It all happened in Texas back in '89.

From what I've been told by my parents, the children were removed from their parents' home by CPS due to child abuse and neglect. Their mother, my dad's sister, and father fled the country and did no attempt in recovering their 3 children. My parents couldn't attain not even temporary custody because apparently they had to be married in order to do so. My uncle, my dads' brother, couldn't either for the same reason.

I assume the 3 children were adopted out. I have very little information about them. All I have is a shot record for each of them that show first and last name and DOB.

with that exact spelling.
By contrast they have over 150,000 for "Pack", which I know is uncommon, and over 28,000,000 for "Smith". So, it is really rare, OR it was spelled differently in the old country.

From that, I'd guess it was German/Swiss and a lot of them came to the US of A. As a side note, looking at the states they went to, they didn't want to suffer from chiggers or grits. One of them may be your great grandfather.

The proper term is "national origin" or "heritage", since "Nationality" means "citizenship", and a Australian Dennler would have an Australian passport, be an Australian and eat kangaroo steak every month, while a Canadian would carry a Canadian passport, be a Canadian and drink a lot of Moose Head beer.

We know what you mean, though. People make that mistake all the time here.

Well.. his parents are listed here. It does not trace his full genealogy, which you are welcome to try, if interested. I see nothing here about "distant roots" in Italy, so in genealogical terms, we have no clue if this is even a fact or just some rumor.
Have fun. And, if you want to do genealogy... step one is learning "if not proven, it is not a fact"

I posted the question incorrectly: This first comment is really my question:

If I have .TIFF files that contain more than one image (or JPEG files for that matter) in the same file, how would that show up when I upload onto my ancestry.com online family tree?

I've been scanning photos that have dates on the back of the photo, so I've made one file with a front image, and then a back image, all saved under the same file (one file name). When I view it in windows photo viewer it opens one file with 2 pages. It's an option available on my scanner.

How would this work in ancestry.com online family tree? Which image would show up? Am I better off just scanning the front image as it's own file (I also use rootsmagic as my computer database software and haven't tested in that system yet, either)?

I was just trying to scan them together in same file to ease my organization, and to make 'accidental seperation' of the front and back images of same picture (from deletion or some other reason) a non-issue.

Thanks!

The convention is that you are half of what each parent was, and each parent is half of what their parents were. So yes, you are 1/2 or 50% each if your father and mother were those.

Part of that convention is that where you are born doesn't count. So, if your dad's family was anything from Albanian to Zulu, but stayed in Germany for 10, 20, 30 ... years because his grandfather was in business there, he is still Albanian or Zulu or whatever.

Finally, you add common heritages. You don't have any, but someone may read this afterward. If, for instance, your 4 grandparents were Dutch, Dutch, English and French, you are 1/4 each, but you add the two Dutch for 1/2.

Children's book with pastel colored dinosaurs and eggs?

Okay this is kinda crazy but this is a book I read as a child and it's annoying me that I can't find the title on Google or anything. The book had colorful dinosaurs and eggs. There was a pile of eggs I think they found. This may not be part of it but I think they may have came from the sky but I'm not so sure on that part. They had a nursery or something and I think it used to be run down but now it was up and running for all the new baby dinosaurs. I feel like an older dinosaur was telling the younger dinosaurs of a time when they thought they would never see eggs again but then it was like miracle when they found them. And I remember like a young dinosaur reading to the baby ones. Idk. This isn't much to go off of I know but maybe someone recognizes it! I was born in 96 so I'm guessing the latest it could be written is 2002 but I have older sibling so it could be a hand me down so 1980s to 2000s. I really home someone is familiar with this book! Haha. Thank you!
Oh and this book wasn't too long. It had a lot of pictures and not too much text so it was for a younger child

Try writing a story in a different style, like a diary entry or something. I read this book in high school called Guitar Highway Rose, in which the storyline wasn't actually all that interesting. All the characters were pretty much going about their lives. But what made the book so likeable was it was written in various characters POV's and each was written in a different style to better suit the characters mindset.

So, since its just a project for yourself, you could try something like that to get used to trying different writing styles, whilst making a story out of the experiment of trying to get inside someone else's head and think the way they might think.

Check out the book preview in the link to see what I mean.

I self-published my kindle book about a year ago and haven't been paying much attention to it (due to college and personal things). I know I have an original masterpiece (I'm pretty confident) unfortunately, I don't have the experience in marketing and related fields to get my book "out there."

I was wondering if there were any people interested or even some websites specifically for authors that wish to partner up and share profits etc...?

Thank you

The only part of your question I can see is:
"I have been trying to watch movies that follow the story of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I have seen the Pride and Prejudice tv version and movie version. I have seen Bride"

then it ends up abruptly after Bride. Is that how it looks to you too? It feels like there was supposed to be more to the question, but it got cut off. I know of several movies like Pride and Prejudice, and I'll tell you about them. But first I want to find out what's going on here.

So I'm a huge fan of poetry, my boyfriend isn't, and I firmly believe that there is a piece of poetry out there that suits everyone's personality and taste in literature.
I suggested a few things which he didn't like, they included romance, and descriptions of scenery, both modern and ancient, I even recommended The Raven hoping he'd like that musical gothic vibe but he didn't get it, and I felt it was gonna be too annoying if I tried to explain it to him
I really want to give him something that will grab him at the first read,

I think his issue with poetry being that it's too "twee", so maybe a poem that hits hard and not something that is too beautiful and twee? something painful? political? social? saddening? disturbing? realistic? something about insecurities? grief? a gripping story told in verse?
he likes to read about politics, history and talks about insecurities often and how close he is with his friends especially the guys

something that isn't awfully long and still not very difficult to understand because for someone who isn't a fan of poetry they really wouldn't both rereading the thing if they don't get it, like a poetry fan would

thanks! welcoming any suggestions!!

I wrote a poem about destiny. I'd like to hear your advice, comments, corrections. I'm not a fluent english speaker. I just wrote what i feel. Thanks

Your Destiny

Out of nowhere he'll come,
Into your life someday,
No matter where you are,
To you he'll find his way.

He'll open up your eyes,
To things you've never seen,
Making you realize,
How things were meant to be,

Whether it rains or shines,
He'll be right there for you
Blowing the storm away
To end up all your blues

He 'll sweep you off your feet,
You'll fall head over heels,
Making you understand,
How true love really feels

For no reason you'll smile
Unconsciously you'll sing
For happiness like this,
No dream will ever bring

At the right time he'll come,
Into your life you'll see,
For love will find a way
To meet your destiny!

It doesn't, really. It wasn't written by a native American, either. THIS is a poem written by a native American, about our struggles. See the difference?

Want to know what some of the problems with it are? It implies that Indians only live in the forest, as hunters, for one thing. Our people were actually mostly farmers. So the "golden fields of corn" were really OURS. ( we taught agriculture to Europeans, and gave them crops like corn, which WE developed.) Second, it compares Indians to animals.

about 17th century poetry?

Consider some of the political, religious, and cultural conflicts in the first half of the 17th century and speculate on how these conditions might have affected the poetry of this time period?

Need sexy/arrogant song for musical audition?

I'm auditioning for Morticia from the Addams Family, and I need a song to audition with. Morticia is calm, cool, and collected; but also very morbid, dark, and EXTREMLEY sexy. she thinks very highly of herself (ie world revolves around her, everyone is dying to hear her talk about herself). What I need is an audition song that conveys these characteristics, but mainly what I am looking for is a smooth, sexy song about being selfish or arrogant or something. Any and all suggestions are welcome, thank you :)

I never watch drivel like that - but according to Wikipedia, it's reality TV.
That means they take real teenage mothers, film them and their families, and make them look as ignorant and pathetic as possible for public entertainment.

And you really want to look stupid, immature and selfish on national television?

Anyway - they want real teenage mothers - not kids with little sisters, pretending.

Talent is necessary if you want to be an actor or other performer.
But without the hard work it takes to get real training and experience, so you know how to use that talent, you'd get nowhere.

When people think that success will just happen, because they have talent in some area, they're just kidding themselves. It takes years of training, experience, dedication, resilience, determination, intelligence and extremely hard work.

As for success - that depends on your definition of the word. In the acting world, success is getting more than 2 or 3 weeks' paid acting work in a year. That's the average for fully-trained, experienced actors.

If you mean fame, money, recognition - that's largely a matter of luck.

I'm going to include a few where there are significant female characters that aren't exactly the star.

Cabaret
Tanz der Vampire (in German, Hungarian, Flemish, Russian, Japanese, Polish, Finnish, or French. There may be some I'm missing. The only English-language production was very unsuccessful for several reasons, but one of the biggest reasons was that Michael Crawford didn't want to play another dark and romantic character so there were some revisions to the script and his portrayal of Krolock was very cheesy with an over-the-top accent)
Bonnie and Clyde
Spring Awakening
West Side Story
Rebecca (In German, Japanese, Hungarian, Finnish, and Korean. There was supposed to be a Broadway production opening, but there was a big scandal with a fake investor that halted things a lot. That has all been cleared up and the fake investor has been arrested and there are plans to try and get the show to Broadway soon)
Romeo et Juliette (in French, Hungarian, German, Japanese, Dutch, Russian, Spanish, Italian, and maybe others that I don't know of. There was also an unsuccessful English-language production in London)
Avenue Q (Sort of. Kate Monster is 22-30 according to stageagent.com)
The Rocky Horror Show (Janet is usually 20-27 and in some productions the actress playing Columbia is around the same age and understudies the role of Janet)
South Pacific has several characters in that age range
The Addams Family
Into the Woods
Anything Goes
Grease
Hair
Hairspray
Next to Normal

I do not have the type of body to become a classical ballet dancer yet it is one of my passions. How to keep dance in my life when I'm older?
I'm looking for semi-professional dance careers, possible teaching careers, anything where I'm performing dance.
I'm 14 yrs old and looking to further my dream. I am proficient at ballet and have done dance off and on and different types for 5 yrs total.
Thanks.

Too late to become a rockette? 14 yrs old.?

*I am adding as much information as possible to make myself clear, and I need information specific to me, so please read it all*
I am currently fourteen years old and starting high school. I have taken two years of ballet, two years of hip hop, and one year when I was much younger of tap dance in previous years. I go to a professional dance studio(best in my town) and this year I am taking ballet class at my age level, and my teacher recommended me for starting pointe. Also this year I will start jazz and tap. I have been in 5 dance performances total in my life. I want to become a rockette if possible but I know how competitive and hard it is to get in. I don't have a "ballet" body (my boobs are too big and my torso is too long) but otherwise I'm very fit and slender, and I meet the height requirement for rockettes. I'm proficient in ballet and other dance as well. Is there any chance for me at all if I work very hard the next four/five years, join the competition team at my studio, and do anything I can to join that I can become a rockette? I am willing to work so hard and devote my spare time to dance. I have a passion for dance and I can't imagine a future that doesn't include it.
So, if you would, please answer my original question. If you have any tips for other things I can do to become a rockette please tell me them. Also if there are other careers similar to being a rockette (or maybe a similar dance group that is less competitive?)
Thank you very much!

How to wrap my knee for drill team?

Hello! So I am a dancer and I have a dance/drill team intensive starting tomorrow and goes on for 4 days. I recently hurt my knee and have been icing it and using traumeel but I was wondering what is a good way to wrap it for while I'm dancing? I wasn't sure if I should use my brace or an ace bandage. The kind of things we will we doing is high kick, jazz, pom, etc. so lots of high energy. Thank you!

Every year at my school for spirit week we have a massive lip sync competition. We can only use one song and we have to tell some sort of story with it. It has to be school appropriate and if the story could be related to school that'd be great. Some stories that people have done in the past were homecoming, getting ready for college, standardized tests, learning to drive etc. we need a fun and upbeat song that's easy to dance to and school appropriate! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I been writing for a total of fourteen years of my life, and I still think that i need a lot of work to do. I'm going to focus on increasing my diction, expanding my vocabulary to become more sophisticated. I have written a shorter version of the poem. And I just want some feed back on how i can improve and make things a lot better. Thanks

The title is: I Thought I'd Never Get Over You

I'm looking up at the sky, thinking about our memories--
And all the good times, and the bad; I remember...
When I really blew it hard to the core, beyond recover
After that I never saw you ever again.

Maybe months, a couple of years, I will forget about you.

Thank you. A thought from the past...

I thought you were my all -
my everything, it's true.
I thought I found the best in me
when I discovered you.
Submersed within sun's golden gleam,
I saw each ray shine through,
but as I reached the highest heights,
I shivered at the view.

@afdaef is clueless. "1984" is not "sci fi"; and there is sci fi poetry; in fact there are whole magazines devoted to sci fi poetry.

I doubt that there are any "nice" poems that are similar to the novel "1984," though. It's not a "nice" story. It's not supposed to be "nice."

You could look at "The Unknown Citizen" by W.H. Auden, though. It's somewhat on point.

The sun will rise again tomorrow
Regardless of our sorrow
For one who left too young,
And left a many song unsung

But we can hear him up above
When we listen to God's undying love
Who holds him close within His arms
And keeps him safe away from harm

You simply have to carry on with your life.

Fear is actually one of the worst thought-patterns you can allow into your mind.

I was nearly killed in cold blood by some drug-crazed maniac about eight years ago. That put me into 'fear mode'. I have managed to get over that and be comfortable walking around outside again.

From your description, he sounds like a homeless old man, probably an alcoholic or drug addict. Don't worry about (or even think about) him. Get on with *your* life. :)

~~~~~~
Perhaps get a can of mace so that if someone approaches you and is intimidating you, well, you spray them with the mace.

If your life is in danger, that would just be an act of self-defense.

Maybe you should get a book on Chinese, or Japanese, or some other Asian culture's drama and read it and find out. Wouldn't that be smarter than asking random strangers to give you answers that may or may not be correct (and that won't have any sources or footnotes, so you can't even tell whether they are correct)?

Stop being stupid. Learn to do simple research like a grown-up.

Elevators, while being touted as being extremely safe, can fail. The odds of a failure is small, however, the odds go out the window if you are in the elevator when it fails. While they have safety measures to prevent them falling from upper floors to the basement, it is more likely that the elevator might become lodged between floors due to mechanical failure or a power failure and one is trapped in the elevator until rescued.

As far as stairs, the elderly are more afraid of those. Old joints don't work as well as young ones. Also, balance can be effected by age. The elderly are afraid to fall. Especially down stairs because old bones are quick to break and slow to heal. A broken hip on a person over the age of eighty can be a death sentence.

Hope I helped.

I've been drawing since before I can remember, but my passion has dwindled with the number of friends I've lost over the years...the loss of a family member was an extremely hard blow...I rarely draw now and when I fight with my significant other, I cant even lift a pencil. I now wonder if I was actually ever an artist to begin with since it has always been the people I cared about that gave me inspiration and not just something as simple as say..a tree or something like that. Even music gives me no inspiration anymore. I'm nearly a senior in high school and am already doubting something I'm very skilled at for my age. What can I do to make myself feel the need to create beautiful art again?

I doubt anyone will answer this..but I don't know where else to go for answers since my own family never listens to me...Can someone, anyone, help me find a reason to continue working on something I love?

What are some interesting art topics i can discuss with someone who was minimal knowledge of art?

So my gf and i are going to an art show today, its just a regular art show with no specific theme or style. I have a fair deal of knowledge about art, but my girlfriend has minimal knowledge. What are some topics i can discuss with her without being condescending or boring?

How to I feel passionate about the activities that interest me?

Dancing and drawing always interested me. But these days I feel resistance when I try to do it. It's like, whenever there's a picture that pops in my mind and when I try to execute it in a drawing book, I just fail in it. I end up drawing some crap and then close it. Same with dance. I picture some steps in my mind and again fail to execute it. This is my everyday routine. I do feel passionate about dancing and drawing but I don't know what is that I am lacking, that brings failure in it. Sometimes, I doubt whether I am enough passionate about it. How can bring back the fire of passion for these activities back into my life?
Thanks

Why is dying alone considered to be such a bad fate........?

In the society we live in, if a man never asks a woman out people will he will die alone. Why is that such a bad thing? Relationships aren't for everyone. I don't ask women out and I don't expect them to ask me out. To be honest, I just don't care at all. I've had women interested in me but I didn't care at all. I don't know why but I just don't. Maybe I'm sort of selfish who knows. I do have friends though. So what if a guy doesn't ask a woman out in his lifetime. Why is dying alone without a spouse such a bad fate? We all die alone....

Harder because you have to worry about bills, work and family.

I guess if you have a good job then it's easier because you enjoy what you do but it's alot harder being an adult than a child or a teenager.

Feeling like the third wheel lately. What should I do?

My best friend is a boy & he usually asks me to hang out with him & his girl. We sometimes go drinking in his house or we go to the park or to some other places ect. He met this girl like 3 in a half months ago. I didn't think that they'd still be together for this long, especially since he's the player type. I'm really starting to feel that I shouldn't always be hanging out with them all the time. It feels so awkward at times because my friend grabs his girl & starts kissing her in front of me. I'm glad he's happy & that he's doing his thing, but I just rather not be around if I'm going to feel like the third wheel. Me & my friend have another close friend, but he rarely hangs out with me, my best friend, & his girl. My friend's girlfriend is really cool & street smart. Me & her get along so well & we share a lot in common, since we have the same ethnicity background. Its funny because that's when my friend feels left out. Me & my friend are both Hispanic, but instead he doesn't know Spanish, but kind of understands it. I really respect that I have a friend that doesn't act all like he forgot all his closest friends just because he has a girl friend, but I feel so weird being the third-wheel. I kind of feel like telling him that I don't feel comfortable being around them all the time unless an extra person is being with us. I feel like they need their space even though they want to be around me, but I need to limit myself. What should I do?

I essentially have everything going for me
Looks(not to sound into myself), I'm young 20, am in an amazing relationship, making ok money, lots to look forward too...
But I just can't seem to relax and be happy.
I am self conscious of everything I do and say. And my body.
It is really hard.

What should I do?

I need a spell book name that sounds similar to the Hexoren, without actually taking the name.

If anyone could give me some magical sounding names for a spell book, that sound similar to the Hexoren that would be greatly appriciated.

So far, all I can come up with on my own is either the Hexilen/Hexolen, or the Hexsin. Please help.. and please do not give me any stupid answers like the Hexclopdia or some **** like that.

Need help finding out book title please?

There was this really good book series that I used to read but then I got caught up in other things but I really want to start reading the series again. It has been a few years so I don't remember much but I remember that at the start the main character is on a really old train that is venturing over a river or canyon or something. Then the train crashes and opens a portal to the ghost world or whatever its called. Then the ghost of some guy takes over the body of his brother and there is also some evil ghost that takes over the body of another person. Then the main character and the ghost that took over his brothers body have to go hunt down the evil ghost. I wish I could say more but I really don't remember that much. Any help would be appreciated.

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer is the first in a series of amazing books that cover everything from action and werewolves to romance... and the main character, Calla, is an alpha (which is essentially like being a princess, I guess).

I'd also recommend Kissed by an Angel by Elizabeth Chandler- it's a long book, but don't let this put you off, I couldn't put it down until I had finished it.

...and finally, Angelfall by Susan Ee.
All these books have a strong, female lead, action, and romance intertwined. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Nexus sounds good and Hallows sounds evil.

I'd imagine a girl with the name Ellowyn to be your typical good girl. Brown hair; glasses; curvy but not overweight.

Mortal instruments series by Cassandra Clare the first book city of bones had a movie recently :D quite a good read for a New York best seller. Supernatural fantasy romance

Infernal Devices - Cassandra Clare (though this is recent but takes place during the Victorian age its pretty easy to get into because they somewhat talk or act in the modern age) - supernatural/fantasy/romance

I'd also recommend Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead (another awesome read with a movie adaptation)

Ghost Huntress Series - Gibson, teen fiction with mystery

House of night - pc cast. Its a collab of a daughter and mother about a diffrent kind of vampire series

These books are totally suited for girls your age and up and definitely worthwhile and addictive to read and its a series too!

There are many possible points, but one big one is learning what girls are like and how to manage in a relationship. No, the two main points are what girls are like and how to manage, and also what you like and can't tolerate in a girl. The three main points are what girls are like, what you like in girls and how to handle a relationship and having fun. No, the four main points are .. wait, I'll come in again.

I think everyone learns how to live, over time, with their circumstanceS. Of course no ones life will ever be perfect and there will always be things that are out of our hands. That doesn't mean we are mearly existing, yes, we breathe in air, we eat.. but we also think, we smile, we cry, we feel.. that's not merely existing, but that is living. We can't meassure what is a good life and what is a bad life.. it's what we ourselves make out of it, we are the painters, we color our life the way we best can. We use the instruments we are given and we try to improve ourselves.

I don't think there is one soul on the whole world without any fear at all.. If you have a kid f.e. their health will always be on your mind, or your family.. those are things we have no control over.

Living, for me.. is experiencing the world, in your own way. Grow, learn, fall down.. but get up and keep going.

Their are two basic states of sleep, REM and NREM (rapid-eye movement + non-rapid eye movement) when you sleep you progress through the 4 stages of sleep for these states. the different stages of sleep is based upon your brain waves. The first stage of sleep is when the brain has a high amplitude of Theta waves. This stage is the stage between sleep an wakefulness when sleep is at its lightest. we progress through these stages but no necessarily in the same order, so when u are waking up, your brain has come background to stage 1 of sleep.

Some people are like me. I like everything to be "regular". Meat and potatoes or Vanilla/Chocolate ice cream. Basic things. So I am rarely disappointed.

People who like a wider range of things are more often disappointed.

You are indenturing a kind of slavery telling him that THEY have a responsibility to maintain their happiness and thier life...blah blah....BS.

Meds and self help are FAIL and where are the HUGE AMOUNT of testimonials proving its success anywhere.

While something like euthanasia is viewed as the wrong thing.

This is a suicide-inducing culture that brutally bends human psychology that is sensitive/weaker to jump off the cliff sooner so that people dont waste time with it. I CAN FEEL IT YOU EVIL SCUM! Eugenics, hedonism, and immortality is your answer.....so you deserve hell. You sacrifice other living things in the name of your ego so.....yeah....

The only ego i have left is the one thing that wants to know the truth and have a way for people like me to be at eternal rest.
