Yikes! I wasn't bragging about my "pedigree". I just think history and genealogy are interesting.
Gosh, me neither! And it isn't even "my" pedigree! Little did DH know (and neither did I until we went on a researching hunt with some of my elderly aunts who had tales to tell:shock: ) that he married into a for sure enough, backwoods, moonshining... er... that is to say, hill people. (begging anyone's pardon, and please don't take offense because I am speaking of my family tree only ) :-D
