That wasn't intended in a sarcastic way. I would like to know what you know of them, being from the UK they didnt really go to much into American
History if at all. Briefly touched upon egyptians, greek empire and roman empire - the rest was English History. Anyway, i grew up in a town where the
Pilgrims departed. There is a granit memorial in the park opposite the church and a Bluestone which is currently situated in a pub carpark. The
Memorial was even on our school emblem and something in latin to (school moto). I know that they sailed from that town in the Mayflower and that they
went to America but that about it. Sorry if that sound ignorant but i really dont know too much and thought you could shed your version of what
happened there. This is the best link i could find on the town, there's probably others but i couldn't find anything.

I couldn't find anything on the bluestone in the car park except for a brief mention on a website that said it is Blue Gneiss rock that arrived in
the last iceage and is millions of years old - guess its not connected to the Pilgrims then,ha,ha. Anyway i would love to hear things from another
perspectice

Did any of you that have the pilgrims as ancestors have roots in lincolnshire. Do you know where, did they leave any family behind? To be honest i
thought they were quakers or something, still could be for all i know, hopeyou can help.

Ummm, no one care to share?
|
No Takers at all, slightly disapointed but optermistic someone may still reply to my query?
|
I'm not feeling too optermistic - this thread is now officially an epic failure and now belongs to this thread:

Thankyou, not a total failure ;o) Thankyou for the links.
These names are all street names in the town i grew up: Bradford, Brewster, Cushman, Standish, and Carver.
I do feel that the orginal intentions are still yet to be realised. I cannot agree with the biggot remark as it is gereralizing people, but i do see
where you come from. The think is with the UK, you can change the rulers, but you do not change the people. I think british people are loyal to their
country and its people and not to their rulers, i would like to say the same with America but i the impression that America needs to feel guided by
their leaders or inspired even. In my opinion, the goverment is there to represent the public, and protect the intrests of the country and its
citizens. If there is somethhing the Majority of the general public feel strongly about then our voice is usually heard.
