I’ve been spending my free time working on finding out how Richard’s ancestors came to be in Ohio. In the process of all of thei genealogy work we bought a cool new scanner/fax/copier/printer. I love it even though it scares the crap outta me when it talks to me.
It’s hard to do a family tree on a family when most of the male children are named after their father, grandfather, or uncle. 6 or 7 names repeated over and over. And I DO mean over and over. Think Thomas, Samuel, David, Daniel, etc to the 3rd, 4th, or 5th power as Richard would call it. It makes my eyes bleed.
Makes looking for my AWOL relatives simple. Damn.
I promised him I’d find them, like I have his other relatives, and straighten out this twisted, broken, tree. I’ll do my best but damn… just damn.
