OK, I understand that the Mayflower took off from England with the Speedwell, a Dutch ship. The Speedwell had a leak so some of the passengers, after a few more tries I guess, boarded the Mayflower to America.

I am part dutch, my grandma is half so could I be related to the pilgrims because my family (grandmother and mom) have told me that our family cam over by the Mayflower)

I know that much of the people on board were English but there were dutch too and i think some servants to the english.

I don't recognize any of the surnames of the list of passengers on the ship, mainly because a woman that I'm related to could have married a man and got last name changed.

So do u know of anyway for sure how I can know and do u think it is possible?

Thanks

All moderates I have meet have intelligent answers to the problems our nation faces, yet offer no action. The Republicans and Democrats are not so great and have a tendency to spew off the same old tired lines over and over again and just get angry when you ask them some hard questions.

What would it take to get fellow moderates together and into action?

I have an old friend. He was broke, he asked some help.
So I gave him some money. About 1500.
He supposed to pay me back in few weeks. He didnt.
It s been a while now.
He says he still having problems but he ll pay eventually.
He also accepted to sign a document so I can sue him in case he doesnt pay in few weeks.
I said yes. Now I need to prepare such document.
So my question is:
Does it have a legal binding if its just between me and him?
Or Do we have to go to notery public?

I recently bought a used tire for my car and it had a seven day warranty. Two or three days after I bought it I was driving and suddenly my tire blew out and my car swerved to the right (it was the front right tire that blew) and I side swiped a parked truck. Could the company that sold me the tire be liable for some of the damages caused since the blown out tire is what caused the accident?

Also, I don't know if this makes any difference but the man that drove the tow truck said that it looked like the side of the tire blew out.
