What colour of smoke will we see coming out of the chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel later today ?

White, Black, or Pink ;-)

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

I watched them trooping [nay staggering] into the Sistine Chapel - they all looked ready for the morgue not a vote :-(

I can't think skin colour would be an issue at all - they just need one with a fairly strong pulse and heartbeat and there didn't seem to be much choice
