I got back into gen.

2. In junior high

our geography assignment was to ask about our family tree, back in the 1960's. One of the kids in the class was distantly related to Winston Churchhill, which I always thought was cool.

I haven't come across any royalty. I probably still have relatives in Sweden, as 2 younger chidlren stayed with the parents when my great-grandmother and 3 of her brothers came to the U.S.

It is interesting to learn things. I am trying to create a report for my kids, nieces and nephews so they know names and places of a few generations. Albert Payson Terhune said dog owners could trace their pet's lineage back further than humans can trace theirs. I think the next generation, at least some of them, are getting to the age where they'd like to know about past family members.
