All the Isbills Ive ever noticed before were in America, usually descendants of John Miller Isbell (b. 1777), but lately Ive read online of several Isbills in the news in England. I wonder if they descend from him or if the name evolved independently to Isbill in England, too. I wonder which is rarer in England, Isbills or UFOs. http://www.lynnnews.co.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=991&ArticleID=2027409 The Lynn News (King's Lynn, Norfolk, England, UK) Feb 8, 2007 Owner (of Riverside Restaurant on King Street in King's Lynn) Miss Pat Isbill said (of the UFOs): "They were called glow lanterns and worked on the same principle as a hot air balloon. I had never seen them before. They were quite large at least two foot tall and they were very effective. "We had police permission to set them off, so we didn't cause any full-scale emergencies!" _________________________________________________________________ Talk now to your Hotmail contacts with Windows Live Messenger. http://get.live.com/messenger/overview
