Recently, it seems as if there has been a deluge of despairing
and disheartening news: from a court-ordered death sentence for
Terri Schiavo, to the mourning in Florida of the little girl who
was kidnapped and murdered, to the shooting rampage in Minnesota.
Events have reminded us that we live in a troubled world that is
groping for answers. Fortunately, as Christians we find the answer
not in the death of Christ on the cross alone, but in the empty
tomb that He left behind... Any human being, no matter how despicable,
has certain rights - especially in the U.S. court system. However,
these same rights are being denied to the innocent Terri Schiavo?
U.S. District Judge James Whittemore has refused to have Terri Schiavo's
feeding tube reinstated while her parents pursue the federal appeal
Congress has granted them. There is compelling evidence that key
facts of Terri's case have been ignored by the judicial system.

A KICKSTART IN YOUR GENEALOGY RESEARCH. FIND TONS OF DATA
ABOUT YOUR SURNAME. The purpose of GenealogyBuff.com is to hopefully
inspire new family researchers. By providing a means to gather a
large amount of data for a surname, one can build a family tree
very quickly. (Hint: start with yourself, work backwards, using
the census records. Then build using the many databases referenced
from this site.) Hundreds of data sources can be scanned using the
surname tool above, including county marriages, county deaths, state
and federal census records, immigration records, obituaries, etc.
Genealogy is a noble hobby and extremely rewarding! Think of it
as a never-ending jigsaw puzzle. The best of success in your family
research endeavors! - REVIEWS
