LOL.. I understand.. My sister was our family historian. She was 17 years older than me, and of course knew all the family history.. Us kids always wanted her to make tapes or videos of all her knowledge and all her salty jokes and songs.. She was a riot, and we sure miss her. She was the matriarch and so many things disappeared with her..

Our family sounds a lot like yours.. My Mom's family had many fisherman and origanlly came from Nova Scotia, by way of Germany.. My Dad's were pisspots from England.. lol

Its hard when the one who knew all the stories dies...

There were a lot of years between you and your sister...That must have made for interesting times in your family...

Many of my dads relatives came from Scotland...to hear him tell it, they were so very bad, they got thrown out of Scotland, which is why they came to America...
