    Thanks for sharing this, Sue--I love history and family research! Been working on my own family tree for a couple of years now, not very devotedly, but I've uncovered a few scandalous facts that will one day make a great novel :D

    Happy holiday weekend, and thanks for stopping by my blog earlier!
