If you're searching for genealogical information on a pirate, it's extremely difficult to answer those questions. Historical records about pirates rarely contain this data, except in rare instances with well-known pirates. The vast majority of pirates' names are lost to history. Your best bet in searching for this type of information is to check genealogical records, which I don't have at my disposal. If there are tales of pirates in your family, you're more apt to verify such claims through family papers and letters than by asking me.

50. A Short History Of The Jews Of Greece
    Nikos Stavrolakis essay on the Jewish presence in Greece from ancient times until the Nazi occupation.  
    http://www.greecetravel.com/jewishhistory
    
    Extractions: Nikos Stavrolakis was one of the founders and director of the Jewish Museum in Greece from 1977 until 1993. During that time he was responsible for creating the basic collection of the museum consisting of religious, ethnic and historical artifacts-the sole remnants of a 2,400 year Jewish presence in Greece. He is the author of several books of Judeo-Greek Interest including an important guide to "Jewish Sites and Synagogues of Greece", a book on Judaeo-Greek cookery, "Cookbook of the Jews of Greece" and several other works. He has also followed a seperate career as a painter and illustrator and his works have been exhibited widely in the USA, UK, Europe and Israel. Of lesser importance to the reader, he was my ancient history teacher in highschool. His translation and introduction to the book Athens-Auschwitz is the basis of this website. The book was written by Errikos Sevillias, a survivor of the Nazi death camps and found among his papers when he was struck and killed by a motorcycle in 1974. The book is one of the most heart rendering and enlightening books I have ever read. Matt Barrett

51. History Of Iran: Identity Of Croatians In Ancient Iran

    http://www.iranchamber.com/history/articles/identity_croatians_ancient_iran.php
    
    Extractions: There are many real evidences about the identity of ancient Croats which all dismiss the theory that Croats are of Slav origin. Although research works on the Iranian origin of the Croats could not be publicized due to the censorship that was widely practiced at the time of the former regime in Yugoslavia, however, the available documented evidences reveal that the initiator of the effort on research about the Iranian origin of the Croats lived two centuries ago. Following the formation of Yugoslavia in 1918, the bigot Slavs known as the "wolves" collected the original copies of the research work and destroyed them in an attempt to conceal the truth about the Iranian origin of the Croats. To date, only some part of the research work that has been quoted in a report prepared by the academy of sciences of former Yugoslavia in 1938 is available. One of the articles has quoted some police reports that the then government in former Yugoslavia mounted pressures on Iranologists within the period 1918 to 1990. The article further proves that upon official instructions by the then government, Croats had to be considered as the middle ages Slavs. For this same reason, all the research works conducted over the origin of the Croats were considered as criminal acts and thus prohibited for a period of 70 years. All the research papers compiled by Iranologists were confiscated as documents against state interests and the researchers were imprisoned or sent to detention camps. Even four researchers were killed by the Yugoslav secret police for making investigations over the issue.

    Extractions: This Halloween, kids across the nation are celebrating Halloween by honoring the real-life heroes that emerged on September 11, the day terrorists attacked America. At costume stores across the country, the good guys are outselling the bad. Kids are choosing police officers, firefighters and the Statue of Liberty over the usual skeletons, ghouls and monsters. Right, White and Boo! Many kids are also planning to wear red, white and blue to demonstrate patriotism and pride in the United States. Two of the most popular patriotic costumes: Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam. Stars and stripes are also sure to be a hit! Howard Beige, executive vice president of Rubie's Costume in New York, expected kids to demand Harry Potter and SpongeBob Squarepants. Instead, he said kids have been more interested in firefighters, soldiers and USA teen cheerleader outfits. "Right now our factories look like Betsy Ross's flag shop," he said. Helping Kids in Afghanistan on Halloween While honoring heroes, many kids will also be helping those in need on Halloween. For the first time ever, the money that kids collect for UNICEF while trick or treating will be donated to children in Afghanistan. Some 400,000 Afghan children are in danger of dying this winter because of cold and malnutrition if aid is not sent. American kids are expected to collect $3 million to $5 million for UNICEF, mostly in pennies, when they go trick-or-treating. Check out some

54. Egypt: Nubia In Modern And Ancient Times
    History of Nubia from ancient times to the present, plus essays on the geography of Nubia, its political divisions and names over time, and its culture and traditions; from TourEgypt.  
    http://touregypt.net/historicalessays/nubia.htm
    
    Extractions: Nubia Nubia is located in today's southern Egypt and northern Sudan. The modern inhabitants of southern Egypt and Sudan still refer to themselves as Nubians. They speak the Nubian language as well as Arabic. Thousands of Nubians from the north were forced to relocate from their endangered homelands to be resettled in Egypt and Sudan. This land has one of the harshest climates in the world. The temperatures are high throughout most of the year, and rainfall is infrequent. The banks of the Nile are narrow in much of Nubia, making farming difficult. Yet, in antiquity, Nubia was a land of great natural wealth, of gold mines, ebony, ivory and incense which was always prized by her neighbors. Nubia is the homeland of Africa's earliest black culture with a history which can be traced from 3100 BC onward through Nubian monuments and artifacts, as well as written records from Egypt and Rome. The land of Nubia is a desert divided by the river Nile. For want of water and rich soil, most of Nubia has never been able to support a large population for long periods. However, some of Africa's greatest civilizations emerged here, centers of achievement whose existence was based on industry and trade. Because they did not write their own languages until very late in ancient times, we know these centers and their people largely through their archaeology and what the Egyptians and Greeks said about them.

55. Boston Globe Online / From The Archives / Health Sense

    Extractions: Using Altavista Author: By Chet Raymo Date: MONDAY, March 23, 1998 Page: Section: Health and Science EXUMA, Bahamas Cryptozoology is the study of unexplained and alleged sightings of strange creatures not documented by standard zoology. The Loch Ness monster, a purported marine dinosaur trapped in the Scottish lake by ancient geologic upheavals or sea-level changes, is a favorite subject of cryptozoologists. The Chupacabra, Puerto Rico's famous ``goatsucker,'' excites continuing curiosity. And of course the Abominable Snowman, Bigfoot and Yeti range wide regions of the world, tantalizing cryptozoologists with footprints and elusive sightings. The Internet hums with cryptozoological speculation, and books on the subject seem to have a broad audience. Nevertheless, as a science, cryptozoology ranks right up there with parapsychology and astrology; that is to say, it is not a science at all. Which is not to say that hidden corners of the Earth do not hold zoological surprises. Remember the coelacanth, a fish long thought to be extinct, discovered living in deep waters of the Indian Ocean in 1938? Remote forests and deep waters might still hide sizable animals, yet undiscovered. The proper scientific attitude, however, is ``Let's wait and see.''

56. Lepcis Magna. Between Late Ancient Times And Islamic Invasion
    Article describing a less well known period of Lepcis Magna.  
    http://mediatel.it/liberliber/biblioteca/testiinhtml/riviste/spolia/spoliaingles
    
    Extractions: URBAN AND RURAL LANDSCAPE In the summer of 1920 the excavations of Lepcis Magna started under the direction of Pietro Romanelli, Renato Bartoccini, Giacomo Guidi and Giacomo Caputo, who ran the Government Office for Monuments of Libya during the Italian occupation. They brought to the light the ruins of a marvellous town, which had been buried for centuries and, for certain aspects, had been protected under thousands of cubic metres of sand and alluvial deposits . The excavations and explorations were carried on also in the post war period both under the patronage of Italian archaeological missions and by English and French experts. Today much of the habitat and the monumental centre are still to be studied thus awakening the scientific interest of many archaeological missions that are carrying out excavations and surveys in the Libyan town (the latest excavations, co-ordinated by professor Luisa Musso ot the Terza Università of Rome dates back to April and May 1996) The most ancient findings date back to the end of the 6th century BC., even though tradition attributes the foundation of the town to Tyro or Sidone, during the Phoenician colonisation, at the beginning of the first millennium, thanks to its strategic position near the sea and to its big natural harbour. Lepcis Magna owes its name

57. The History Of Football
    Brief history of the sport from ancient times to the present. Particular focus on the development of the modern game in England.  
    http://www.nenyl.org.uk/history_of_football.htm
    
    Extractions: The History of Football The History of Football The Greeks, for whom ball games were an essential party of life, played a form of football as early as 4 BC. The game was known as pheninda and involved kicking the ball, running with it and handling it. There are other examples of early versions of the game evolving elsewhere around the world. In Japan, records show that around the fifth century AD a game called Kemari, which involved eight players ceremonially kicking the ball back to one another across a ground 14 metres square. The evolution of the game in England appears to have its roots in holy days. Written evidence confirms that in the twelfth century a game with a ball was played on Shrove Tuesday in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. On such occasions the whole town would get involved and the game could last for days. The purpose of the game was to gain possession of the ball and deliver it back to the town or parish. In many other places, Shrovetide football lasted until the latter half of the nineteenth century. Throughout the centuries English monarchs tried to ban this version of the game but Edward II, III, Richard II, Henry V and Elizabeth I were all unsuccessful in preventing the continued interest. In the eighteenth century, the game was taken up by the public schools who, realising the importance of team sport, invented their own versions of the game. By 1848 the first serious attempts were being made by Cambridge University to set up a common set of laws. Fifteen years later, The Football Association was founded and Association Football, the game that is played around the world today, was born.

58. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hermas
    First or second century, author of the book called The Shepherd (Poimen, Pastor), a work which had great authority in ancient times and was ranked with Holy Scripture.  
    http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07268b.htm
    
    Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... H > Hermas A B C D ... Z (First or second century), author of the book called "The Shepherd" ( Poimen , Pastor), a work which had great authority in ancient times and was ranked with Holy Scripture. Eusebius tells us that it was publicly read in the churches, and that while some denied it to be canonical, others "considered it most necessary". St. Athanasius speaks of it, together with the Didache, in connection with the deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament, as uncanonical yet recommended by the ancients for the reading of catechumens. Elsewhere he calls it a most profitable book. Rufinus similarly says that the ancients wished it to be read, but not to be used as an authority as to the Faith. It is found with the Epistle of Barnabas at the end of the New Testament in the great Siniatic Bible Aleph (fourth century), and between the Acts of the Apostles and the Acts of Paul in the stichometrical list of the Codex Claromontanus. In accordance with this conflicting evidence, we find two lines of opinion among the earlier Fathers. St. Irenaeus and Tertullian (in his Catholic days) cite the "Shepherd" as Scripture. Clement of Alexandria constantly quotes it with reverence, and so does Origen, who held that the author was the Hermas mentioned by St. Paul, Rom., xvi, 14. He says the work seems to him to be very useful, and Divinely inspired; yet he repeatedly apologizes, when he has occasion to quote it, on the ground that "many people despise it".
