If you could travel back in time

i would like to go back to the roaring 20's the Al Capone days ,i think me and Al Capone would have gotten along really good

i am such a history fanatic that i would love to go anywhere back in time, but yes, i would loved to have met my great grandfather who was a taylor in the late 1800's. it would have been interesting to see... i would also like have to have seen nyc in maybe 1904, to see the grand mansions on 5th ave and the tenements...

I agree that would be a fascinating time and place to be. I hope your great great grandfather was one of the good mill owners who used his wealth to provide housing, health care and education for the families of the people who worked for him. There were some good mill owners who did this and others who kept their wealth and did not care about the poor. I grew up in Yorkshire where there are still some mills built in Victorian times for the wool trade. Some of them were built like Italian palaces with grand architectural features.

I would go to visit my great grand father who was the personal secretary finance for a King way back in India. I would love to be with him. Also i will meet the famous ------this would never end. Fantasy i really love them.

This is such a great discussion. I have always wished that I could have lived in many different times. When they were building the pyramids in Egypt, did they know then what an incredible thing they were doing, what they were leaving for the future world to see. Another time, for me, is the French Impressionist Painters, around the time you are writing about or a few decades later. To experience the shift in the art movement, hang out with Monet and Van Gogh, I find that time to be so interesting. More than that, I would like to have been in the middle of every great movement, when things were changing and being discovered, like the United States, when cars and telephones were invented. It is fascinating and I am so glad you started this.

I would like to travel to the beginning of time and see how everything was really created, then I would like to go to the beginning of Christendom, which is the life of Jesus and who he really was, and also if he was a freemason...hehe I read that in the Hiram Key..Good book to read. I'd like to also go to the childhood of my father nd mother to see why they turned out the way they did and I would like to meet my paternal grandfather who was a Nazi just to protect his Jewish wife...haaa how romantic....

This is a good topic for discussion really. I know when I'd want to go back to. Not sure of the exact date but I'd love to go back and talk with the Founding Father's of the United States. If possible I'd love to record it all as well but either way I'd love to be able to talk with them and find out exactly what they had in mind for this country. I'd also like to be able to show them how the country is today and see what they think of it. Find out how they really stood on many issues and what they would say on how we deal with things in our present day. I have the feeling it would be very enlightening (If I wasn't burned as a witch that is ) I think it would be excellent especially if I could record it and bring it back for others to see as well. Who knows what all we might learn about what they had planned for this country.

I'f like to go to Dublin, Ireland the week before the Easter Rebellion and just stroll around and catch what was in the air. Not even sure if I'd stay for the actual uprising. It was so heartbreaking.) The Easter Rebellion was such a lost cause but it eventually united the Irish and it seemed to be one of those rare times in history when people from all walks of life came together for something they truly believed in against all odds.

I am not a huge baseball fan anymore but I would love to go back to the days of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig and see a game. Back when people cared about sport and not just money and commercialism. I would love to see what life was like back then. My husband and I talk about this type of thing whenever we drive through a town that was obviously once prestigious and beautiful; now run down and dirty with the majority of the stores boarded up and none of them are the original dwellers of the space. Makes me wonder what happened.

I would travel back in time to the day I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I don't call it a regret today but it is a lesson I just wished I didn't learn and at no other time in my life since then have I had to learn a lesson as painful. I would change how I handled this particular situation and I don't think it would really effect where and how I am today.

I would absolutely love to visit Imperial Russia during the height of the reign of that most famous Czar, Nicholas. No, I don't believe that I am Anastasia reborn, but I do believe in reincarnation. So while I don't think I was a member of the Czar's immediate family, I do feel a very strong connection to them. Perhaps I may have been a cousin, or a trusted person of the court, who knows? I couldn't just visit for a day, though, it would have to be at least a week! My family is descended from Native Americans, Italians, and Irish folk, and yet I feel less kinship for these than I do the Russians. Even in today's world, I have more affection and fascination for the Russians and their culture than I do for the Native Americans. Like you, I would love to see firsthand how they looked, what they wore, what they ate, how they danced. I would probably keel right over if it really ever happened!!!

i would love to travel back to the roman era and witness how they truely looked and acted with all thier magnificent regalia on thier centurians and the conquering of all the known civilised world! (or the greeks, they would be facinating!)

Whereabouts in Derbyshire..I would be fascinated to know????? AS for me id love to have lived in the days of the Forsthye saga!!!!

i think that if i could travel back in time i would probably go back to the old wild wild west.things were a heck of alot simpler back then.people weren't so hung up on politics and religion ect..you were what you were and if someone had a problem they took care of it themselves.the only problem id have traveling through time at all though would be the fact that they didn't invent indoor plumbing.

I would like to go back to the early or middle middle ages when my father's ancestors left Northern Germany and the border near the Netherlands to go to Eastern Europe. I would like to see the hustle and bustle when the guilds were setting out trade centers along the Rhine and Danube, and the first trade organizations in Europe were starting after the end of the Roman Empire. It would have been marvellous and as well, I could see the Lords and Ladies in their costumes, knights on horseback, jousting matches and all that.

I had always thought that it would be fun to go back to the late 1950's early 1960's because of the fun styles, dancing, and music. However, I have been reading a lot of books about the Tudor era in England, and it seems like it might have been interesting to see what it would have been like to live at "court".

If I could travel back in time I think I would go back to my Irish roots and see exactly where I came from and what it was like back then and then I would be able to see my distant relatives.. LOL!! I'm very curious also about my mom's background since she was adopted I only know so much. I would love to know more information about her side.

I would like to go to more places than one day will allow, but if only one day and one place, then it would be a happy day of my childhood, when all my family was there and everybody was happy! There are not too many of those days so I would have to think carefully, maybe a wedding I went to or a birthday party! I would be able to see my dad again and his mother, my grandmother and uncles and remember how it felt to be loved so unconditionally! For only a day.

I would liketo goback to Kentucky about 1810 and meet my gr gr grandfather thomas clark and his seven children one of whom was my gr grandfather James clark and his wife Nancy Fitzpatrick and hear about Ireland andwhere Thomas came from and about his father who stayed in Ireland Andrew Clark I am a genealogy bug for sure

I would go back all the way to the medieval era, where there are castles and kingdom wars everywhere, where horse was still the means of transportation, and where the finest baroque and gothic architectures such as churches, halls, and coliseums (if there were still some by this time) were just being built. I would love to eat what they eat, farm as they do and well, go to war myself for the sake of my country or faith. (Gee, isn't this attitude way to medieval as well. lol)
