My dad's family was from Bad Axe
Holy carp, that's where my father was from! I thought I'd never meet anyone else from that town.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Aw, poor M. Let's hope a little coddling gets him back on track.
Calli, according to Wikipedia the name comes from the surveyors of the area finding a damaged axe on the ground when they made camp and they listed the site as "Bad Axe Camp" on the map of the area.

No shit, Zen! That's crazy, it's not that big a town. Both of my grandparents on my dad's side grew up there. But most of their families came over from Ontario in the middle to late 1800s. Dad said they used to have huge family reunions in Windsor every year.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy birthday, Seska! Hooray, tea!
Congrats in the successful date, P-C. Well done.

My father's father came from Canada, probably Ontario, in the late 1800's, too. ... You don't happen to have any Stewarts in your family tree, do you?

No Stewarts that I know of. I've got Campbell, Dunster, and Ogden all from Ontario. Morin from Quebec, actually, stopped in Ontario long enough to marry and then hied off to MI.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Ok, who else is kinda disappointed that ZenKitty and SailAway didn't turn out to be identical long lost cousins?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hehe. Could still be there! I can't get back before my great grandma Campbell, so who knows? There might be a Stewart in there yet. It's a good Scottish name.
