My grandmother was into the geneology thing, my mom used to tell of when she was a little girl in St Louis, MO, and very bored with her mothers tea parties and all her fur clad, gossiping "friends". Grandma was explaining about how we were related to William Penn. My mother stood up where she was playing quietly in a corner of the room and asked, "Mother, are you going to tell about the 2 horsethieves who were hung for stealing the mayors horses?"
She said all the ladies gasped, grandma turned deep purple as they all strutted out the door, leaving grandma staring at mom in disbelief. (Out of the mouth of babes!!) Mom was about 4 years old then.
Moms father was a printer in Nebraska or Missouri, was Chief, of the Choctau Tribe.
Mom and Dad used to argue which one was Lace Curtain, and which was Shanty Irish, It was pretty funny to us kids.
On Dads side (McCarthy) we are decended from royalty, and the Blarney Castle (Blarny Stone and all) once belonged to the family before loosing it to, I forget who, in a war of some sort.
