What is the degree of cousinship between fourth-generation and eighth-generation descendants of a common ancestor?

For some reason mine seems to have gone on vacation at an inopportune time . . .

Does this have any significance apart from the obvious one that she thinks it's time for me to get up? I've had many feline companions over the years, but in my experience, this is a first.

She's also particular about the area she licks; it's always the hair above and on my temples.

I was the home person, and now I can't even access my own tree.

This occurred near Greencastle, PA, during Pontiac's War.

I know that at least one child was on one of the planes, but my husband said there were daycare centers in the WTC. I was just wondering how many children, if any, were casualties in the Twin Towers.

how pirate flags (the traditional skull and crossbones) came to be referred to as the Jolly Roger? I mean, skulls seem to be smiling, but why Roger? Why not Jack, or Sam, or some other name?

I heard a former brother-in-law of mine to refer to it in passing as part of naval (US) tradition, but I never got the chance to get a more detailed explanation, if, indeed, there is any.

that has a very long name, incorporating "ichthy," from Greek for fish, and "meth," referring to methane gas. Apparently it is the cause of a very peculiar, and unpleasant, body odor. Does anyone know what the name of it is?

I know that dairymaids were usually exposed to the virus early on in their careers, and that this exposure immunized them from smallpox, but could this virus also be transmitted from the dairymaids to their families and friends?

The death toll there has reached 150+, but fatalities in other countries haven't been reported, apart from the poor little boy who was visiting in Houston. I was wondering if anyone has any theories or even wild guesses as to why this is happening.

my problem is that they want my old credit card # before I can change it to my new one. The old one was compromised, along with a number of others, at a clearing house and my financial institution issued a new card. The old one was destroyed and I can't remember the number. How can I change the billing information?

I'd like to know what the details are and why Grasslick Road is supposedly haunted.

When I try to send, I keep getting a message that won't allow it to either be sent or even saved to Drafts. I can, however, send on Yahoo Mail Classic. What gives?

concerning an alleged massacre at a schoolhouse during either the French and Indian War or possibly the Revolutionary War. I recall reading a sniglet about it back around 1976, in a several-page ad put in Reader's Digest by the Pennsylvania Historical Commission (I think), hyping Pennsylvania's role in history.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I was wondering what the 'wime' is--the folk song is from Scotland, so I'm pretty sure it's dialect.

if there way a pay disparity between black soldiers and white soldiers in the US during this war?
