  • Why is Ancestry.com so horrible with Philippine records?

    They also almost suck with other European countries that are not the UK, like Italy.

  • How do you think my ancestor got into the country?

    My ancestor was from Italy and he sold elixirs in northern Florida in the 1880s and maybe the late 1870s if I remember right. A newspaper said he was here in this country since somewhere in the second half of the 1870s. On Ancestry.com, there is no psssport information on the man coming into the U.S. Some of my family members think he came through Mexico. What do you think? And his Italian blood really shows up big on my aunt's DNA. She had her mother's side to compare it with to seperate her father's bloodline. (Elixir guy was from her father's side.)

    What do you think is the case here with my ancestor in how he came over into the country? Do you think think that there's recorded information but it didn't survive the test of time? What do you think?

  • How can you get your buried ancestor's DNA legally to trace the details in your genealogy?

    I'm doing my family tree and part of my really interesting ancestry stops at a certain point. I want to understand more.

    Somebody said you can actually dig up your ancestor. Just get all the family's permission. And I'm sure there's other stuff you obviously have to do because no one comes randomly to a graveyard and digs up a freaking person lol.

    How is this done?

    For more information, this guy was supposedly born in 1939 in Italy. He stayed in America for 7 years. He claimed he had a cure for yellow fever and a bunch of other stuff. He offered his services for free and went to one town because of a yellow fever problem and a woman and him died, but nobody got yellow fever for a long time afterwards. He died in 1883. His gravestone says he was born in Verona but that could be not remembered well by whoever said he was from there because Romeo and Juliet was incredibly popular back then. Relatives say he was from Verchille but I have to interview them about that so I can get it clear. And I'll interview them before we do anything about the DNA thing I was thinking about.

    Also, Ancestry.com puts my uncle and me to a hault.

  • What is this song?

    It says the word shooting star in one lyric line. Then at the end it repeats: this is the way, (i dont know this part), this is the way, (dont know it), etc. Those parenthesis are not backing vocals and its a rock song. It has like a Rolling Stone sound, like a rock band with that energy but you don't hear all that distorted guitar roaring through like Pete Townshend or whatever.

    The singer is a male. Also when they sing this is the way, it sounds like the other band members shouting in, no harmony though when they shout it. And there's a little piano riff that comes after each time they shout that part.

  • Who are the Bakers?

    Don Rickles was on Letterman's NBC show, Late Night with David Letterman, (CBS was Late SHOW with David Letterman). Here's the dialogue. I think this was in 1987:

    Letterman: Anything you want to say about what's going on? The Iran hearings? The Bakers? Gary Hart?

    Rickles: No. Unfortunately the Bakers had a problem. They believed God would cover for them.

    Letterman: Uh huh? [laughing]

    Rickles: And of course-

    Letterman: Don't you think they'll be back with a vengeance? They'll be bigger than ever?

    Rickles: [Laughs] Well if they are, the Almighty is going to be sitting there going, "How did they get back?!"

  • How bad was life on the artillery line of World War 1?

    I believe the Germans had the upper hand when it came to this stuff mainly due to Artillery Colonel Georg Bruchmuller. He had the idea to bombard the enemy artillery lines which was a revolutionary idea apparently. I think records show this losses at the British artillery line were more greater than on the German artillery line due to his idea.

    But was being in the artillery line a walk in the park? (Despite the shell attacks against the British artillery line.) I know they would have had to inhale lots of smoke. Plus things were not the greatest quality so maybe things malfunctioned and killed people? World War 1 seemed miserable everywhere anyone went but no one talks about the artillery line. Not saying that they were playing kickball like things were easy and happy.

  • What was the life of an acoustic blues guitarist back in the first quarter of the 20th century?

    I'm talking about musicians like Blind Blake, Blind Willie McTell, Bo Carter, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Reverend Gary Davis. Like did they have radio play? How popular were they back then? We're they almost like an underground kind of music? What was it like?

    They also seemed to be like a traveling show.

  • Why do Capricorns hate new ideas?

    Something strange I've noticed. You introduce him to something and he hesitates. It's very hard for him to accept a new idea. What the hell is up with that? And they always strongly believe in something, even the smallest thing, and they hate it when somebody comes in and introduces something better.

  • What Uriah Heep album should I listen to?

    Give me your best one. I'm also a guitar player so anything cool sounding from Mick Box is alright too. I also treasure the songs more than guitar playing. So you can give me two if you'd like. In fact, give me as much as you want but tell me what to listen to first

  • Is the guitar synth Roland GR-55 really worth it?

    I heard it runs on batteries. That sounds like it won't last a long time at all XD. Are there alternatives to this synth? I also wonder if I can replace the pickups in my G&L to make it sound like a Stratocaster. The ceramic clean pickup sound really annoys me and I feel it's too Fender-sparkly like. I remember I would always fight the sound on my G&L.

  • How can I clean my coins?

    I don't want to use anything that may chip or destroy a dime's front or whatever. I'm not in for destroying money. There are these techniques people use with vinegar, ammonia, bleach, and stuff that I don't know about. I never studied chemistry btw. (Don't ask.) These are just coins that were in a money jar and got dirty with everything else. I don't care if there's dirty stains or whatever, as long as they are not too dirty to handle. I heard throwing them in a dish washer or washing machines works like a champ but idk. I'm not finding too many web pages on Google talking about that.

  • Your thoughts on Star Wars Battlefront 3, and anything else regarding Star Wars?

    Tell me if any of you agree on this. This is going to be a little rant. Bare with me too, I go off on tangents a lot XD.

    I hate that they ignored the Clone Wars completely, or maybe just before the clone wars with Naboo and the Trade Federation. And btw, with the Clone Wars, I don't mean the Cartoon Network Clone Wars. I mean, bless the person who tried to reach out to kids and he truly is a blessing for that, but the Clone Wars in the actual Star Wars universe seemed to be overrun by the show, written write over and I felt there were some kickass things in the comics. I was never a comic collector but they sure made an awesome fantasy. I mean, Jabiim?? How awesome was that s*hit?? Look at that. Badass, and those Nimbus Commandos couldn't have looked more awesome. Going back on the Clone Wars, the television show screwed up how tense the fights really were, but hey, at least the guy tried hard. (I also hated it because my favorite side was the CIS XD.)

    I think that was a huge mistake that Battlefront made, leaving out that era but we never saw the movie that's about to come out so, we'll have to wait and see.

    I hope Boba is in the movie by the way and it brought justice lol. I personally enjoyed how he looked in those Knights of the Force gameplays on YouTube, how he just flew around awesomely while shooting, also Jango as well. Jango took down Jedis by the way in a conflict with his fellow Mandalorians.

  • Did NBC limit David Letterman's potential?

    I noticed that David Letterman at the beginning of his Late Night show was given almost nothing to work with. No help from NBC, and this includes Carson at times. It also seemed to be kept that way even during his Late Show days. It could have been better but he did his best. Was it a greed thing going on? That seems to be what could possibly explain it.
