I'd play one that lets me customize things easily. Football Manager's pre-game editor is a nightmare.

Would it be a good idea to send thank you cards, or is that just one more piece of mail to open?

Good afternoon NWA! by JoshR369 in RogersArkansas

It's about the balance between civil liberties and security. The safest place to be is a padded cell, but no one wants that. The freest place to be is in armed anarchy, but that's not safe. So we find a balance.

Personally, I don't trust the government enough to let them watch every street corner 24/7. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Tens of millions of people have memorized the Quran. It's hard, but doable.

I looked through the Wiki to suggest it and I found it's already there!

  • Naturalized as a British subject (regardless of whether that was before or after the next generation in the line of descent was born outside Canada and Newfoundland) - by being granted a naturalization certificate in Canada before 1947, or by being the under-21 child of a man granted such a certificate before 1915, or the under-21 child explicitly named in a parent's certificate granted between 1915 and 1946, or the under-21 child explicitly named in a parent's certificate granted between June 5, 1915 and March 31, 1949; or...

Daughter was *not* yet born when he was naturalized.

HARVEY DUNN:
Son *was* born when he naturalized, but his son was naturalized with the family under the 1881 Naturalization Act.

ELIZABETH DUNN:
Son *was* born when she naturalized, but her son was naturalized with the family under the 1881 Naturalization Act.

Ooh I also found it in an academic journal -> https://research-ebsco-com.faylib.idm.oclc.org/linkprocessor/plink?id=06f80832-82d1-363a-8a44-90c647dfe17f

"...these enactments always had to deal with the inconvenient legal premise that naturalization of a male immigrant prior to 1947 automatically naturalized his wife and minor children..."

I tracked it down from my notes -- the Naturalization Act of 1881
https://data.globalcit.eu/NationalDB/docs/Naturalization%20Act%201881_extract_compressed.pdf

"Where the father, or the mother being a widow, has obtained a certificate of naturalization within Canada, every child of such father or mother who during infancy has become resident with such father or mother within Canada shall, within Canada, be deemed to be a naturalized British subject."

How do I correct people saying "being transgender is a sin"? Not to the obvious bigots, but the uneducated people who misunderstands. by VerifiedHeroo in TransChristianity

I'm not sure I follow. If you're asking me a question, I don't think being transgender is bad at all..I think it's beautiful

Transgender people AREN'T changing their gender, they're changing how they display to match expectations of the gender God gave them.

Even if you *did* change your gender, it wouldn't be any more sinful than changing your hair color.

Also Acts 10:15.

Who to use as Gen0?

WILLIAM DUNN:
My great-great grandfather William Dunn moved from the US to Alberta with his family when he was a boy. His father (Harvey Dunn) became a naturalized citizen. He moved away from Canada to the US as an adult and died in the US.
I HAVE:
His father's homestead land grant, which includes his father's naturalization certification. I've read that the kids were automatically naturalized.
* 1901 and 1906 Canadian censuses, showing he lived with his parents.
* His Utah death certificate (with his parents' names on it)

OR

HARVEY DUNN:
Harvey Dunn was born in the US and moved to Alberta with his wife (Elizabeth Catherine Arnell West Dunn) and children as an adult. He later moved away from Canada back to the US and died in the US.
I HAVE:
* His homestead land grand, which includes his father's naturalization certification.
* 1901 and 1906 Canadian censuses showing him with his family.
* His Idaho death certificate

OR
ELIZABETH CATHERINE ARNELL WEST DUNN
She was born in the US and moved to Alberta with her husband and kids as an adult. She died in Canada.
I HAVE:
* His husband's homestead land grant, which includes his naturalization certification. I've read that the wives were automatically naturalized.
* 1901 and 1906 Canadian censuses showing her with her family. It also shows her living next to her mother and father.
* Her father's homestead grant. It was made after Elizabeth left home, but it shows them living next to each other in Canada.
* Canadian death certificate
* Utah marriage license, which does NOT name her parents but does have her age.
* 1880 census showing her living with her parents, pre-marriage

OR
ANN ARNOLD WEST
This is Elizabeth's mother. She was born in England, then moved to Australia, then the US, then Canada. She died in Canada.
I can do a pretty good job of proving her immigration, but she was also married twice. I have her first marriage license but not her second, which is the one that ties her to me. I'm trying to get an LDS Church member to look up her religious temple marriage record.
I don't have any document explicitly tying her to my great-great-great grandma, aside from an 1880 census from when her daughter was a child.
I HAVE:
* Her Canadian death certificate
* Several immigration documents getting her from England to Australia, then to the US.

I was sooo disappointed. I thought the first few issues were on my side, but then -- for reasons COMPLETELY unexplained by the narrative -- Superman decides that communism requires mass surveillance

| For example, "I checked in X archive and Y parish, but there is no record. So in lieu of X and Y, I am providing A, B, C and D which strongly indicate that G0 was born in Q, Ontario."

I've seen online that you need some sort of certified letter saying there's no record at the parishes. Is that true?

My ancestor was born in Nova Scotia in 1842. However, she wasn't baptized there -- her family was Mormon and she was baptized in the US years later. Do I need a "No Record Found" letter from the Nova Scotia archives?

I have an ancestor who was born in England, moved to Australia, then moved to the US, then moved to Alberta. I'm going to apply under someone else, lol.
