A professional genealogical researcher has discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing & train robbery in Montana in 1889.

The only know photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is the inscription: 'Remus Rodham, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison, 1885; escaped 1887; robbed the Montana Flyer six times; captured by Pinkerton detectives; convicted & hanged in 1889'.

Hillary Clinton was asked to comment. Hillary's staff of professional image adjusters sent back by E-Mail the following biographical sketch:

'Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets & intimate dealings with the Montana railroad.

Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to the service of the government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad.

In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honour when the platform, upon which he was standing, collapsed.

May he rest in peace'.

On my Google the stirp along the top is now black and I cannot read the writing has anyone else got this same problem please. ? I can only read web the others are almost blank.

I was watching a film on TV this afternoon a western the guy came along and jumped off his horse. except he didnt land he was left in mid air as the film had broken down after a few minutes they apologised and said it will be corrected soon. it seem to take ages before it started again this time the guy jumped off his horse and landed on the ground

It brought back memories of the 3p flicks the films were always breaking down then. you would have thought things would have imroved after all these years must be 70 years

Rita

now marilyn i no salford is in manchester i look on google
but manchester or salford is not in the info bite on ancestrey

Hi all.
Marilyn, I thought it would be a change for you and Pete, rather than a luxury liner. LOL
In fact, Pauline, Maddie and myself are booked in to cruise down the Congo, god knows what will happen if we see any Crocodiles, I just hope they have got someone with a harpoon or something, to protect us.

Rita, your treatment today, was disgusting. Fancy leaving you waiting that amount of time, they could at least have given you a cup of tea, and a biscuit to keep you going.

Cath, if your family are anything like mine, all the hard work will have been for nothing.
It's just as well that we have the interest in our ancestors, or all that history will be lost.
I just wish that my kids and grandchildren, didn't think I am a dotty moo, for being interested in my forebearers.(sp).

Lets hope that Shelly doesn't get held up for to long at the hospital. If her son is bleeding badly from his wound, perhaps they will want to get rid of him quickly, so that others dont faint at the sight of his blood all over the floor.LOL ;-)

Do you suppose Stephen hid himself in the grandchildrens luggage, and has gone on holiday with them on the quiet.

Evening all,
Shelly hope your lad is ok and finger sorted out.
Rita glad the scan was ok for you, shame you have such a long wait to hear from them though.
Have lots of info to put on my tree on OH's side. My brother in law has been doing it for about four years and has sent me a copy of what he's done. I know what he has written will be right as he's very thorough and has travelled far and wide to gather the information. I hope my children and grandchildren appreciate it in years to come.
Poor Stephen must be pining for his little darlings, won't be long before they're back :-D
Hope Pat is having a good time, and everyone is well,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to all,

Cath xx

Hi All,

I have never tasted pumpkin, have carved loads out though, I think I might try it next time.

Marilyn
one of the things I hate is Pumpkin when living in Norfolk one of my friends married an American stationed at Lakenheath and someone gave her the biggest Pumpkin I had ever seen . she intended making a Pumpkin pie. but he was called back stateside so they came to see me before they flew off to the states , and gave me this pumpkin I cleared the fruit out and gave the pumpkin to one of my neigbours who had three small boys. the made a face on it and put nighlights in and it stood in their front garden for a week. I gave the fruit filling to some others who made pies and they had a party in the village hall.

Rita

Marilyn they have been giving me blackcurrant with my aniseed to drink I got there ealry this morning we went on the M25 and although there was alot of cars it moved well. so I booked in and they gave me my drink early then just before I finshed driniing the pint of Aniseed the nurse said I am going to insert the tube into your arm for the idione, I said why now ? it is usually done when I am laying down. informed. we have too many scan patients today so we are doing the built up to the scan a different way. so I explained I was on warfarin she said right . and injected the tube into my arm of course it spurted she was not happy about it. I told her I did warn you. she asked me my name date of birth and address. then I sat outside in the lobby while people were coming and going including beds being pushed along. then went in once again asked my name date of birth and address I said I know who the prime minster is as well. she smiled I said I have never had this done in this way before. she asked me if it was my first C, T scan I said no I have four a year and have done so for the passed four and half years., I told her I felt as if I was on a conveoyor belt. I was out after 30 minutes in the Scanner. and had to sit for ten minutes because of my blood.
when I got home I didnt fell too good I had , not eaten since last night or had a drink. so I made tea and sat down and went off to sleep.
I will have to wait till 20th September till I get the result unless there is something more and it has started to grow again then they will write to me. so I can do nothing now but wait.

Rita
