Oh, and my DH is related to the *Dukes* who established Duke University.

Me too! As a matter of fact, my first time voting at 18, I voted very proudly for Jimmy Carter.
Everyone has such wonderful history to share! Real pleasure reading each and every one. Me? Nothing to report. My sister and I are just beginning to delve into the family history-which we know emigrated from Germany and Norway. DH's family did too. So this will be interesting!
