My maternal grandfather's family is from County Cork
Hey! Mine too! Or, no, it's maternal grandmother's family. County Cork, late 1800's, John and Roxylainy Ward. Our family is famous mostly for horse thieving, drug running, and a couple guys who murdered some guys who came after their women and weed.
Man, our ancestors probably killed each other! Or, at the very least, got drunk and puked on each other.
I was hoping to avoid that. Why hasn't someone done my work for me? Why? Why? Why?
I am about to email you the coverage dates from Courtlink. It may not be an exact match, but it should be close.
Thanks, Perkins! My clinical students thank-you, too.

If your family's anything like mine, they probably got drunk, had sex, smoked a cigarette, had a baby, and THEN killed each other.
Family Lore: The first Smay in America was at Valley Forge. (Though more likely it was his son, since they were all named John.) Somebody else on my Dad's side was an outlaw in the west.
German-speakers from Pennsylvania who trekked to the Territory and founded small farming communities.
This describes most of my family too. There was a Smaysville in Idaho (I think it was Idaho) at one point when three brothers joined their large farms into an incorporated town. Also, Googling my name turns up a namesake as a prisoner at Andersonville (a book I had to read in high school).

You left out "passed out" somewhere in there.

Oh, right. Well, at least one party could be passed out at any point on the line, there. If it's possible to smoke a cigarette while passed out, my mom probably invented the method.
And they wondered why I couldn't breathe.

And a lot of E. Washington...like the town of Odessa, where English is taught in school, German being spoken in the home first.
Still. (Well, as recently as the late 80s, when I was a student at WSU, and had several classmates from the area around Odessa.)
Mmmmm...I have Galaxy Minstrels!! Nom nom nom.
