Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And on my dad's side of the family, someone did it all already, too.
Gotta be careful about that. My cousin had already created a lot of family links in our tree, but when I checked one of his connections, the census report showed there was no way she could've been the person related to us, as she was on the wrong side of the country and already married to someone else at the time.
The story is that we're related to Daniel Boone, and I think whoever did the history might have had it done professionally. It's just not as interesting to me as my mom's side of the family, because to do the research and find out I already knew who I was related to would be a bummer, I think.
Huh. DNA might be a way to go. It's impersonal enough I wouldn't have to worry about living birth family, right? I'm a little curious about my lineage, as long as I don't have to (shudder) interact.
Oo, that's a sweet tree! The only cool thing I dug up in mine was that I had a great-something-grandfather named Jeremiah, which was a nice change from all the Jameses and Marys.
I'm quite fond of Jan Jansen van Harleem, professionally known as Murat Reis of the Salee Rovers, who ended his days as the governor of a Moorish fortress. And family apologies to the people of Baltimore, Ireland, whose people Jan sold into slavery in Morocco when he raided the town.
I know, not someone you should be proud of, but it will be fun in the afterlife, when I host the family reunion, to watch him and Governor Endicott, Puritan bigot extrodinaire, glare at each other.
I have a new kitty. Pictures to follow soon!
Yay Anne! Lucky kitty!
claps claps claps Anne!!!
Oh, good, Anne! Lucky kitty!
The story is that we're related to Daniel Boone
We might be cousins! Like, 7th cousins, but that's ok.
Which ones do you have? I have Endicotts and Lippincotts and Gaskill/Gaskoynes and Southards. No, the Southards are in New York, I think. I've got a lot of colonists.
Stevens! We seem to have migrated out of the Plymouth to New Nederlands within a generation, though.
