Here's the challenge issued last night from over at GeneaMusings :
It's Saturday Night - time for some Genealogy Fun!! It's also Super Bowl Eve...
Many American residents are focused on Sunday's Super Bowl XLIV to decide the championship of the National Football League. After 20 weeks of play, the Indianapolis Colts (16-2) are favored by 5 points over the New Orleans Saints (15-3) in the game to be played in Miami, Florida in an outdoor stadium on real grass, starting at 3:30 p.m. (PST). The pre-game hype, er, programs, starts on Sunday morning on CBS.
So, your mission, if you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible theme), is to:
1) Tell us about your dream game of the Super Bowl of Genealogy!
* Where would it be played?
* What teams would play?
* Who would be the head coaches?
* Who would be the stars of the game?
* Who would win?
* Who are the cheerleaders?
* If you were playing in the game, what would be your dream play?
2) Who do you think will win the NFL Super Bowl Colts-Saints game on Sunday? Your score prediction, please!
3) Post your thoughts on your own blog, on a Facebook comment or Note, or as a comment on this blog post.

Randy! Come on!!! My least favorite thing of all time... comparing ANYTHING to a football game!!!
UGH!!!
Sorry guys, but I am not, nor have I ever been, nor will I ever be, interested in this sport! [Soccer? Maybe. Basketbal... well... sometimes. But there are a few that's a NEVER: footbal and baseball.]
So, how do I write this one up folks?
Here I go:
1: Where would it be played? On the computer field, where players have the best advantage for those "lightning fast" moves.
What teams would play? Oh there is no doubt the Super Bowl of Genealogy would be played against Ancestry.com and Family Search.org, although there would be some great teams along the way in the playoffs! [One of my favorites is the WV Cultural link for WV vital statistics! As well as Footnote, Newspaper Archives, etc.]
Who would be the main coaches? No doubt the CEO's of Ancestry and Family Search, Tim Sullivan and David Rencher.
Who would be the stars of the team? Oh, my goodness! There are too many stars to be able to name them all! The really big ones? Definitely Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak, Dick Eastman for technical moves, Randy Seaver for running the plays [is that tantamount to the quarterback?], and of course, Arlene Eakle for finding those hidden moves that no one else could find or think of!
Who would win? Come on! In a game like this??? We'd ALL be winners!!!
Who would be the cheerleaders? Oh, so easy... that's our ancestors! Can't you just hear them standing on the sidelines?
"Come on Megan .... She's our [wo]man!
If she can't find us....No one can!"
If you were playing in the game, what would your dream play be? Well, not understanding the rules, so definitely not the plays, of football, I'll have to make up a comparison! My dream play would be Dick Eastman giving me the technical know how, Arlene Eakle then passes the info to me, Megan Smolenyak is plowing the field in front of me ...clearing every thing out of the way, and I run to the end field and SCORE!!!! [By the way, I guess Randy Seaver sat this one out and let me play the quarterback!] In the stands are my ancestors and family members. They're on their feet and the cheers are nearly a roar! I break through the goal and do my victory dance!!! The crowd goes wild... and I am written in the annals of genealogy history for all time!!! [Yeah right!!! Naw... I'll leave this kind of dreaming to you big guys! Give me the occasional wall to break through, and I'm quite happy. For me, the pursuit is much of the fun!!!]
2: Who will win the Super Bowl, Colts-Saints? Final score?
Oh, this so....got me into trouble for several years! I don't follow football [as obvious from the above post], but several years ago I made joking bets 6 years running, and just guessed at the outcome. Well, I won every one of those bets!!! [My ex-husband was furious!!! He followed the sport religiously and kept all the stats, etc.] And Randy you want me to do this again?
Okay, I'll give it a whirl. Saints by 6 points. [I won't even begin to give you a final score!!!] I'll let you guys tell me how close I come.

Tombstone Preservation In A Bottle?
What is it?
Spray-on liquid glass is transparent, non-toxic, and can protect virtually any surface against almost any damage from hazards such as water, UV radiation, dirt, heat, and bacterial infections. The coating is also flexible and breathable, which makes it suitable for use on an enormous array of products.
Liquid glass was invented in Turkey and the patent is held by Nanopool, a family-owned German company. Research on the product was carried out at the Saarbrücken Institute for New Materials.
The liquid glass spray produces a water-resistant coating only around 100 nanometers (15-30 molecules) thick. On this nanoscale the glass is highly flexible and breathable. The coating is environmentally harmless and non-toxic, and easy to clean using only water or a simple wipe with a damp cloth. It repels bacteria, water and dirt, and resists heat, UV light and even acids. UK project manager with Nanopool, Neil McClelland, said soon almost every product you purchase will be coated with liquid glass.
The war graves association in the UK is investigating using the spray to treat stone monuments and grave stones, since trials have shown the coating protects against weathering and graffiti. Trials in Turkey are testing the product on monuments such as the Ataturk Mausoleum in Ankara.
Liquid glass spray is perhaps the most important nanotechnology product to emerge to date. It will be available in DIY stores in Britain soon, with prices starting at around £5 ($8 US). Other outlets, such as many supermarkets, may be unwilling to stock the products because they make enormous profits from cleaning products that need to be replaced regularly, and liquid glass would make virtually all of them obsolete.

Sentimental Sunday - 07 Feb 2010
It looks like an old beaver-skin hat. Nothing extraordinary.
It appears worn, and battered; dirty and stained.
But look again.
Notice the stains on the front of the hat? They are dark. A very dark stain. Look again, and at the apex of the crown you will see a small hole. See it?
The stains are blood stains. The hole you see? A bullet hole.
This hat is the one that William M. Bean had on that fateful January 1st 1864 when he rode up to a cabin in Wiseman’s Hollow in Monroe County, WV to apprehend renegade soldiers who had stolen some clothing off of a washline.
As he approached the cabin, one of the renegades’s shot from the loft of the cabin. The bullet went through the edge of the crown of his hat. It stopped in his brain.
William was killed. His body was taken back to the house on Potts Creek that he’d built for his wife, who had died in 1856 from a fever. [ See our post on the William Bean house here.]
Laid out on planks in the parlor, that served as a funeral bier, his wound seeped fluid onto the floor. It is said that still today, nearly 150 years later, those blood stains remain on the floor.
The family legend so goes that when an individual tries the hat on…. They die shortly thereafter.
No one has tried it on in over 100 years.

Dancing On The Graves
If you haven't already seen it, click on over to FamHist and check out Lineagekeeper's post there. [And here I thought I was alone in this conversing with my ancestors!]
I am "borrowing" this lovely trailer from them as well, found on YouTube for Northern Exposure. Oh, this is so me!!! [I once danced an Irish jig on my great-grandpa's grave. I said I was dancing for him... of course my family was mortified! I thought I'd made my great-grandpa quite proud that day! I was 44 years old!!!]

Now They Know...
Stephanie Clark &Alice Beverly hold pictures of their sister, Paula Beverly Davis
Stephanie Clack's sister, Paula Beverly Davis, went missing 22 years ago. She never knew what happened to her.
Thanks to a television show, a Web site, and two tattoos, she now knows more.
Davis was strangled and her body dumped in Ohio, after she went missing from her Missouri home.
The story began to unfold in October when a relative called after watching an episode of the television show, "The Forgotten" [ABC, Tuesday evenings, 10pm EST]. A web site was listed on the show, NamUs, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. The Department of Justice recently launched the site as a repository for unidentified remains and missing persons.
Clack put in her sister's information, and came up with ten possible matches.
Two unmistakable identification marks came up, tattoos of a rose and a unicorn, and Clack knew she'd found her sister.
Clack contacted Montgomer County, Ohio authorities. She found out her sisters' body had been found on an Interstate 70 entrance ramp, August 10, 1987 - just two days after she went missing. She had been strangled. The homicide investigation that followed the discovery remains unsolved today.
Davis' unidentified remains were buried in Montgomery County with no name and no headstone. A DNA test has confirmed she is, indeed, Paula Beverly Davis.
Clack and her sister, Alice Beverly, had searched all over the Internet for ways to find their sister and find out what happened to her. NamUs has brought them that information, and perhaps a little closure.
Because Clack and her family have no funds [both she and her husband are currently unemployed, the cast and crew of "The Forgotten", including actor Christian Slater and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, have offered to cover the $5,000 needed to exhume Davis' body, have it cremated, and sent to Missouri where her family live, and have it reinterred there.
Clack states that after her sister became missing, her mother had a break down. She later died, never knowing what happened to her daughter, Paula.
"Our biggest goal was to her [Davis] home, back with her family where she belongs."
Kudos to "The Forgotten"'s cast and crew for making this happen.
