and the civil War, lol. Folks on my mom's side of the family were in the Iroquois Federation during the Revolution and my dad's family came from Boone County, Kentucky so you know what side they were on during the Civil War. My only claim to fame was my mom's adopted mom was a direct descendant of Abigail Adams but since my mom was adopted, never mind.
