more to my liking than the Repubs, though I did admire Nixon's intelligence and Ford's decency. That was when the war molded most youngsters view of the parties.

It was 7 degrees C when I got up yesterday morning. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-...ence-1.4816356 How disappointing for the cruise ship passengers. 7C is something above freezing, right? It doesn't take a McCain style hero to endure such cold weather. Buck up sissy boy. -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ Buck up?? I love this weather..warms up to around 20 C during the day and nice cool nights for sleeping. The best of both worlds. It isn't any country for girliemen thou. 7C is still shorts weather for me. "Yeah some of us southern boys are tough. It was more like -10C here. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Florida%20boy%20in%20Michigan.jpg" Thought you claimed to be from upstate New York.......or am I confusing you with Wayne? "Check your dossier." Speaking about dossiers....let's get yours upgraded. Way back there was a Ditzy Dan Kruger in this group. In the boat registry started by Lee ? I remember a picture of a long, pencil necked, string bean type of guy standing in front of a non descript motorboat. I also saw the State of Florida LLC documents referring to Dan Kruger and Margaret K. For Elite Contractor Supply. Now y'all claim your name is Jorge or similar. I'm thinking y'all gave Harry a phony name to avoid scrutiny. Believe what you want. Jorge |

DC is one of those places where most of the people living there came from somewhere else. My father was from "dust bowl" Oklahoma but my mother's side was all from somewhere in Maryland, going back to colonial times. My grandfather's people go back to the Hessians from Baltimore and Anne Arundle and my grandmother's people all came from St Mary's or Calvert county somewhere, up to ~250 years back. I just dug up a bunch of stuff for my niece down at the marina in Ridge. My mom’s people were in New Haven in the 1650’s. Virtually all of my immigrant ancestors arrived in this country from Europe between 1890 and 1920. At least one of my wife's ancestors arrived here from England in the early 1600s to explore North America. I'm not much into "ancestry," as it were, but my wife is Oldest son sent me the Ancestry DNA kit for Father's Day. Got the results back in July. No big surprises but some small ones. Results 55 percent Great Britain 18 " Ireland/Scotland/Wales 9 " Iberian Peninsula Low confidence regions... 4 percent Europe East 4 " Europe West 1 " Asia South It shows migration patterns for the colonial time period with one side of my mother's family making a wrong turn left to America but they corrected that after the ungrateful rabble bit King George's hand that had fed and protected them. ;-) I have been curious what mine would say but my guess is England Ireland Germany and a trace of American Indian. The real wild cards are on my father's side of the family because there are so many holes in the records. The people west of the Mississippi in the mid to late 19th century were not big on paperwork. Wondered about your family this morning. A Mrs. Fretwell of Danville, Ca was in the Obituary this morning. 88 years. https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/na...?pid=190192266 People with my name used to call me a lot when the ancestry.com thing was getting started and we compared notes. Nobody has my Great Great Grandfather in their list. I really think there was something nefarious going on, probably referring to the Civil War or something else around that time. That seems to be a guy who landed in Missouri from a space ship. That's interesting. I can trace my father's side, Herring, back to my great-grandfather. My grandfather was born in 1865, three miles west of Marshall, Saline County, Missouri, to a John and Lucy Allen Herring (great-grandparents). And that's it. None of the ancestry folks have been able to find out any more about them. Might be that damn space ship after all. That was a pretty wild and wooly place around the time of the Civil War. It was a place where a lot of people went to disappear. Of course during the war itself there were plenty of bad guys operating out of there, under both flags. After the war I am not surprised a lot of people's records are "incomplete", to say the least. |

Not that many people. |
