You could say that
I'm confident that most of my ancestors were ordinary hillbillies, about as far as the eye could see.
I guess life for them had its ups and downs.
Today's kitten is not getting up.
tap tap tap Is this thing on?
Are you logged in?
I was logged in. Now I’m going to the gym, leaving various teenaged girls to mope about the house, and the Elegant But Inert Bill in a state of collapse in his room. I made sure he was breathing.
Being heavily invested in sawing logs could be a form of being logged-in, I suppose.
I’m up, finally. But I want to go back to bed. Nothing but gloom and doom to listen to.
Ungh.
It’s just getting light out, 80, 48%, S @ 4 mph.
Double ungh..
Rise and shine all you Westerners!
those ancestors I was talking about yesterday lived in the middle ages in England but I’m also from Hillbilly stock, my dad’s family being from NC and Tenn.
Wow, it sounds like tracing my progeny.
I’m sure I have all sorts of interesting people in my background. That and $.25 will get me a cup of coffee if the Jets or Giants win.
My big thing is living my life according to what the Bible tells me is expected of me and teaching my children to do the same.
I don’t mean to dump on anyone else’ interest, butI just can’t imagine researching my ancestry any more than I can imagine collecting postage stamps or collecting examples of Obama’s lunacy. It would just be tedious, unending work to me.
Genealogy is not for everyone and I respect that but you can’t deny the joys it give a person when they discover new things about their family and about themselves as well as the role their families played in history however much it was.
I have only a mild interest in my ancestors, but it’s a harmless pastime for those care more. Sometimes unexpected connections are found which lead to interesting books.
I wouldn’t deny anyone else any joy they find, wherever they find it.
However, I would probaby mostly be interested if I had an inheritance coming I knew nothing about.
And if I found I were next in line for some throne somewhere I’d probably drop off the grid as fast as I could.
LOL!
really interesting books. I have an interesting theory based on genealogy and a question someone asked about being descended from royalty.
The theory being that since a lot of the royal families throughout history had rather large amounts of children albeit losing most to infant or childhood mortality.
Yet there were a good many who grew to adulthood and became parents themselves.
Now considering that their children grow up and become parents and so on the numbers would grow until you could populate a whole country.
So in theory we are in some way descended from royalty so that would make us all equal wouldn’t it?
‘So in theory we are in some way descended from royalty”
oops! That should have read “So we are ALL descended from royalty”
Are you having cataract surgery?
