Pat or anyone, Just wondering what the difference is between the CD info and the website? How does the BLM website supplement the CD? Thanks.

This IS the feeling of MANY Americans!! Story in Tampa Newspaper Will we still be the Country of choice and still be America if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that came to live in America because it is the Country of Choice?????? Think about it . . All I have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS? I celebrate Christmas, but because it isn't celebrated by everyone, we can no longer say Merry Christmas. Now it has to be Season's Greetings. It's not Christmas vacation, it's Winter Break. Isn't it amazing how this winter break ALWAYS occurs over the Christmas holiday? We've gone so far the other way, bent over backwards to not offend anyone, that I am now being offended. But it seems that no one has a problem with that. This says it all! This is an editorial written by an American citizen, published in a Tampa newspaper He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please! IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct! " crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of America being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! "In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan.. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so! But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE. It is Time for America to Speak up If you agree -- pass this along; if you don't agree -- delete it! AMEN I figure if we all keep passing this to our friends (and enemies) it will also, sooner or later get back to the complainers, lets all try, please.

Hello Karen and Greetings from John McRae in Bradenton, FL The listing of old time occupations by Dan Burrows is great. I was unsuccessful in sending an e-mail to him at the address in your message. It was returned with the familiar reason - "address unknown". Do you have another? I want to ask permission to use his list at our Manasota Genealogical Society here in Bradenton. Also, I enjoy my subscription to the MI-GENEALOGY-L@rootsweb.com news letter site. I am interested in Michigan genealogy as my grandfather's family, McRae and Smith emigrated from Scotland, Isle of Lewis to Quebec and then to Harriville in Alcona County. Lines I am interested in are McRae, Smith, Morrison and Nicholson all living in Alcona county 1880 to 1980's.

Thanks, Concetta. Kay Hi! I have in my list the earliest city directory for Pontiac as 1911 (Although this might not be right...) Royal Oak is more than likely included in the Detroit and surrounding area books that started in the late 1800s. Familysearch.org would more than likely have them on film if you look up Royal Oak or Pontiac (leave off the county and it pops up in their list of search terms). Concetta
