of course I loved all of the conversations between Mal and The Operative as well

The Operative: You know, in certain older civilized cultures, when men failed as entirely as you have, they would throw themselves on their swords.
Dr. Mathias: Well, unfortunately, I forgot to...

Better to be in it, then on it.:twisted:

I would bet that you probably remember more then you think. when I started all I really had to go on was names, I didn't actually know who they were, just the names my dad had mentioned over the...

Of course I believe the follow up usually is "Have at Thee" :lol: sorry,I just had to say that.

Sorry Downunder kilt, I didn't mean to imply that you could . All I really meant was to claim "Kinship" with those closest to you. Though If you are kin to the Donald/MacDonald clan your probably...

I have used all of them..... Though I am uncertain of the validity of FamilySearch. They list my G Grandmother as part of the Glammis Line, And The Lyon Memorial Book Does not, so I am uncertain as...

That would be a tad impossible, as the Donald Ancester travels through the Lyon family till it reaches the Holifield (Oliphant) Family and then to me. My mother only knew his G G Grandaughter Lucy...

Ok I do Understand that this isn't really a Genealogical Site, But I was Hoping that perhaps someone from Clan Donald might have any information on which branch of the clan my ancestor (5th Great...
