Are YOU the black sheep in your family?
If so, you’re in good company!
Or are you the lone sane person in a family tree overrun with crazed squirrels?
I found an interesting article at Blog Some Genealogy . Take a look, and then I’ll pose a challenge–find a politician that you’re related to! Personally I am related to George W (and the rest of his family) thru a G-G-G Aunt (or something–I’m not looking at the page right this second) Cora Neff Bush–she married into the Bush family. Plus I’m related to ole T.J himself–so that’s where the red hair comes from!
Of course, we’re all descended from Noah–unless A.B.C had it right when they put water-pirates in that made-for-t.v special a few years back. And on that same note–we’re all descended from Adam–unless you go for the whole alien photocopy thing. So if we go back far enough–and side-step the circular family trees (you know, the ones plagued with the crazed squirrels) I’m sure we’d find lots of familiar names.
Oh, that so reminds me—when my cousin and I were roomies in college we had a friend J.C. J.C was cool in his own way–a bit eccentric, but nothing really worrying. well, nothing that required counseling. But cuz’ had been working on her FH at the time and noticed that J.C’s last name was in a lot of her research.
From the same state that he was from.
And the same county!!
Turns out they were not too distant of cousins!!
Yet more proof that U of C, Provo is a small, small world unto itself!
(and another reason that it was good that the friendship never went any farther!!)
J.C–you know we love you!!
And cuz–you KNOW who I’m referring to and I know you’re laughing your self silly!
