MORE FAMILY INFO FOUND ONLINE

Now I have found another section of father's family tree, this time from the Irish-Scottish branch of the family, online at

http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=PED&db=blackman-farmer&id=I253553

with the earliest date being 1640.

I know my mother was working with these people before she died. It is such an uncanny feeling to find all of these types of family files online. There is a woman listed in here, I guess a cousin of some kind, who was born on my birthday in 1656. I wonder what her life was like.

COLONY COLLAPSE DISORDER NOW SPREADING TO BATS

From NPR Yesterday, Feb. 20, 2008

We have heard about the demise of bee colonies over the last few years to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCP) but now NPR is reporting bats on the East Coast of the US are dying from the disorder. They are loosing entire colonies of bats, including rare & endangered bat colonies. It is to early to tell the cause.
