Never really come across a freehold 'island'
Can only presume by island you mean "land" in the usual way. under the Law of Property Act 1925, there are basically 2 types of tenure of land what is commonly known as. 1. Freehold (absolute), and 2. Leasehold (or a term of years absolute). In the case of a freehold absolute this is the best ownership which broadly means the only person who can have a superior claim in the case of the UK is the Queen!

How many of the founding fathers had parents born in the British Isles?
You are quite correct about the Revolutionary War being, in large measure, a civil war. It certainly started that way. The war had been going on for well over a year, with major battles fought from Quebec, Canada to Charleston, South Carolina, before we declared independence. Except for a few radicals nobody was even considering independence before early 1776. The publication of Tom Pain's pamphlet "Common Sense" sparked a radical change in public opinion on the matter. I would disagree with you on the matter of Americans wanting to return to a previous state. That was precisely what we did want. Beginning in the 1760's the British Parliament began attempting to exercise legislative authority over the colonies, particularly the power to tax, that it had never asserted before. The colonists argument was that Parliament had no such authority outside of Britain itself. They wanted to go back to the way things were before. It was only when this became obviously impossible and the king was clearly supporting the Parliamentary power that people decided to throw off the mother country. As for your question of how many, I did not read your details and thought you were referring to the framers of the constitution, i.e those who attended the constitutional convention. I posted that question on a couple of other forums I frequent and got back some interesting information. Roughly 86% of the population of the colonies at the time of the revolution were descended from people who had immigrated to America before 1700. However, based on the reply I received about 17 of the delegates to the constitutional convention had parents born in England which would be a much higher percentage than the general population.

What is the name of the balsa raft that sailed from Peru to Tahiti?
Just click on the related link below, and you'll get Wiki-pedia's grip-
Of Thor Heyerdahl's epic story of, the Kon-Tiki's historic trip!
It started from Peru, you see, with a total crew of six-
And when crashed ashore in Raroria, there was not much left but sticks.
(***More intact than not, actually, but I digress...)
The crew all became mighty sailing men, the skipper brave! and he knew!
They could cross the Pacific to Poly-nes-i-a if they'd depart right from Peru...
It took a hundred days plus one, but all the crew was safe-
They made radio contact just in time, to stop a massive rescue attempt!
If you can visit Oslo, Norway, you'd get the chance to see him-
For the raft now rests calmly ashore, in his own Kon-Tiki Museum.
(My sincerest apologies to Sherwood Schwartz, the writer of the The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle, whose lyrical talents far exceed mine, for the above poetic attempt.)
Read about the Kon-Tiki and see the movie: I did!

yes, my name is rich Cummings I was stationed in eniwetok in 1978 and I,m im having problems getting medical records from my 8 month tour overthere.I am having some medical problems that some doctors believe come from being
exposedto radiation.the air force witch was in charge of monitoring radiation believed everyone was exposed simply because they admitted they were fairly new to this type of monitoring at that time.
my address is rich Cummings route #268 cowansville pa 16218 Id liike to hear from anyone who was there i was in the first group that went there from the 65 th engineer bt. from Hawai Yes, my name is Bernie Stearos and my section blasted the coral reef and delivered the large chunks of coral to our rock crusher.
The crusher produced aggregate for use in construction of the dome over Cactus Crater. There was not any safety equipment used during demolition or crushing activities (safety breathing equipment). The crushed coral was transported to the crater via 20 ton dump trucks. During the drive, the air and sun dried the coral and produced a fine dust. This was in the air on the hot end and the clear end of the island (Runnit) and again, there was not any safety breathing gear on the clear end of the island. Everyone did wear dosimeters and upon leaving the atoll, they were turned in to the USAF. Some of us left early due to a hurricane and serious illness in the family. Requirement was to fill a one gallon milk jug with urine prior to leaveing the atoll. Drink a couple of beers, pour some beer, whiskey, water and some urine in the container and then you could leave. Results of testing was quite inaccurate. How many rads did the troops receive? Who really knows? Always had tropical breezes. I had an xray done on me to check for radiation by a civilian doctor. Was the xray a good one, did it check properly, was there any amount of radiation at all? I was told I was fine. (Dr. Roach, ADENA Med Cntr.)
