    3. Here are the airdates I found, and yes it is available on dvd from the discovery channel, which you can find on their website. Thursday, Nov. 23 at 8:00pm Friday, Nov. 24 at 12:00am Sunday, Nov 26 at 4:00pm I believe the times are eastern standard times, so you might need to adjust for your timezone.

    1. [MFLR] Genferret's identity and agenda revealed
    2. genferret2
    3. As Scott suspected, the Genferret had an agenda. The Genferret was sent as an emissary from a galaxy unknown to you when signs of imminent catastrophe on earth were observed. The Genferret took the guise of what was deduced to be the superior species on the planet; one characterized by intellectual curiosity and a simple joy in the gift of life. Humanity was never considered, it clearly being an alien infection, some sort of intergalactic virus that was consuming its host. The Genferret did discern that there might be a mutant strain of humans worth further investigation. They seemed to come from a tiny group that for a brief time exhibited humility and gratitude in the understanding of the miracle of their existence and the glory of the earth. The mission has been deemed hopeless, and the being known to you as the Genferret is leaving earth forever now, wondering what will become of the mutants with Thanksgiving in their hearts. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sponsored Link $200,000 mortgage for $660/ mo 30/15 yr fixed, reduce debt http://yahoo.ratemarketplace.com

    1. [MFLR] Desperate Crossing: Possible error??
    2. Hi! I watched Desperate Crossing on Sunday and tried to listen for my ancestors. One of my Mayflower ancestors is Richard Warren. I thought I heard the movie say he died the first winter. However, Caleb Johnson's Mayflower site says he died in 1628. Perhaps I did not hear correctly. Did anyone else notice a mention of Mr. Warren? Also Caleb Johnson's website has an interesting article on the filming of the movie: http://www.mayflowerhistory.com/index.php He points out some errors he noticed. Carol

Or are just to embarrassed to say who they are. They can state things, but they hide behind there false names. I even sent a message to genferret. It did not have the decency to send me a e-mail back. When I started the Francis Cooke Society. I said some improper things about a national Leader.

I have the next two - Barnabas and Job as >brothers, not >as father and son. Christie - Thank-you for all the information! I had several connections to Mary Warren and Robert Bartlett, but this is the first I've heard about a Miles Standish connection. The name Barnabas Churchill and Job Churchill were used way too frequently. I have six Barnabas Churchills in my records and five Job Churchills. The two Jobs who were sons of Barnabas Churchill and Lydia Holmes were, first born 15 Jan 1751 died 14 Jan 1753, and second born 17 Aug 1756. These two Job Churchills had a brother named Barnabas who, as you pointed out, married Sarah Faunce. > >Yes, Barnabas married Sarah Faunce and yes, Job Churchill married Hannah >Turner Harlow. But as brother's they can't be father and son because of >their >relationship to Barnabas and Lydia as parents. > >The Barnabas Churchill who married Sarah Faunce was born 25 Nov. 1747 in >Plymouth, married 8 Oct. 1780 to Sarah Faunce, dau. of Thomas Faunce and >Sarah >Bartlett. Barnabas and Sarah had 3 children: Barnabas, b. 19 Oct 1784; >Job, >b. 2 Mar 1787 and Barnabas, b. 5 Feb. 1789. Both Barnabas boys die, so >that >only leaves Job eligible for marriage and having children. Barnabas >(1747) >marries a second time to Lydia Sylvester. I have no children for the >second >wife. That matches what I have. However, I question which Job Churchill married Hannah Turner Harlow. How likely is it that Job Churchill, son of Barnabas, married at age 52 and went on to have seven children? Especially since there is another Job Churchill, also son of (a different) Barnabas who was born 2 Mar 1787 and would have been 21 when he married and Hannah T Harlow was two years younger. You also have the younger Job Churchill's death in 1826, two years after the birth of Cornelius Bradford Churchill. I wonder if the birth date of the wrong Job was copied from one source to another. Churchill Family in America has the version I have, although I have found other errors in that book and I don't view it as an authority. >The Job who married Hannah Turner Harlow was born 17 Aug 1756 in Plymouth, >married 21 Dec. 1808 to Hannah and left 7 children. > >These seven are: Barnabas (1810), Job (1812), Sylvanus Harlow (1815), >Hannah Turner (1817), Sally (1819), Salley (1821) and Cornelius Bradford >(1824) > This also matches what I have, but the following is mostly new for me and VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! >This family structure was found in the following sources: > >The Genealogy Committee of the Harlow Family compilers & Alicia Crane >Wiliams, ed.

    2. There is also Popham Colony which was in Maine. They were 1607 just like Jamestown but only lasted a year. They have two very cool firsts -- one, the first English ship (built in America)was built here in 1608 (called, what else...The Virginia) and two, the John Hunt Map. The only know surviving map this early of an English colony. It has been helpful as they do their archaeological digs. The great folks of Maine are building a replica of The Virginia as we speak.

    2. Did you know that it's Beautiful Women Month? Well, it is and that means you and me !!! I'm supposed to send this to FIVE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, and you are one of them !!! Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her "beauty tips." It was read at her funeral years later. For attractive lips, speak words of kindness... For lovely eyes, seekout the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others. If you share this with another woman, something good will happen. . You will boost another woman's self esteem, and she will know that you care about her.
