Re: Murdered on the Ferry
YK, that is something. I belonged to Ancestry for a year and built up a pretty good tree for about 6 or 7 generations. I had a big framed posture made up. I need to re-join and extend it further, but it seems every time you turn around looking for records they want money. JBowen They do rope you in...

Re: My Great-Great-Great Grandfather

Re: Who is shooting a surplus rifle?
Bill, The prices are creeping up on the Yugoslavian stuff.

Re: Have I been wrong
Nope - especially since you are unloading it before getting into a vehicle or climbing over a fence. I'd much rather miss a shot at game then accidently put a round in me or a companion. Taking an extra second for safety is always worth it!
