I'm working on my genealogy stuff this year. It's SO interesting! I mentioned in another post that I'd found the Ropers on my father's side and my mother's side were related. Born2Sew on this forum contacted me and said SHE's a Roper. Turns out we're cousins (XXX times removed - but cousins just the same!)!!!!
I know we're related to George Washington -- his brother's line are my ancestors. I just came across the possibility we're related to Wyatt Earp. I've also found my father's side of the family goes back to King of Ireland.
