Though my family can be difficult at times, it was our approach to religion and fact that the wool trade went else where. I can't imagine living in a place where everyone has the same last name and is a cousin.

On the bright side I did have an xtimes Grandmother named Underhill which made me a life long Hobbit fan.

Opportunity knocking, and infant mortality due in part to overcrowding, led to my various ancestors’ one-way trips to America. Of course, I’ve got almost no cousins with my name, but an awfully large number of (known) cousins. Most of ‘em don’t know they’re related, because most people don’t know anyone older than their grandparents.
