Long history lesson here... Some states were the original united states original 13 colonies.. Other states were governed by other countries... France had Lousiana.. Spain had parts of what is now the united states. If i'm not mistaken I think Texas was the only state that was its own republic after fighting from indepence from Mexico.

All listings ho please there is no one place that has all the listing of what is for sale. Heck you can even look on the MLS and still there are several other MLS. This is how they have shorted the market.\nHow els do you think they had record sale yet no inventory, it was done by playing games with the MLS and never showing what is all for sale.\nThis web site show how this was done and the fact that the housing market is far from inclusive open and much less publicly assessable.\n\nhttp://www.breakingbubble.com/index.htm

You might check the city or county of issue's Historical Society. They might like to have it displayed in a museum. They can give its approximate value, and you can donate it for tax deduction or simply let them "borrow" it for a designated period of time. And you can always try e-bay.

Slavery had little to do with the Civil War. The prime issue was balance of power between Federal and State. Slavery happened to be the issue that fell along this divide. Could also throw in north-south economic disparacy.

While it's correct that no pleading is required (unless the party which filed the lis pendens improperly refuses to release it) a form of release may be required. \n\nThere are any number of places that offer legal forms for purchase. Some court websites (and others) offer a few forms without charge.

Secretary of State William Seward. He made the Lousiana Purchase AND bought Alaska ... both of which were done without permission, which makes him a hero AND the greatest government thief in all history.

agreed!\n\nhey nansimejia\n\nyou forget your own history : We bought it from your conquerors, \n\n\nIn 1762, France had ceded Louisiana to Spain, but by the secret Treaty of San Ildefonso (1800) the French had regained the area. Napoleon Bonaparte (the future Emperor Napoleon I) envisioned a great French empire in the New World, and he hoped to use the Mississippi Valley as a food and trade center to supply the island of Hispaniola, which was to be the heart of this empire. First, however, he had to restore French control of Hispaniola, where Haitian slaves under TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE had seized power (1801; see HAITI). In 1802 a large army sent by Napoleon under his brother-in-law, Charles Leclerc, arrived on the island to suppress the Haitian rebellion. Despite some military success, the French lost thousands of soldiers, mainly to yellow fever, and Napoleon soon realized that Hispaniola must be abandoned. Without that island he had little use for Louisiana. Facing renewed war with Great Britain, he could not spare troops to defend the territory; he needed funds, moreover, to support his military ventures in Europe. Accordingly, in April 1803 he offered to sell Louisiana to the United States.\nConcerned about French intentions, President Thomas Jefferson had already sent James Monroe and Robert R. Livingston to Paris to negotiate the purchase of a tract of land on the lower Mississippi or, at least, a guarantee of free navigation on the river. Surprised and delighted by the French offer of the whole territory, they immediately negotiated the treaty. \nJefferson was jubilant. At one stroke the United States would double its size, an enormous tract of land would be open to settlement, and the free navigation of the Mississippi would be assured. Although the Constitution did not specifically empower the federal government to acquire new territory by treaty, Jefferson concluded that the practical benefits to the nation far outweighed the possible violation of the Constitution. The Senate concurred with this decision and voted ratification on Oct. 20, 1803. The Spanish, who had never given up physical possession of Louisiana to the French, did so in a ceremony at New Orleans on Nov. 30, 1803. In a second ceremony, on Dec. 20, 1803, the French turned Louisiana over to the United States\nyour people capitulated. You lost a war, and with it, any claim to the territory you run around calling "Aztlan" today, all the while waving a Mexican flag.

First, remember that just because a state follows Community Property laws doesn't mean that all property is automatically CP. If the income derives solely from a separate property asset, it generally remains separate property. Each CP state has different rules for modifying this, but the basic premise remains.\n\nAlso remember that Louisiana is a civil law, rather than common law, jurisdiction. That means that each judge is free to interpret the statutory laws as they wish, and that prior judicial rulings do not have the same binding effect that they do in common law states. Thus, unless the legislative statute specifically determines what happens in a particular situation, the outcome is less certain than it would be in other states.\n\nThere are not enough facts to answer your question fully. If the working spouse owns the business, and owned the business before getting married, then the business may be considered a separate property asset, and thus any proceeds are separate property. Or the working spouse may be entitled to specific assets because of a pre-nup agreement. Or because of debt allocation. Or for dozen other reasons, all dependent on facts not listed.\n\nThe bottom line is that the judge probably is ruling according to what the law (the legislative statutes) say, but either the statutes don't cover this particular case, or the facts lead to a situation that may not make sense at first glance, because of the way the law is written. But if the judge isn't following the law, that's grounds for appeal.

I realize this will be quite difficult, but you will have to do a little more "dirty hands" research and dig up some information such as the name of the company who owned the ship, or where it was built, etc. in order to find your info.  I have seen lots of info about ship-owning families and companies, but few ship's names (except very famous ones) actually appearing in web searches.  Good luck!
