That's the best answer yet. I'm changing mine. What an opportunity to break down my biggest brick wall. Brilliant. Oh boy, am I stuffed. Aargh! <<If I could talk to him for one day he would be able to finally settle the search for his parents that I started on more than 18 years ago. Nancy Colby Shockey>>
Ron, I would invite my great great Grandfather, Smith Colby to Thanksgiving dinner so I could ask him who his parents were and what happened to his first wife and 3 of their children. If I could talk to him for one day he would be able to finally settle the search for his parents that I started on more than 18 years ago. Nancy Colby Shockey Wouldn't that be a wonderful Blessing!!!

My father, Keith V. Colby. . . .It was my dream to find and meet him prior to his death and although we came close a couple of times, it did not happen. He passed away in 1991. He would be my choice to have come to dinner.

Hi Todd! Yes, you are working on those questions for Spencer. How's it going? I would LOVE to time travel back and interview all of my (english-speaking) ancestors. Wow, would that be fun. Kate
Interesting. The three replies so far are from Mayflower descendants. I wonder how many of us we'll find. But don't be shy if you don't have/haven't yet found your Mayflower. Whom would you invite to your feast? Kate
Thanksgiving table....Great, great grandfather Spencer Colby.... "Why did you leave Moose River, Maine? What was your route to Grand Rapids? Why'd you leave there for Nebraska? And tell me about the Civil War!" Todd R. Nelson toddnelson@hughes.net
Ah yes, Cindy, and I watched "Desperate Voyage: The Mayflower" on the History Channel a couple days ago--Those Billington boys were a handful! Did you inherit that wild streak? Happy Day, Kate
LOL not really... lol But it makes for great conversation! When my daughter was in 1st grade they were talking about Thanksgiving and the Mayflower, etc... I had my brother (who did that side of the family) give me the lineage back to Billington. she went to school and told about the billingtons - they also has a small write up in a childrens book about the Mayflower. For the next 4 years, that same teacher asked her to come down and talk to the 1st grade class about the Mayflower and the Billingotns.. lol Happy Thanksgiving!!!! Cindy Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. ~ Maria Robinson "You're probably going to lose a lot of games the next few years. And my advice to you is when you lose, don't make excuses, don't blame your coaches or teammates or the officials. Just play every day as hard as you can. And regardless of what the outcome of those games are, you keep your head high. Because if you're doing everything you can to the best of your ability, you have nothing-nothing- to be embarrassed about" Lloyd Carr In a message dated 11/26/2009 2:40:12 P.M.
