We will have ~ my father did a book that begins with a listing on the Revolutionary War vets in the lineage ~ and goes from there up to the present time. i've worked backwards to Brittany and Sweden, and, to a degree, to Spain and Italy ~ whole new piece of history for me ~ Brittany used to be a major European power.

A relative was the editor in chief of the Catholic Encyclopedia a century ago ~ and he seems to have made sure every single relate we ever had in the hierarchy got a nice piece written about him. Digesting a bunch of that stuff currently ~ there's a pope and what seems to be a couple of anti-popes in there. That relative knew some stuff I am sure.

What an incredibly rich history that is being captured...
