I have worked on my family history for fun over the years but do not have it organized, which I really need to do. To me, there is something special walking on land where I know my ancestors were 300 plus years ago. or even 150 years ago. The most awesome for me was Christ Church in Middlesex, Co. Va east of Richmond where they were in the 1650's.
Shirlv---you mean I can't talk about my great-grandfather who was a Free Methodist minister in southeastern Illinois in the late 1800's and he ran off with his piano player and left my grandmother to raise two girls. She remarried and had my Dad. She was also 16 years older than my grandfather----she robbed the cradle!!! LOL I also had a cousin who couldn't preach unless he was drunk and then my Dad's first wife ran off with the preacher's son!! ROFL!!!! Oh ---and then there was my great grandfather who divorced his wife to go to Alaska gold mining. Didn't make it but ended up in Idaho potato farming. I have a letter he wrote to my gf from there in 1902. ROFL I just laugh about it. My bad stuff must be in the genes!! ROFLMBO
Handle every stressful situation like a dog..
If you can't eat it or play with it,
Just pee on it and walk away...
