Quentin Sommerville,
I’m 85…DOB 02-19-1938. My maternal Grandmother was a Sommerville…he was Superintendent, Oak Hill Cemetery, Georgetown, DC. The family was from Gransha, Ireland, West of St Patrick’s traditional burial site. Eileen & I were married on 21st Nov 64 at Holy Trinity Jesuit Parish, Georgetown DC. My Grandmother was married there in 1904!
I think the Sommerville’s were in PA. One went back to Derry/Londonderry and got two brothers. The three left from the same port for PA. The British would not allow them into VA. They joined the the American Revolution & served in PA on the OH River. I belong to SAR through them. My paternal Grandfather Jos A Walsh was born in near Liverpool, England. The family was from Killarney with the Luther family.
Cordially

People that believe in a God should know that myth does not trump facts. Stop harming others and work on the survival of all, not just your tribe. Government is to educate people on the best way to survive not bringing threats to others that are greedy. The unknown is waiting for creative people to find it.
This BBC reporter is unique, what I personally need to know, is approximately how old he is…since there is an implication that he somehow saw similar scenes in WW2, either with his eyes or with the help of History books? Currently, all books are banned in the USA; since it is the time for “Artificial-Intelligence” to either prove or disprove America’s leap to the “All-In-One Computer from Alan Turing.” Also, the real reason why Alan Turing had to commit suicide is perhaps another episode for the BBC. That one is really sick!
Books are not banned just hidden from the low I.Q. people that do not understand. Beliefs and emotions are in the head not reality. For some in the head is reality.
