| - Ancestors is an episode from The Sooty Show.
- When Tarnum, king of the Barbarians, was slain in combat by King Rion Gryphonheart, the Ancestors faced a problem. As king, Tarnum had saved the barbarian people's history from being lost, and freed them from slavery under the Wizard-Kings of Bracaduun. But he had also committed many horrible atrocities, including slaughtering innocent peasants because they wouldn't join his horde, and poisoning his own captains when they tried to get him to stop his mad conquest and go home. As the Ancestors sensed some great potential in him, they sent him back to life as an immortal. He was then forced to do their bidding, performing great acts of good before they would let him enter Paradise.
- Ancestors is a Heroic Age god power in Age of Mythology, available to worshipers of Nephthys. It raises an army of 13 dead soldiers that will fight for the player. If Ancestors is cast on land, undead Minions (identical to those the Mummy creates) return from their graves; if cast on water, an undead fleet of Lost Ships rises from the depths. Either way, these units have a lifespan of 60 seconds.
- Ancestors is the 10th episode of the Second Season, and the 32th episode overall.
- The Ancestors are a group of Celestials working for the interests of Celestials. Some seek acceptance in mainstream human society, while others want a separate Celestial society. This article is a . You can help My English Wiki by expanding it.
- Ancestors are members of the company including the farmer and his wife (a parody of the famous painting American Gothic), and the counter who is always fiddling with his abacus. Fa Deng is the only ancestor whose head is cut off, a result of Mushu's misguidance to him when he was a guardian. Many of these ancestors clamor about Mulan when she's away. Mary Kay Bergman did the voice of the female ancestors in the first film and in the second film, they are voiced by Tress MacNeille.
- The Ancestors are a fundamental element of dwarven culture and life. Not quite a religion, the dwarven system of belief instead reveres the duality of the Stone and the Ancestors. Ancestors are worthy dwarves who have been properly interred in the Stone – "returned to the Stone" in dwarven parlance – and who therefore function as guides to their descendants, their noble deeds instructing the dwarves who follow them, and their voices heard in the justice meted out in Provings. They are regarded as honored and deeply respected spirits and all dwarves strive to live lives that honor both their Ancestors and the Stone.
- "On April 3, 1836, the prophet Elijah appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery in the Kirtland Temple. He conferred upon them the sealing power of the priesthood, making it possible for families to be sealed together in eternal units throughout the generations. In conferring this power, he fulfilled the prophecy that the Lord would send him 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers.'"1 1.

- I did it last Thursday, from a book I found in my loft… This is the story of why I am sorry for you. Now you have read this there’s no turning back. I am a normal person, normal house, normal job, normal friends, and normal life. Just about everything to do with me is normal. Or so I thought, until I researched my family tree. That was an old legend, but obviously not real. Many families had stories about their ancestors, most in an attempt to feel royal or simply special. Some actually did have famous ancestors. Many did not even know. I am laughing as I write this, another reason is as follows:
- However, she was apparently a fierce piratess whom, at some point, was betrayed to the Grand Highblood by her former ally Orphaner Dualscar. Based on her being the narrator of the journal that detailed all of this to Master Big Star, it's most likely that she survived this double-crossing to continue her plundering days long afterwards.

| - I did it last Thursday, from a book I found in my loft… This is the story of why I am sorry for you. Now you have read this there’s no turning back. I am a normal person, normal house, normal job, normal friends, and normal life. Just about everything to do with me is normal. Or so I thought, until I researched my family tree. It seems I am distantly related to one of those not found guilty, thus escaping execution, at the Salem Witch Trials. The legends go that she actually was a witch, and could therefore hide her secret powers and plead not guilty. There might have been a bit of enchanting helping her case, as well. That was an old legend, but obviously not real. Many families had stories about their ancestors, most in an attempt to feel royal or simply special. Some actually did have famous ancestors. Many did not even know. I read about my ancestor after I researched her, and it appears she was quite infamous in those days, but they could not find anything to convict her, so they dropped the charges against her. She would, for many years before, go round dressed in an old black silk cloak and wave a Hawthorn stick around in the air, chanting aloud in strange words from unknown languages. She would scream out curses on those she saw. This was an elaborate hoax, a way of making sure robbers and thieves stayed away from her small cottage. She lived alone, and there was nobody to guard her house when she went out. She had nothing of value in there, but still she thought that they would come and defile her house, and then she would die alone, unloved, unwanted. She was so terrified of this event coming to pass that she kept up this witch act her whole life, up until the point she died. Her bones were left alone to moulder; nobody wanted to go near the so called sorcerer. I was poking around in my loft the other day, when I found an old book. It was dusty and leather bound and very thick. It must have been a thousand pages long at least, and it captured my natural curiosity. Opening it to the index, I found the contents page used to sort out whatever this book was into even sections. Reading the scrawl on the first page with difficulty, I managed to make out ‘Property of Ms. Mary English’. I gasped when I read this, but I shouldn’t have been too surprised. This was the book of my ancestor! Quickly turning pages now, I came across spells. They were written in old English words, and the illustrations were truly gruesome. One spell in particular caught my eye. I laugh as I write this, for two reasons. One was that, even before Robert Louis Stevenson, there were men and women attempting to separate the bad side of us from the good. My distant ancestor had tried to do just that, through a spell. I chuckled as I realised I was taking this all in my stride. Spells, witches, things I wouldn’t have believed in a few years ago. Standing up from my crouched position in the loft, I took a few paces forward and fell through the floor. The old timber had cracked and rotted with age, and my weight was enough to crash right through it. I landed hard on the floor. It was extremely dark in here, and I wondered where I was. Taking a match from my pocket where I always carry them, I lit one. I screamed louder than I ever have before, for I was staring right into the grinning skull of a dead rotted body. Recovering myself, I looked around. It seemed I had fallen through the loft into a place between the walls of my house. They were not as solid as I had thought, but had a large gap in between them. Inspecting the skeleton nervously, I noticed it was wearing the tattered rags of an old black cloak. Could it be? Now I was just grasping at straws. Turning around, I saw the book had fallen with me. It did not seem damaged by its fall, which was very lucky. It was old, and I thought it would have been broken, but no. It was in the exact same position, too, open at the page I had opened it to. Caught up in the moment, I decided to try the spell. It was a simple one, requiring only that you chant the words aloud. I didn’t think it would hurt, and it was worth a try. I am chanting now, as I feel myself change. I should be worried, the spell went wrong. Or maybe this was its proper intention? I am laughing as I write this, another reason is as follows: The spell definitely separated the good and evil sides of myself. Unfortunately for you all, it has trapped the part of me that yearns for good and released the side of me that lives for destruction. As I change, I am hurriedly writing this and posting it. I want to tell you something… My brain is turning evil, but I know so much more. I can now track people down by the electrical currents in their brain and the resulting ‘fingerprint’ of energy when they access a page online. By reading this, you’ve told me where you are. I yearn for destruction. I can no longer hold back. Go away from this page, delete your history – or I will find you. Cackling like my ancestor, I go out to hunt.
- Ancestors is an episode from The Sooty Show.
- However, she was apparently a fierce piratess whom, at some point, was betrayed to the Grand Highblood by her former ally Orphaner Dualscar. Based on her being the narrator of the journal that detailed all of this to Master Big Star, it's most likely that she survived this double-crossing to continue her plundering days long afterwards. During a conversation between Vriska Serket and "Sledge Mama," it was revealed that the term for Mindfang's profession was (and perhaps still is) specifically a "gambligant". This seems to refer to what fickle fate Mindfang would have had to tangle with in relying on the roll of her dice to decide how her battles would be fought and how effective she would be.

- "On April 3, 1836, the prophet Elijah appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery in the Kirtland Temple. He conferred upon them the sealing power of the priesthood, making it possible for families to be sealed together in eternal units throughout the generations. In conferring this power, he fulfilled the prophecy that the Lord would send him 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers.'"1 It is believed in the Mormon Church that all must have the opportunity to hear the gospel and to accept or reject it, whether they are dead or alive. Many ancestors that have passed on did not have that opportunity. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the true gospel and because of its validity and the joy and happiness it brings into members' lives, they naturally want others to share in that joy and happiness. This is the motivation by which members search out the information on their deceased ancestors. The responsibility of doing family history work lies with each individual. Each member has three basic responsibilities: 1) Receive the temple ordinances for oneself and help immediate family members receive them; 2) Hold a current temple recommend and attend the temple as frequently as circumstances allow; 3) Gather family history information so that each ancestor can receive the blessings of the temple. Life does not end at death. When we die, our eternal spirits go to a spirit world, where we continue to learn while we await the Resurrection and Final Judgment.2 The restored gospel is preached to those who died without receiving it in mortality. Many of those in the spirit world will accept the gospel, but without a body they cannot accept the ordinances necessary for eternal life. The main purpose of family history work is to acquire names and other genealogical information so that temple ordinances can be performed in behalf of deceased ancestors. In other words, performing saving work for others that they cannot do for themselves. The family unit does not end at death – it continues beyond the grave. That is why it is vital to research, record, and complete the temple work for each individual, so that families can be together forever. Covenants are made at baptism and in the Mormon temples with the authority of God. These covenants are promises between an individual and Heavenly Father, where God sets specific conditions, and He promises to bless men and women as they obey those conditions. All the ordinances that are performed in the Mormon Church are accompanied by covenants. These covenants in the Temple are entered into by worthy members of the Church and they are done in behalf of their ancestors, who again, may accept or reject these covenants in the spirit world. Before the work can be done, each ancestor must be identified correctly. For many years, the Mormon Church has gathered genealogical records from all over the world. Through the work of many volunteers, this information has been made available at family history centers across the world. Salt Lake City is home to one of the largest genealogical societies. Familysearch.org is another resource, which provides genealogical information. 1.
