What fun it was to read the weasel's comments and observations. I had to laugh. Thanks for the levity. We all need it this time of year. And thanks for digging into the background for the term America and ferreting out the details. I asked the question in the past about Jamestown and never got a satisfactory answer. But from the list, it looks like Jamestown is going to do it up big for its 400th birthday in 2007. Happy Birthday, Jamestown. Now to move on to Tucson as the oldest continuously inhabited city - displacing St. Augustine in Florida when archeologist found remnants of building structures in the old part of town. But that's for another list and not this one, so I'll get back to Mayflower research and posting more questions for the weasel to answer! Everyone - have a great Thanksgiving. Since someone indicated that the movie was going to be aired on Thanksgiving. I'll check it out here in SF and perhaps this time I'll actually watch it without being distracted by genealogy!
